September 14th-18th
Hi Families!
We had a great first four days of grade one! We are learning lots of new routines, gaining independence, building friendships and getting to know each other. Each week, we alternate playing on the front playground and back playground during our recess times. 1B is VERY excited to play on the back playground next week!
Here's what's happening in 1B:
Monday: Day 5 Phys. Ed
Tuesday: Day 6 Library & Music
Wednesday: Day 1 Phys. Ed
Thursday: Day 2 Music
Friday: Day 3 Phys. Ed (Twice! Once in the morning and once in the afternoon.)
Words of the week - go, to, went, can **We will practice reading and writing these words**
Learning Goals: Each month I will outline the curriculum outcomes and learning we will be exploring. Click here, or visit the "monthly learning goals" tab at the top of this website.
Forms: Thanks to those who filled out the forms that were sent home on the first day of school. If you haven’t done so already, please send them back as soon as possible.
Photos: I’ll be taking photos of the students engaging and the various activities we do in 1B. Once I collect all the permission forms for sharing photos on this Google Site, I'll add the photos under the "Our Classroom" tab at the top of this page.
Meet the Teacher: You're invited to come into our classroom on Wednesday, September 16th from 6:20-6:35pm. This is a great chance to see our classroom and meet other parents. I'll have a quick slideshow to go over some information about Grade 1!
Hot Lunches: Our Hot Lunch program will begin Monday, September 14th. To place these orders, you will need to create a new account (even if you had one last year) and place your orders for next week by 9pm on Sundays.
Here is the website to register and order: https://glenstewartprimary.hotlunches.net/admin/?action=register-form
Monday: Cheese Pizza (Domino’s)
Friday: Cheese Pizza (Stratford Pizza Corner)
Microwave: We have a microwave in our classroom to warm up food for lunch! Due to class size and limited time for lunch, each child is limited to 30 seconds for the microwave. Please don't send KD cups or frozen dinners as they take a long time to heat up and then cool down to eat!
Homework: We will begin homework routines later this month, stay tuned for more information!
Breakfast Program: Our breakfast program begins this week and is open for all students! Toast with butter and toast with jam are always available. Additionally there can be various options such as apples, bananas, cheese or yogurt. Breakfast is available to all students between 8:00 and 8:25 daily.
Footwear: Please ensure your child is able to put on their indoor and outdoor footwear independently (ie - tie laces, or pull up zippers). If they have laces, it's expected they can tie their shoes themselves.
Upcoming Dates to Remember:
Wednesday, September 16th - Meet the Teacher (6:20-6:35pm)
Wednesday, September 30th - No classes (National Day for Truth and Reconciliation)
