The Pictures are Coming...
Unfortunately we are STILL waiting for confirmation that we can start posting student pictures on our blogs. This cannot begin until all the student verification forms are done and have been processed by central office. So, in the meantime, you will have to enjoy my exciting weekly updates without any cute pictures; however, the pictures will come when its time, and they will be worth the wait!
Halloween is in the Air!
We had an exciting week here in EIP. There were a variety of Halloween centers set up for the students to enjoy. From costumes in the dress up center, to pumpkin and ghost plastic-wrap painting, there was oodles of spooky fun happening in our classroom!
Christmas in October?!
Yes, you read that right! Even though we have not yet had Halloween, we were busy this past week working on my favourite Christmas project and fundraiser. Each year, the students at Robina Baker make artwork that their parents can pay to have printed on Christmas cards. These cards are always so cute! Your children have been busy working on this project and their artwork will soon be sent away to the printer for sample cards to be made. Keep an eye on your children's mailbag early in November, this is when they will be bringing home their sample cards and you will have the opportunity to purchase them at that time if you would like.
Volunteer Opportunities
I have had many parents inquire about volunteering in our EIP classroom! If you would like to help out, please click this link to sign up for a timeslot. Please note, as many parents have expressed an interest in volunteering, I am asking each interested parent or guardian to only sign up for one timeslot to ensure that everyone who wants to volunteer has the opportunity.
**Please note, you are required to complete the volunteer form through your PowerSchool account before you may volunteer at Robina Baker School.
Thank You!
A huge thank you goes out to Selena White for another batch of play dough. Thank you, Selena! Getting a new fresh batch of play dough allows us to throw out the old, hard, and sometimes germ-filled play dough, and we are so grateful!
Coming Up!
- October 26th, 3:20 - 7:30 pm - Parent Teacher Meetings, Games Night, and Book Fair
If you would like to sign up for a timeslot to chat with me, please feel welcome to do so! You will also have the opportunity to sign up for an IPP meeting at the end of November where we will take time to sit down and talk about your child's progress and goals. Parent-teacher meetings are only 10 minutes long and are less informal than our IPP meetings. If you would like to sign up for a timeslot, please click here.
- October 31st - Robina Baker Halloween Parade, 9:00 am
Parents are welcome to come watch this fun parade in our school gym
Afternoon students are welcome to attend the parade with their parents if they would like!
- October 31st - Halloween Party
Children are welcome to wear their costumes to school on this day.
Please consider leaving your child's costume accessories at home as these items often get lost or broken!
Please send your child with their own little party snack as we will be watching a Halloween movie as a fun little treat. Fun snack ideas include: a small bag of chips, a juice box, one or two pieces of Halloween candy.
- November 1st - PD Day - No School
- November 9th - Photo Retake Day
These pictures are scheduled for the morning. If your child is in the afternoon class and you would like them to have a retake photo, please bring them to the school around 9:00 am so they can have their picture taken. You will take your child home after their picture is done and they are welcome to come back to school in the afternoon for their regular class time.
