OUR FIRST WEEK

WOW!  What an amazing week we have been having in Kindergarten!  I am so impressed with how well the students are adjusting to being at school...so many new routines but they are ALL doing do well!  THANK YOU!  We are getting prepared for next week as we being our FULL DAYS!  I know a few students have been feeling a little tired by the end of our day so it will be a challenge for the first little while to adjust to all day but I know they can do it.  Please ensure your child is getting plenty of sleep, especially for our first few weeks of full day classes.  If you have concerns or questions as we go along, please know that you can always contact me.

Tomorrow we will be going to Mass for the first time with our class and we will be sitting with our Grade 5 (Mrs. Tyrrell) Buddies.  We were able to meet our buddies today at recess, which was pretty exciting.  Please note that tomorrow is also a Food Bank Mass (the first Friday of every month is a Food Bank Mass) so we put a reminder in their blue folders and we hoping that students can bring in a non-perishable food item.  No worries if you are unable but we always tell the students that every item helps and we keep track each month, trying to beat our tally from the month before.  Thank you in advance for your generousity.

Another reminder for bringing in the following items to our classroom: a family photo, gym shoes, blanket/towel, stuffie, extra socks, shorts and underwear, water bottle and phone list.  If you have already sent in all your items, THANK YOU and if you have labelled everything, an even BIGGER THANK YOU!  Please send the items by tomorrow if you can:o)  We do have PE and Quiet Time on Monday so it would be nice if everyone had the things that the need.

Your child also brought home a Hot Lunch form as well as a notice about our CCS BBQ on Tuesday, September 10th. Hot Lunch forms are due by Friday but since it came late this week for our students, you can also submit it Monday morning.  Please also let us know if you are able to attend so we know how much food we need to order.  Thank you!

Looking forward to our first Friday together and wishing you all a Happy Weekend in advance. Thank you for all the work you have done with your child...they are doing so well and Mrs. Lewis and I are having a great time.  God bless!
