Fall is Here

This week we will be learning all about fall. From looking at leaves and fall clothing, to exploring fall activities and our senses during the season, we will be fall experts by the end of the week! On Friday, we will be going for a leaf walk to observe and collect leaves with the other Grade 1 classes. Please make sure your child has appropriate footwear for our walk.

I would like to take this time to provide you with a little more information about our agenda messages. All of the students are asked to write the daily message even when it is not applicable to them specifically. For example, when a due date for a field trip permission form is approaching, I will often have the kids write a reminder in their agenda. On the day(s) that we write the reminder, some of the kids will have already handed in their form, but they will write the message anyway. In Grade 1 it is very difficult to differentiate the agenda message for each student because lots of times many kids are unsure about what they have or have not handed in. In order to ensure that all parents get the information they need about upcoming due dates and other matters, I have all of the students write every message. If I write a message in your child's agenda, that means it is specific to you and your child and wouldn't apply to the majority of the class. Also, if you are writing a message to me in your child's agenda, please try to write it on the right hand side so that your child has room to write their daily agenda message in the correct box. Thank you!
