Division 11 continues to settle in and build our classroom community. I am really enjoying getting to know your children better and am excited for what the year holds.
Reminders and Updates for this week are...
*Tomorrow is our Terry Fox Run! Students are encouraged to wear Tie Dye for Terry (if they have anything). Also donations can be made online to Fairview's Fundraising Page: http://www.terryfox.ca/FairviewElementaryMapleRidge
*We have added Terry Fox poems and math this week. Please complete the math over the weekend before returning on Monday. Thanks for your support!
*Please complete the parent portal release forms (walking, media, yearbook, etc.) also submit $7.00 for planners either on the parent portal or by sending in cash (in a labelled ziplock). Also if possible could you please send in headphones/ear buds that your child can use in the class as we use iPads for a station at both Reader's Workshop and Math. Please label these with your child's name. Thanks.
*At one of our 'Reader's Workshop' stations we have been discussing reading strategies. (As I have told your children, I still use some of these strategies, even as an experienced reader who loves to read). We are making a special book mark to keep at school as a reference but I am also sending home a black and white 1/2 sheet with the 'Catch Phrases' we are using such as 'Eagle Eye' and 'Stretchy Snake'. Please keep these as a reference at home. A couple groups have already brought them home and they can be found in the 'secret' plastic pouch in the front of your child's planner. The remainder of students will bring them home next week.
*As mentioned in my first letter, masks are really encouraged. So far many of the students are wearing them regularly. Thank you for the support with this, I really appreciate your assistance with this.
*Unfortunately during a pandemic it is difficult to connect with parents in the same ways we have in the past. Please feel free to come over at the end of the day to say hi and introduce yourself and if you have any questions or concerns, we can make an appointment. Of course I can always be reached via email.
Next week will be a short but busy week... Please mark your calendars!
