Hello Everyone,

I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend.

It was so nice to see you at the Meet the Teacher last week. :)

We are continuing to work on our routines and procedures this week. Our class is doing wonderful at it! In math, we are reviewing their addition strategies, as well as working with the numbers 1-100.

Here are a few notes for our week:

1. There is no school Friday, September 28, as it is a Professional Development Day for the school.

2. On Thursday, September 27, Glen Stewart Primary will be celebrating Orange Shirt Day. Many schools across Canada will be participating in Orange Shirt Day. Since it began in 2013, participation in this day is an opportunity for teachers and students to bring awareness of residential schools and is also an invitation to reconciliation.

3. When parents are dropping off students, please do not exit your cars.  If you need to exit your car, please park your car in a parent parking space.  Parents who are dropping off their children need to have their children exit their car at the “drop students here” sign, near the loop’s exit.

4. This is our first week celebrating Star of the Week! Every Friday (or the last day of the school week, our class will do a random draw for our Star. That day, a letter will be sent home, as well as a poster for them to complete. They will return with the poster on Monday. We will make time each day to celebrate that student. 

One thing that is not in the letter, is that each student is able to bring in five photographs of themselves, and their family, friends, pets, etc... this is not mandatory, but they have the option if they wish.

Parents will be asked to write a letter for Wednesday, that will be given to your child. It could be a memory ,and accomplishment, anything you wish!

Our first star of the week is Mara!

5. If students wish to bring in a coiled scribbler, or a journal to write and draw in, feel free to send it. I do not mind at all! There have been a few students who have been asking. 

    That is all for now! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to message!
