Hello there! I apologize that I have not been blogging much this week! I unfortunately caught a bug of some sort and was too ill to be at the school Wednesday and Thursday. Thankfully I was feeling much better this morning and was happy to be back at school with everyone! Today we did some catch up to complete a few tasks such as their Evanston neighbourhood community work and their One is a Snail, Ten is a Crab animal combinations up to 20 legs. The students really enjoyed working on our Playground project this afternoon. They worked in small groups to explore playground catalogues and find different examples of equipment that would fit under a variety of categories. The types of activities that they were trying to find equipment for were: swinging, climbing, spinning, sliding, and imagination. Our next steps will be to figure out the benefits and negatives of each type of equipment from the perspective of safety and interest of key users.
School pictures went home in students' backpacks today. They can be ordered online by using the specific student codes or you can return payment and order form in the attached envelope. The due date is November 15th to get them sent to the school, otherwise there is a charge for shipping after that date. If you would like your child to have retakes please send the form back with the "retakes" box checked off so that I can ensure they are sent for their picture retakes on that day.
We are collecting non-perishable food items that will be donated to Veterans from November 7-10. If you have any unopened food that you wish to be given to the Veterans Food Drive please send them to the school with your child next week. There will be no school on Friday, November 11 in honour of Remembrance Day. We will be recognizing and paying tribute to veterans on Thursday, November 10 with a special ceremony in the gym. Students will all receive poppies to wear on this day.
