Welcome Back !!!

WELCOME to ROOM 208!!!

We’ve had a great start to the new school year. Everyone’s started to settle into their new routines. I’d like to take this opportunity to say “Welcome back!” to all our new students.

Please take a moment to review a few of our classroom routines:


AGENDA’S:

The agenda’s are our primary means of communication. Students will communicate day to day information in the agenda. Reminders of any HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS will be noted here. Please be sure to check and initial your child’s agenda every night.

Also please feel free to write and let us know of any exciting events that happen at home or any other information you wish to relay.

If you know your child is going to be away please also note that in the agenda. It is extremely helpful to us and greatly appreciated!



PHYS. ED. & Km CLUB:

All of our students participate in Physical Education three times a week (Days 1, 3, and 5)

On days, we don’t have gym class, we still spend a Ministry mandated 20 minutes of “Daily Physical Activity).

For the next few weeks students will also be participating in Kilometer Club. This is usually run at afternoon recess.

It is important for students to have running shoes and appropriate active wear for school everyday.


LIBRARY:

We have Library exchange once a week. Please make sure your child has a chance to read the library book at home and that he/she takes responsibility for the care of the book. The library book needs to be returned every week to be exchanged for a new one or renewed for another week.


HEALTH & SAFETY:

We have students at school who have severe NUT allergies. Please keep this in mind when your child is packing his or her lunch and snacks.
