Welcome to all the JKs! We are looking forward to getting to know all of you:) So far the staggered entry has gone well. No tears yet! Bravo! Wednesday is the BIG day, with everyone here all day. Our quiet little classroom is about to get super busy!
A few things to tell you about: 1. Please send in a change of clothes, a blanket for quiet time, a family photo and a change of shoes for inside. Please make sure EVERYTHING you send in is labelled with your child's name! Things do go missing from time to time and we do our best to track them down. Labels always help:) 2. We would like to make a class craft using socks. If each student could bring in one spare sock for Monday we can get started. Merci! 3. Please do your best to update, sign and send in all the forms as soon as possible. If you have any questions about anything, please let us know. 4. We have paired each of the JKs with an SK buddy to help with their transition. Buddies are responsible for showing them where to put their things and general routines. 5. Your child will have 3 other teachers this year. M Moore will be doing Music twice a week. Mme Hare and Mlle Beaton will also be involved with the class, doing similar activities to what we do. We also have library once a week, and gym twice a week. Our library day is Day 2, which currently falls on Wednesdays. You can check your school calendar to find the cycle days if you lose track. I've also posted the calendar under the "forms" section. 6. Mme Katsaounis/Mme Proude's class and ours have decided to stay outside for most of the day on Fridays. We normally spend a good portion of the day outside, but Fridays we will spend about 2/3 outdoors. Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately! Also feel free to send in sunscreen (labelled) and we can help to apply it. Again, if there are any questions, just ask! Mme Ellis

Does the size of the sock matter for the craft?
