Hi everyone,
Things have been going well in class! The kids are loving the dinosaurs and the outside time. Yesterday was fun in the snow and today was fun sliding down ice hills:) A couple of things to update you on. Tomorrow, Friday, is Tribes Day. For the assembly, we will be recognizing a student who demonstrates respect towards her peers. We're asking the kids to dress up in formal wear or dress-up clothing. A.K.A. FANCY DAY. Feb 5th we will be having a presenter come in. Her name is Jan Sherman and she is an Anishnabe mother, culture keeper, storyteller, drummer, and spiritual guide. She has done sessions with our students in the past and is wonderful. We are asking for a $2 fee which is now available online for payment. Merci! Feb 12th we will be having a Read-a-Thon with the kindergarten classes. Simply put, we will be having someone come in to read to the students from the RBC bank. There is nothing you need to do. I have also been trying to book something with Goodness Me but I'm having trouble getting in touch. The hope was that we could do some Valentine's Day baking over there. But as it stands now, I might have to figure something out on our own because I haven't heard back from them. I'll be in touch! Lastly, they have hired someone to replace Mme Germann. His name is Douglas James and he will be starting on Monday. We will be asking him to teach music and science-type activities. Thanks for your continued support! Mme Ellis
