Mrs. Ly and Ms. Granger welcome volunteers who would like to help out in the classroom. Some tasks you may be asked to do include, sharpening pencils, organizing materials, preparing materials for an activity, working with students in small groups etc.
Please contact the child's corresponding teacher directly at the email below to coordinate volunteering in class on any dates you may have in mind.
Dress for the weather
As our weather is very unpredictable please help your child be prepared for cold days. We will be outside everyday unless it is -20 weather (hopefully that isn't soon...). Please practice with your child to dress themselves in their snow pants, jackets, mittens, boots etc. It is very helpful it clothing and shoes are all labeled!
Today was Orange shirt day. We had an assembly and watched a Grade 2 student perform a special dance. Ask me to tell you about it! In class we read a story called "Phyllis's Orange Shirt". This is a true story of what happened to a child named Phyllis when she attended a residential school. We brained stormed a list of how children should feel at school and wrote about it, because "every child matters". Here is a list of our ideas:
Every child should feel...
important
happy
loved
cared for
special
good at school
excited
heard
