The following information came home today:
Dear Parents,
Tomorrow is our first field trip! Please keep the
following in mind when packing for tomorrow.
- Please be on time for school.
- Area 32 students should come to Area 24 with
their lunches immediately following attendance.
- We will eat lunch at school when we return. All
students will leave their lunches in Area 24.
- I will bring a school snack with us for the
Nature Centre. Students may wish to bring a water bottle. Parent chaperones
will carry the bottles for their group so that we don’t need to bring bags
with us.
- Please dress
for the weather. The forecast is showing a lovely, albeit a bit
chilly, day. Running shoes or boots, a winter jacket, scarf, gloves and a
hat would be appropriate. Snow pants aren’t a bad idea. Better safe than
sorry.
- Do not send money, electronics, or other valuables.
I’d also appreciate you taking the time to review the
following safety rules with your child. These are things we discussed today and
will review tomorrow. Thanks!
ü Stay with your partner and parent chaperone
at all times.
ü When getting off the streetcar, go
immediately to the sidewalk and line up with your partner.
ü Be respectful of nature – do not disturb
living things.
ü Follow instructions from Nature Guides and
parent chaperones right away.
ü Have fun!
See you tomorrow!

Words of the Week
This is one of my personal favourites. I think ‘oi’ is a fun sound to say. In English,
it sounds just like ‘wa’, as in “water”. At first, children sometimes
use the letter a when trying to
write this sound. That’s just fine, they are similar. From now on, we’ll help
them listen a little closer and remind them that there’s an even better way to
write that sound. Our sound poster in class has a picture of a bird and the
word oiseau. If you’re doing rule
posters at your house, looking at this one is an immediate reminder of what the
sound looks like.
moi, toi, froid, voiture, oiseau
Bonus words: roi, loi
