Today, you are receiving our Initial Communication of Learning (Progress Report). I hope you enjoy reading the report card with your child, celebrating all of their accomplishments, and talking about next steps. We will do a small goal setting activity this week, so I would like to ask for a favour in preparation for this. If you could please talk to student about one thing they are doing very well already, and then help them pick one thing that they could work on improving right away (just one!). It can be very simple, like packing their bag on their own, or tidying up quickly when asked. We will write down our goals, and begin earning stars for doing them!
Yesterday you should have received your interview time confirmation. It was a very small green slip. Please let me know if your time no longer works for you, and we will rearrange. Students are invited and encouraged to come with you, this way, they can show you some of their work and be part of our discussion. Please do your best to be on time, and I will do my best to stay on time. I know you have other places to be!
While you are visiting, here are some things you might want to do...
- Check out the book fair in the library
- Check below, in and above your cubby and check the lost and found (the clothes line in our hallway) for items you can take home
- Check that your extra clothes bag is still complete
- Admire our leaf art that we made a while ago. We collected leaves, made rubbings using wax candles, and painted over with watercolours.
Thanks again to the parents who came on our library outing yesterday. We listened to some stories about giants, including a puppet show of "Jim and the Beanstalk"! Afterwards we went over to Fred Hamilton and had perfect weather for some fall outdoor play.
