Some photos from the WDM a Christmas Long Ago


































Activity conference reminder


Hello!  I am looking forward to meeting with you and your child tomorrow afternoon/evening.  Please remember that this is an activity conference.   It is an opportunity for you to walk through some centers: alphabet, math, friends’ corner, and poster to see what your child is able to do.  You will also have the opportunity to look through your child’s work.  We can briefly discuss as you look through his or her work but this will not be an interview time.  Please be mindful of this as we will have other parents and children at the same time and time is limited; the whole session is a half hour but each center will be about 5-7 minutes.  The students are often excited to share what they know with you. 

There is also a Scholastic book fair in the library.  You can come with your child to select and purchase some books if you so choose before or after your conference time.

MERCI!

Mme Wallace

A SHORT WALK--note correction and update!

In addition to the trip to the WDM on the 14th we will be taking a short walk to McQuarries Tea Emporium on *Nov. 7th to look at the Remembrance Day window display (this is a new date and time at 9:30am).  Thank you to Sherrill and Crystal who are able to accompany us on short notice.  There is some neat history that goes with it and the owners are wonderfully accommodating in sharing the stories with us.  It is a short walk and I will need only one or two other adults to accompany me. 
I have one parent volunteer for the 14th.  Let me know if you are able to come.

Merci!

Important dates to add to the calendar!

My apologies I missed a couple of dates for the calendar.  Please add them to your copies.

Thurs. Nov. 27th  at 4pm into the evening we will have activity conferences.  In kindergarten we do not have report cards until March. This gives students time to mature and adjust  to school before formal reporting. Activity conferences are longer in length and are an opportunity for parents to see their children in action.  We will have four groups of children with their parents going through four different activities where your children will be showing you what they know.  There will be a math center, an alphabet center, a poster center and the coin d'amis.  You will have a clipboard sheet where you can take notes and add comments. I will be circulating to answer questions but please remember that this is not an interview time.   

Nov. 28th  there will be no school for students.

We will also be walking across the street to visit McQuarries' Tea Emporium to see the Remembrance Day window display. 
Nov. 14th is our trip to the WDM.

Let me know if you have any concerns or questions!
Thank you
Mme Jennifer Wallace
