Newsletter update and what is ahead for October

Chers parents,

Thank you to our parent volunteers for your help with our visit to the PowWow at Oskayak High School. We had fantastic weather for a walk outside! We truly enjoyed the bright colourful outfits—regalia--of the dancers as well as the songs from the drummers. We all got to participate in the intertribal dances as well when all are invited to join the dancing! We also went inside the Tipi at the PowWow as a group and got to learn from one of the young dancers some learnings about the Tipi.

We have a new student in our class and the class has been helpful in showing him the classroom and school routines. We also met our care partners this week from Mme Lloyd’s Grade 2/3 class and did a craft with them with fall leaves.

 

On Thursday of this week, the school will be participating a run to honour Terry Fox and raise money for cancer research, so we will be talking about Terry’s journey with the students in class on Wednesday. In October we will be doing colour days: les jours de couleurs.  On colour days I ask that students dress in the chosen colour.  They can also bring something that is the chosen colour to share and make into a collage. (Please do not buy new things or clothing for these colour days).  On your child’s special day this month, we ask that your child bring their favourite book so we can share it with the class. We will be walking to Pooh Corner at Frances Morrison Library next Wednesday, October 7^th.  If your child does not have a library card please fill out the form we are sending home. Please send your child’s library card in his or her dossier on the 7^th.  If you can join us as a parent volunteer, please let us know.

 

Please keep the calendar where you can easily refer to these dates.
