Hello parents! A few updates for this week!
Earthquake Release Day – Friday May 7th
A few weeks ago you received a very important notice regarding this Friday’s Earthquake Release Drill. Please read it through carefully if you haven’t had a chance yet. Pick up begins at 1:30. If you are unable to pick up your child, please try to have somebody indicated on your emergency release forms do it for you.
The students will all be assembled into the gym while waiting to be picked up. We are asking, if possible, for you to pack a little individual toy (a colouring book with a few crayons, a book to read, a stuffed toy) in your child’s backpack for your child to play with while they are waiting for you. PLEASE no electronic devices (such as iPods, Nintendo DS etc.) as these are forbidden at school.
Butterflies!
Tomorrow we will begin our butterfly life cycle project in the class. Caterpillars have been delivered to our class and over the next four weeks the children will observe them grow, watch them change into a chrysalis, and transform eventually into butterflies that we will release into our garden. This is a super exciting project for the children!
Elmer!
Elmer the Safety Elephant is coming to talk to us tomorrow all about safety, with an emphasis on bike safety!
Saleema Noon
Our sexual health talk with Saleema Noon is next week. She is an absolutely wonderful speaker. I will send a letter home following the talk, so that you may know what was discussed in class should your child have any questions.
I hope you are all enjoying this lovely spring weather!
