Week of Sept 30 - Oct 4

 lundi le 30 septembre 2013

Dear Div 16 families,

Today, students had a visit from Constable Matt who came to talk about the role police officers play in the community. He also talked about WITS, a way for students and adults to make safe and positive choices when faced with peer conflict.

Tomorrow, we have a special visit from Leslie at the Native Friendship Centre. The first of a series of 3 visits, Leslie will begin her "Box of Treasures" with some storytelling. In November she will also be taking us to the museum and doing a First Nations craft activity.

Thursday is school photo day. Also, if you want to submit your October scholastic book order, please submit it to me by Thursday (check only please).

This week, our colour unit continues as we move from red (rouge) to yellow (jaune). We will learn all about yellow by exploring the classroom, collecting leaves, drawing and doing other craft activities. Students are continuing to practice writing their names, saying the alphabet and counting to 10.

A reminder to send scrabooks and family photos to school with your child. If you don't have a colour photograph or colour printer at home, feel free to email me a photograph and I can print it on the school's black and white printer (ehoefer@sd61.bc.ca).

A class contact list is coming soon, I just have a couple more contacts to get a hold of. Have a wonderful week!

Mme Elise
