Good Afternoon Families! What a great first full week of school.  Students are becoming familiar with school and classroom routines!  Ask your child about their exciting week at school and find highlights below:

"In the gym we played alien tag and fruit salad." CL

"We played rainbow tag and toilet tag in Phys. Ed this week.  To make a rainbow you have to curl your body!" AVM

"We coloured pictures and words about friendship and what makes a good friend.  We play with friends even though sometimes they are different than you!" AM

"A good friend helps to clean up even if they weren't playing at that centre.  Good friends play and help each other." CM

"When we were playing the xylophones I was the conductor.  I was telling everybody when to play and how to play!" LP

"In our journals we wrote about things we love.  I love traveling." JNS
