Save the Date
Our last field trip for the year will be on Thursday, June 12th at Fraser Valley Trout Hatchery. Our hope is to have as many Dads join us as possible as a special Father’s Day event. However, if Dad is unable to attend, Grandpas, Moms or any other adult is certainly welcome. It is very helpful for each child to have someone with them on this field trip to assist with fishing.
Valentine’s Day
We will be celebrating Valentine’s in school on February 12. Sending items, cards/treats to school is not an expectation. However, if this is something you and your child wish to do, please consider the following guidelines as you make your plans.
CARDS
If you wish to share Valentine’s cards with friends, please ensure that you include one for each member of our class (20). Ideally, cards will not be addressed to specific people. Please leave the ‘to’ field blank and simply write ‘from___’. This will make delivery in the classroom easier for the students (and their teachers).
TREATS
Treats should be small and packaged with ingredients visible. Please do not send any nut products or homemade goodies.
VALENTINE’S MAILBOX
Please send a box, covered in plain paper and ready to decorate, to school on or before Monday, February 3rd (approximately cereal box size). We will be using them as ‘mailboxes’ to collect our Valentine’s cards/treats in the classroom.
DRESS-DOWN DAY
Students may wear Valentine’s coloured play clothes to school on February 12th. No uniform required.
Community Workers
As part of our Social Studies Unit this term, we will be looking at some workers in our Community. If you are a doctor, nurse, firefighter, police officer, dentist (to name a few and not limited to), and would like to do a short presentation on your job, please contact your child’s teacher with dates and times in February you are available.
