September 3, 2008

Welcome back to school - and to our class blog! This space will be used for reminders, homework listings, announcements, video postings, "bouquets", word of the day listings (today's word is "facetious" and yesterday's word was "initial"), links to educational sites, etc. Blogs are fairly new to most parents (and to me!), so if you have any feedback regarding blogging, I'd love to hear from you. I'll try to post something by 4:30 p.m. every day.

I'm thrilled that our teacher aide this year is the lovely and talented Mrs. Dolny.
Our class will also be taught by Miss Montgomery for the last hour of every afternoon. Miss Montgomery is the new Grade 3 FRIM teacher. She will be teaching our class Social Studies and Science.

My contact information at the school is 852-4447, extension 204 or by email at lindmorg@gyrd.ab.ca.

Reminders for this week:
1. Book orders are due this Friday. If you decide to order books, please return the order form and payment by then. Thanks.
2. If you haven't already sent a paint shirt, please send one as soon as possible. We have lots of messy art projects planned and it would be nice to protect your child's clothing.
3. Please send a clean, empty tin can to school with your child for an art project tomorrow. Any size can will do.
4. Your child should have shown you his or her homework book (agenda). Mrs. Dolny or I will try to initial it daily at school. Please sign or initial it daily at home as well.

Bouquet Time!

Thanks so much to Gail (George's mom) and Wendy (Nik's mom) for volunteering to represent our class on the school council. Thanks also to Suzie (Caira's and Cassidy's mom) for agreeing to be a key communicator for our class. If anyone else is interested in volunteering for either of these jobs (many hands will make light work!) or in any other capacity for our classroom, please let me know.
