I must begin this blog with a set of apologies: first for the long lapses between postings this year (I'll try to improve!) and then for omitting some names from yesterday's class list. Just to be extra sure you've got a comprehensive list of all 28 students from Room Four, here are the names:
Keaton, Psalm, Ella, Kelly, Callum, Selin, Jackson, Seth, Brooklyn, Tyler, Hana, Angelic, Rowan, Addi, Logan, Chloe O., Cadence, Murphy, Angelo, Briezja, Kairos, Thomas, Ethan, Tajay, Chloe M., Theo, Beenadd, Bella
Please remember that if your child is bringing Valentines to school, they should bring one for every student, so that nobody feels left out. Thanks.
I would also like to extend a colossal thank-you to everyone who has helped make our teacher appreciation week such a special one. Your efforts and attention have been amazing - what an outstanding school community we have! And, to put the cherry on the icing on the cake of this week, my name was drawn for a special prize this morning! The whole grade one class trooped down to the office to select a gift. We were lucky enough to choose a Pick Up Sticks game - something the whole class can use and enjoy!
The school council has invited students and staff to dress up as a circus character for tomorrow afternoon's assembly. Also, the school council has asked students to bring a working flashlight, covered with coloured cellophane, if possible, for tomorrow afternoon's assembly.
The student council is inviting students to wear pink or red for Valentine's Day this Friday. Let's see how many people can dig out a splash of one of those colours to wear.
The grade one students will be going cross country skiing at the soccer pitch tomorrow morning, if the weather holds. (We won't go if it's colder than minus 10.) Parents, please make sure that your child has a warm hat and mittens to wear for this activity. Also, if possible, please send a hoodie to school with your child so they can wear if under their winter jacket. Active cross-country skiing can generate tons of body heat, and the students often ask to take off their jackets, so it's nice to have a hoodie on to bridge the gap between a sweltering parka and a too-cold t-shirt.
The grade one word of the day is "futile". The at-home reading selection is "The Lost Horse", a book reviewing the "or" sound.
