Just a couple of reminders/points of information:

1. Report cards went home today - yehaw!  Please return the report card's envelope, the comment sheet, and the interview request sheet.  There is no need to return the report card itself.  I request interviews for all my students for the first reporting period; just indicate which day you'd like me to meet with you on the interview form.  If you have a specific time you'd like to see me, you can jot that down, too, and if you can't meet within the dates on the form, I can arrange another time to see you.

2. There will be a "Jersey Day" this Friday.  Students are invited (but not required!) to wear some sport-themed clothing to school to show their love and allegiance to the world of athletics!

3.  There will be an early dismissal this Friday.  Students will finish at lunch.

4.  Drop in and have a look at the students' pig bios on the bulletin board outside the classroom if you get a minute!

Sorry for the long wait between posts - it's been chock-a-block around here lately.  Here's a photo I couldn't pass up posting, though.  We had a visit from Piglet today and thought everyone would like a gander at Piglet and her new friends!

We've just received news from the pool that more instructors are down and out with the flu, so swimming has been cancelled once again.  The pool staff has now decided that the whole set of lessons will be held sometime in December.  We'll let you know the dates when we know them ourselves.

The first and second graders have been invited to go to the high school this Wednesday morning to work on a Remembrance Day project with the Grade Twelve class. We'll leave the school around 10:00 and plan to return by recess.

Here are some photos of the spooky first graders' Hallowe'en finery!

I hope everyone had a great Hallowe'en!  It was nice to see lots of familiar faces at my door on Friday!

Please remember that we start swimming tomorrow morning.  We leave the school around 9 and begin our lessons at 9:25.  We'll be swimming Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday this week.  Thanks to everyone who volunteered to help out.  Volunteers are welcome to walk to the pool with us, or meet us at the pool.
