Dear Families,
What a busy week! Our students have jumped right into their learning and have had a lot of fun. We have started our learning groups in Language Arts, Math, and Life Skills.
In Language Arts we have been focusing on school rules, and expected behaviours. The students are writing, matching words and captioning pictures to show their understanding of the rules that we all follow in the classroom, in the hallway, and on the playground.
The Math lessons have been teaching students about numbers. We are counting, sequencing numbers, and making numbers using counters, stickers, cubes and more.
Our Life Skills lessons have been looking and different types of food, and sorting items into things that we can eat, and things that we cannot eat. While some students work on these life skills, others have started to work their way through the UFLI literacy program to enhance their reading skills.
We ended the week with the Terry Fox Run and fundraiser - thank you to all the families that were able to contribute. The students joined their school community outside on the field and ran laps for Terry, and it was so great to see everyone running and having fun together!
Important Information:
Please label all of your child’s belongings before sending them to school.
Orange Shirt Day
During the week of September 22-26, students will spend time reflecting on the meaning of Orange Shirt Day.
On Friday September 26, staff and students are encouraged to wear their Orange Shirts.
Classroom activities throughout the week will include age-appropriate activities related to Indigenous ways of knowing and cultural significance.

Change of Clothes
A number of students have been needing a change of clothes throughout the day.
Please make sure to pack an extra pair of pants in your child's backpack.
If any families have small pants that they need to donate, the office would be happy to take them.
