Informational items:
Our class library day is Tuesday! To make sure your child is able to choose new books, please have all library books returned by Monday. This gives us time to get everything organized so every student has the opportunity to enjoy new reading material each week. Thank you for your support in helping us build a love of reading!
A big thank you to all the families who helped their child gather pictures, stickers, and images of their favourite things to decorate their visual journals. The effort and care put into collecting these items truly shows—each journal is unique, beautiful, and a wonderful reflection of who our students are. They will be such special keepsakes to use and treasure throughout the year.
We are excited to share that our dance residency with Three Left Feet will begin on Monday! Over the next two weeks, students will have the opportunity to learn and practice a variety of dance skills in a fun and engaging way. The residency will wrap up with a special performance next Thursday at 10:45 - 11:30, where students will showcase what they have learned. We look forward to this creative and energetic experience!
Looking back on learning......

Science:
- Materials are all over our words.
