Clarification: Field Trip - A Rocha

Hello!

I just wanted to clarify two things about the upcoming field trip:

1.       Consent Forms due THIS week – Thursday April 19

2.       Field Trip at A Rocha NEXT WEEK – Tuesday April 24

If you handed back the consent forms today and thought the field trip was this Thursday, but you would like to come and it now works for you to drive next Tuesday, please just email me or write a note in your child’s planner.

Thanks.

Volunteer Hours Notice Sent Home Today

Dear Grade Two Parents,

Over the last little while we have started talking about communities.  As a follow up activity, we each designed a puzzle piece based on our families and unique interests.  We have talked about how each of us have been made in God’s image, but have been equipped with different abilities: both strengths and weaknesses.  The puzzle pieces have been put on display and to complete it, it would be great to have a picture of each student sent to school which may be posted around the puzzle pieces as a reminder that we live together in community and what that looks like in our classroom.  The picture sent to school should be a scanned version or another copy as these pictures will be posted on our wall. 

On a different note, I would like to thank everyone who has expressed interest to volunteer this year.  At this point, I have a few small jobs and it is all “take-home” work.  I will write these jobs out individually each on a sticky note and then I will place them on the yellow laminated piece of paper by the front door and the parent bulletin board.  I cannot guarantee how frequently these jobs will come up, but I will keep you posted via the grade two blogspot as that is the best way to notify you!   These jobs will be claimed on a first come, first serve basis. 

Thanks.
