Foxes and Bears

The children have been completing amazing work 

and their interactions during lessons have been

wonderful!  We are continually impressed by their eagerness for advanced work.  This week we will be continuing with lessons.   Please remember to send an excuse any day that your child is unable to attend lessons or work on the platform.  On Thursday we will be focusing on snowflakes and your children will need to have several pieces of square white paper available along with a pair of scissors.  Third year students will be starting work with measuring angles.  They will need to have a protractor for follow up work this week.  On Friday we will celebrate the end of the first semester with Pajama Day!  Your child is welcome to wear their pajamas throughout the entire day!  We will also have a special reading of The Polar Express at read aloud in the afternoon on Friday.

Please remember to drive by the school this Saturday or Sunday (12-2 pm) to pick up your FREE student Boosterthon t-shirt, popsicles and Virtual Festival of Lights info.

If you are interested in gifting items for the classroom this holiday season you can find our classroom wishlist here.  There are several items included that will make our transition into the hybrid learning model both successful and safe.
