First day success!

 I am so proud of my Room 10 kiddos!!!

Today was a big day with so much to listen and learn. Everyone worked hard to keep sanitized and masked up whenever asked. Remember, if you move you mask. 

Because we have a smaller class size in Room 10 we are fortunate that when we sit at our table spot, we are able to take a mask break. For now, I have supplied  paper bags to store the masks, while breaks are taken. You are welcome to send in a mask container to keep the masks sanitary during mask breaks. 

CBE masks were distributed today. Some chose to keep them at school and some chose to bring them home. They seem to fit on the smaller side. 

Please send in a water bottle for your child. They are able to refill them at our sink. It is hot and dry during the summer months, especially with a mask.

Please ensure your child brings a backpack every day. They will travel with your child throughout the day at recess, lunch and music classes. 

Our kiddos are not used to scheduled eating times (neither am I 😆) so please send extra food. Some of us were finished all of our food and still felt hungry. 

One of the biggest challenges of our day was around SHARING! We teach our kiddos that sharing is caring and now, we have to reverse that and teach that NOT SHARING is caring. Please remind your child that they must not grab at shared school materials, share supplies or handle any property but their own. Any time a child touches any item in our room, it must be put away to be sanitized at a later time. Sooooo, if a child is grabbing things off of shelves without permission, those things are now unable to be used by anyone. There is so much new learning and we will work hard with your children to build empathy, flexibility and care for self and others. 

Your kids did so well today! I know we will have a great year together. 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

September Forms Package

 Helpful Hints: Hi there,   Today your paper work package should be in your child’s backpack. All forms need to be filled out and returned as soon as possible. I will try and help out with a few hints. Please call or email me if you have any questions.   Obtaining Dependent Student Information : This allows the staff working with your child to receive information. This may include a doctor or therapist that has a strategy for me to use to support your child. It could be a grandparent or regular babysitter that may need to inform me of an issue regarding things like health, wellness, pick up times, when you are away on holiday or working, or otherwise. It could be a partner that you entrust to pick up your child for every day events like appointments, or emergencies like illness. I recommend adding the names of everyone you think might be connected to your child.  It will save you the trouble of having to quickly add someone, at the last minute.   Releasing Depen...

First week success!

 WOW!!! I can't believe our week is over already. We did so many activities together!! This week we definitely learned how to keep safe and healthy at school. If you move you mask.  And sanitize, sanitize sanitize! But we also did a lot of other learning. YAY! This week we started creating our I WANT MONSTERS . We are learning to control our I wants when we are in a group setting. We are learning how to be the boss of our brains. We can use strategies such as taking a breath, looking around to see what the group plan is, asking for a break and using self talk.  Take a look at some of our creations. They are not even completed and they already look awesome! We have also started our word splash journals. Ask your child how many words they can speed write! We are making connections with words and looking for rhyme, blends, vowel sounds and meaning. We wrote addition math sentences using grid paper and dice. We listened to stories that will help us develop our social skills a...

You move you mask!

  Welcome Back! I hope you all enjoyed your long weekend. It is hard to remember all of the routines after a few days off. Remember to wear a mask when entering the bus and the school. When you are at your table spot in Room 10 you are welcome to take a mask break. It is a good idea to have a spare mask in your backpack. Also, it is dry at school. Kiddos are encouraged to have a water bottle at their table spot. Today a notice went home about picture day. It should be in your child's backpack. Picture day is this Thursday!
