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 and emotional regulation skills. We shared our thoughts and feelings about the challenges of being in a group, such as waiting to speak, listening to others, doing activities that we don't really want to do and staying in our own space. 

We have begun our tree study and next week we will be designing tree cookies with a hopeful message to display with the entire school population. This weekend you and your child could brainstorm some ideas for their own message of hope. Check out our school website newsfeed to see a video of the staff tree cookies.

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...

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!
