This is the first blog this year to all my new parents. We are officially Division 12!
Like I said before...if may take me awhile to always remember to say that...but I will try!!
so a big welcome to DIVISION 12!!
I will try not to innundate you with my chatter..i do like to chatter, but I will just give some important messages, show you some of the pictures that I took and hope everyone got this message and gets into the routine of reading them.
Typically I will write to everyone once a week...usually on Sunday or Tuesday...as those are the easiest day for me to do the blog. If you ever have questions in between, just send me an email and I will respond to you as quickly as possible.
The children had a great week! They were pretty pooped, just getting back into the routine of listening and working and playing with each other. But I have to say I was very proud of their efforts. I have taken pictures of some of their work. Until I get a signed permission to post your childs picture (it will come home in a package soon) I cannot take pictures of children. Hopefully that will happen soon. I learned how to do pictures..yayay...and so I like to post them for you to take a look at. BTW...I'm not that computer literate, so this is big for me to blog!
Important dates and pieces of information:
1) This Thursday, Sept 24th is Bayview's open house. I'm not sure of the times, but there are posters all over the school ( Ithink 6ish). Everyone is welcome to drop by and take a walk through the school and the classroom and see what we have done in two weeks. I think you will be impressed.
2) This Friday afternoon, Sept 25th...is the Terry Fox Run. We will be running whether it is rainy or sunny, so make sure your child comes prepared with a rain jacket and running shoes. If it is overcast but not rainy we will be walking to Jericho Beach Park and running around the duck pond etc. A route will be marked out and the children will be expected to run/walk for 30 minutes. If it is torrentially raining we will be running around the school. Please either way...make sure your child is in running shoes...running in boots is dangerous and very uncomfortable. We saw a video on Friday in the gym during assembly about Terry Fox. Terry Fox's goal was to get one dollar from every person in Canada. He of course superceded his goal. We at Bayview are also hoping to get at least one dollar from every person here. If you and your family would like to donate a loonie or more it would be greatly appreciated!
3) Starting this Friday we will also be starting our cooking program. I have done a cooking program with the kids for almost 20 years. The children love it. Besides loving it, it is a fantastic way to get kids interested and even excited about eating healthy food. Kids have the opportunity to create healthy foods that teach children how to cook while learning important math and reading skills as they follow recipes and measure ingredients. This program would not be possible without the support of our cooking parents as well as 20 dollars for cooking supplies. Each child will be responsible for bringing in 20 dollars (cash please). We will use this for buying the healthy cooking ingredients as well as update some of our cooking equipment. The children will cook once every three weeks. First it will be all the grade 2's, then the grade ones, who will be divided into two groups. I have parents lined up to cook and we are all excited to get going. If you have any questions let me know.
With that,
I am done for now...I hope everyone has had a great weekend and are staying healthy!!
Hope you are feeling better Eli L.!!
Enjoy the pictures.
Teri
