I hope everyone had a great Halloween, stayed safe, and tried not to eat tooooooooooo many treats!! We had a great Friday at school, starting with a Halloween assembly, a halloween parade, some Halloween buddy activities and then treats...treats from Maggie for her birthday, treats for Ayana and Joana to help start off the candy eating extravaganza. With that, is my segue into saying that I am asking that no treats such as candy, chips, chocolates (unless for the teacher...hahah), or pop are brought to class for lunch or recess. They have had the weekend to consume their candy so I am asking that while at school they eat their healthy five food group options and then have their treats at home. Home baked cookies, granola bars, fruit leather, fruit snacks are just fine for recess and lunch. Thank you for supporting us in keeping our bodies healthy and thus allow us to learn in the classroom without candy stimulation.
If you are wanting something to do with your excess candy and treats Division 12 (our class) is sponsoring a candy drive. Any surplus candy can be donated to the big box in the classroom, or the office and later this week I will take it to the Homeless shelter in North Vancouver. The residents there love and appreciate the candy and treats that we bring them. I will have the box there on Monday waiting for treats. My niece and nephew have contributed a bit to start the ball rolling.
This last week we looked at pumpkins, did pumpkin writing and pumpkin baking. We will continue to do a little bit more on pumpkins and then start on our Remembrance Day writing and thinking. I am looking forward to Jo (Casper's mom) who will come in next Thursday to do a presentation on Remembrance Day. She will show some pictures from when her dad's family as well as talk about what life was like for him back then. Starting in two weeks we will begin our mini unit on Bats. Our volunteer on Fridays (Sarah) will be starting a little drama unit with them which will be all about bats. This will be so much fun!
Also coming in to do a little presentation will be Vibodh's family. They celebrate Diwali and they would like to share it with our class. We are very lucky to have so many people who want to share their passion with our class. Feel free to let me know if you have something you would like to share with us as well!
With that, I look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow.
Enjoy the pictures.
