You child should have brought home a home reading log today. What should your child read? Hopefully, something enjoyable but also "just right". This means challenging and engaging choices but not material that requires frequent prompts and frustration for the reader. We can work out appropriate books brought from the school that will work for the reader.
Most forms have been returned regarding our field trip to Cusheon Cove next week. Thank you!
We are having a pre-session with our Conservancy coordinator on Thursday. Also this week:
• Bus safety on Tuesday before lunch play
• Making dried apple monsters Tuesday afternoon
• Wednesday early dismissal (11:30) There are still sign up times for Wednesday afternoon but we can also work out other times to meet
We are starting to make characters out of dried apples for a puppet play. This will be part of an integrated unit which will dramatize the Magna Carta! (in time for Hallowe'en)
Please check out the Fulford School newsletter for other school information.
Also, it looks like the kids are bringing excellent big snacks and lunches. Candy and pop are discouraged as part of regular lunches and snacks.
Thanks!

Welcome to a new school year! Our class is grades 3 and 4 and we have 21 students.

Please return all appropriate forms that come your way and also the student fee is greatly appreciated.
Some important dates coming up:
• Sept. 23 - early dismissal 11:30 (sign up sheet in class or contact school for appointment)
• Sept. 29 - field trip to Cusheon Cove (permission slips to be sent out on Wed. Sept 16)
• Sept. 21 - start of Home Reading Program
My email is lmacqueen@sd64.bc.ca, home phone is 250-653-2018. I hope to see you on the 23rd but you can pop by the school or we can arrange other times if you want to meet.
I hope to update this blog weekly or as necessary.
It's been a great start!
