Our first two days back at school came and went in a whirlwind as we met new classmates and also said hello via Google Meet to a couple classmates who aren't able to join us quite yet. To get to know each other better, we had fun playing a game called Two Truths and a Lie. Students took turns telling three things about themselves, with one of the things being a lie. Then the other students and I voted on which one we thought was the lie. Lucas emerged as the champion as he was able to fool everyone, even me with his lie!
We also spent some time talking and writing about our summer holidays and began working on creating self-portraits in art.
Although the new routines and social distancing protocol does take a bit of getting used to, the students have been really cooperative.
Important Notice: Nut Free Classroom
As we have a student that is highly allergic to peanuts in our class, I have declared our classroom a NUT FREE room. As a precaution, I would like to request that students refrain from bringing anything containing nuts with them for lunch or snack! Thank you all for your cooperation in advance. As someone who regularly has peanut butter and jam sandwiches, I will also be making a sacrifice, but that is a small price to pay to ensure the safety of the students.
Swimming on Monday
The Grade 3 and 4 classes will have their first swimming lesson of the term this Monday, August 24th in the afternoon. Please refer to the letter from the PE teacher, Mr. Waite for details.
PTA Representative
If anyone is interested in being our Class Representative and Deputy Representative for the PTA please let me know before this Friday, otherwise we will have to draw names lottery-style during our parent night session! The Class Representative is the liaison between our classroom and the PTA and would attend the 1-hour, monthly meetings. If they were not able to attend a meeting, they would then call on the Deputy Representative to fill-in.
Class Schedule
The class schedule was sent home this week and I have also updated the link on this site.
