Bits & Pieces

Purple Calendar for February went home today. Please note the special days this month:

Feb. 9th - Grade 1 Field Trip to Y Stage Theatre

Feb 17th - 21st NO SCHOOL

In Language Arts today we started talking about Fairy Tales. What is a Fairy Tale? See if your child can tell you some important elements of Fairy Tales. We also talked about some of our favourite Fairy Tales. If your child has a Fairy Tale that they would like to share with the class they are welcome to bring it in to school. Please ensure that your child's name is in the book.

In Social Studies we have been learning about Community Helpers. We brainstormed important people in our community and the jobs they do to help us. (ie. police officers, fire fighters, teachers, librarians, doctors, veterinarians, dentists, etc.) Some students also shared the important jobs that their parents do! The students have realized how important everyone's role is in order to maintain a safe and happy community!
