I have to apologize, I had the write in their planners that skating tonight was FREE, but in fact it’s a Twoonie Skate ($2). Sorry for the confusion.

The class will be taking part in our first walking field trip to Cheslakees to spend a portion of the afternoon with our Kindergarten buddies. Every Friday afternoon (weather permitting) we will alternate walking with the K’s. We will be buddy reading and also helping the K’s complete some other writing and Art projects. We will also be spending time outside playing and exploring with our little buddies.

Please dress for walking in the rain. We will go unless the rain is coming down sideways and heavy. We will go if it’s a light rain.

Complete the question pages for the story handout “The Garden.” Due Friday.

This Sunday there will be a very rare full lunar eclipse with a Blood Moon. I will review what a Blood Moon is with the students Thursday afternoon and remind them to watch for it in their planners. The eclipse will start around 7 pm and end just before 9:30 pm. I really hope the skies are clear Sunday night!!!!

We’re trying something different this year, the school is hosting a Meet the Teacher Morning with Coffee & Muffins! It will run from 8:15 am – 8:45 am on Thursday, September 24th.

This will not be a time to discuss individual students, but I will talk about schedules, class routines and our class website.
