Monday, Oct. 1 - Orange Shirt Day
Orange Shirt Day:
This day is to honour the survivors of Canada's Indian Residential Schools. We will be discussing this topic at school this week. We have an orange t-shirt for each student which we will be wearing during the Terry Fox walk (to help us keep track of our students). We will also give them to the students next Monday, unless your child has their own orange shirt they would like to wear on Oct. 1. You can learn more about Orange Shirt Day here: http://www.orangeshirtday.org/
Clothing:
As the weather changes, please ensure your child is dressed appropriated to be outdoors in the chilly mornings. They may start needing thin gloves and hats. Layers are great this time of year!
Library:
We will be borrowing library books each DAY 4. Please click on the Calendar Tab to see which days are our library days. Our next library day will be Monday, Oct. 2. After Thanksgiving, our library day will be on Tuesdays. Please ensure you return your child's library book on time. Some families choose to return it after one or two days (so you don't need to keep track of which day is library day!).
Scholastic Book Orders:
Scholastic book orders were sent home on Friday and are due back by Thursday, September 27th. Order forms will be sent home monthly. When families order books, we earn credit to buy books and materials for the classroom. If you would like to purchase items to give as a gift to your child (i.e. for their birthday), just let me know and we will not give the items directly to your child. If you are interested in ordering books, please consider registering for online Scholastic payments. parentpay.scholastic.ca/pay If you are paying by cheque, you may write 1 cheque even if you are ordering from multiple order forms. Please make cheques payable to Scholastic Canada, and ensure you are paying the correct amount for Ontario (the Ont. column). Thanks!
You are also strongly encouraged to register for online payments for school related expenses (field trips, pizza orders, etc.). ugdsb.schoolcashonline.com/
More nature excitement!
In case you didn't hear about what we saw last week, ask your child about this image (we didn't take this photo, but it shows what we saw!).
