Parent volunteers are welcome starting in November, once all the students have had a chance to settle in to their new routines.

Here are some ways parent volunteers can help in our classroom:

- tidy book centre
- model good listening during O Canada and announcements
- tidy/sort craft centre
- wipe tables after snack/ crafts

- read to a child or small group
- help at the paint centre (help students write names on work, change paper as needed)
- make something at the craft centre
- play with a small group at any of the creative play centres
- model sorting and clean-up skills

- take down dry art, fold and place in student cubbies

- sit with children and participate in lesson
- talk with teachers (questions, coments) about your observations

- tidy dramatic play centre (house)
- tidy collections (toy corner)

- clean paint centre (cover paint, wash paintbrushes)
- empty water table


Here are some ways parent volunteers can help at home:

- make play-dough

Costume Party!

Monday October 31 (Halloween).

Students are encouraged to bring a costume to wear.

We will all wear our costumes to the assembly in the morning. Students may leave their costumes on all day if they are comfortable.

At 1:00 we will have our class party. All parents and family are invited.

It is not necessary to send in or bring class treats. However, if you and your child want to provide Halloween treats for the class, may we suggest non-food items such as pencils, mini-erasers, or stickers. A tray of cut-up fruit or vegetables would also be fun to share.

Please note: There is a student in our class with a nut allergy. Please be sure that any food sent in for sharing does not contain nuts, and has no chance of having been in contact with nuts.
