Looks like monsoons are here! A very quick reminder about sending a dry set of clothes with your child, just in case. We have very big mud puddles on the playground.
I am looking forward to meeting with you during Parent/Teacher Conferences. I am sorry about the short notice for appointment time. If your time doesn’t work for you please call me at the school (250 949 6687) and we can reschedule. This meeting is a time for you to get a picture of how your child is adjusting to Grade 1. This is a time for sharing information and developing ways to support your child at school.
We will also be trying something new. WEDNESDAYS will be litterless lunch day in our classroom. We will try to have one day a week were students have no packaging or garbage in our lunches. Did you know;
- The average school-aged child with a disposable lunch generates 30 kilograms of waste a year.
- One of the easiest ways to reduce garbage in schools is through lunch time.
- To pack a litterless lunch, pack food in reusable containers, pack reusable instead of disposable cutlery, use a refillable drink bottle (instead of drink boxes), and use a cloth napkin instead of paper.
- Also consider buying in bulk instead of buying single-serving foods
