Grade 1 moving along
We’re nearly through with the third week of classes, and things are shaping up really well. It was really exciting to see all children eager to learn after the school holidays.
Grade 1 Leaders
We are excited to announce our school leaders from Grade 1: Junior Council Representatives, Green Team and Class Captains.
They will be honoured and receive a badge at assembly this Friday, 16th Feb.
Each leader was chosen based on showing responsibility so far and potential for growth. Students who weren’t chosen will be offered different leadership positions within the classroom.
Junior Council Representative: Members will be the voice of students, meeting with other students then communicating results back to the class. These students will also choose fundraising activities, such as crazy hair day or teacher-student contests.
1A: Luis
1B: Aneira
1C: Tilly
1D: Mingbo
Green Team: Members of this group will help lead sustainability efforts throughout the school. They will communicate ways to compost and reduce waste, and promote non-car transportation programs.
1A: Mika
1B: Noah
1C: John
1D: Alby
Class Captains: These students have special roles as ambassadors and liaisons for the school. They will work with school leadership on various tasks and represent the values of the school in welcoming new students and other visitors.
1A: Melina and Stefan
1B: Jaida and Harvey
1C: Amber and Shayan
1D: Ella and Anwar
Mathletics and Literacy Planet passwords
Passwords for Mathletics and Literacy Planet are being sent home this week.
These programs are designed to assist students in reinforcing their learning at home.
If you have any questions about using these programs, please talk to your teacher.
Parent Reps
Parent reps will be notified by this Friday, 16th Feb. If you are interested in becoming a parent rep, please tell one of us by end of the day on Thursday.
Classroom library
As we practice picking a just-right book, and enjoying being a community of readers, we would like your child to bring a favourite book for the class to share..
Please bring in 1 book for our classroom library — LABELLED. These will be returned each term.
(In our first newsletter, we asked for 3, but 1 is fine, and other books can be brought in other terms.)
Class Timetables and Chatterbox Topics are on Compass
Our French Sister School
Following up with a question from our parent information night, we have a sister school in France. Please see Madame for more information.
