Welcome Back 2019-20

Welcome back everyone! I'm so excited about this school year. I know we will have a lot of fun and learn a lot from each other this year. 

Please take a minute or two to fill out the online questionnaire about your child. This information will help me get to know a little bit more about them.

If you ever need to contact me directly, please call the school 204 734 4593, or email kcarter@svsd.ca or use the Remind app for our class. *info on how to sign up will be sent home the first day of school.

This blog is a great way to share with families a little of what we are doing at school. There will be activities to try at home as an extension of lessons taught at school, pictures of activities and information for families, so I hope you check here often!

Open House is Wednesday, September 4th from 6-7 PM and school starts the very next day!

Bubble Gum Brain

Did your kids come home telling you they had bubble gum at school? They are telling you the truth! 

This is why....

Bullying Presentation

Thanks Mrs. Haggerty for coming to our classroom today to talk to us about bullying. Today was a good reminder to treat others with kindness and compassion. Here are some videos to help you discuss this very important message with your kiddos at home.

Show and Share December Book Share

What is your favourite book? In December, for show and share time, students will be presenting their favourite book! A calendar will be sent home with presentation dates and an information sheet for students to fill out (with family support). This also begins our Guest Reader time where students take turns reading to the class.

On your child's scheduled day, please send
1) the favourite book and
2) the information sheet (completed).

It would help if your child practiced reading the book out loud before they share it with the class.

I am looking forward to this activity! Please contact me if your child can not present on the given date. Family members are welcome to attend our show and share time.

Thank you for listening to your child read at home!
