We hope many of you had the chance to connect at the All School Picnic Friday night.
Here's what to expect and here are a few requests for the last week:
- Please have your child bring 2-3 books to enjoy or the remainder of the week. We have had to pack up most of our books in the classroom :( so it would be wonderful if your child could bring in a couple of books to read during our silent reading time in the afternoon.
- Como Pool on Wednesday! Please help your child remember to bring the following: backpack, walking shoes, swimsuit, towel, sunscreen, packed lunch, and water bottle. They may also bring goggles or a life jacket (they will also supply life jackets at the pool). Please do not send pool toys or money.
- Clean up day on Thursday. The children will be helping with clean up around the room and they will be bringing home all of their work on Thursday. If you can, please send in an extra bag, just in case. We will be spending the afternoon at the park on this day.
- Noon Dismissal on Friday! Can you believe this is only 4 days away!? Please do not send a backpack or lunch on this day. They will be dismissed right from the ceremony. The children will be gathering and dismissed from a designated spot (in our recess area), after the ceremony, so please come and pick up your child from this area if you are joining us for the ceremony.
Wishing you all the best and more,

"The child's development follows a path of successive stages of independence, and our knowledge of this must guide us in our behavior towards him. We have to help the child to act, will and think for himself. This is the art of serving the spirit, an art which can be practiced to perfection only when working among children." (The Absorbent Mind).
