Sept. 2 - 5 - WELCOME BACK

I am so excited to welcome you to my class this year! I can't wait to see the awesome learning and adventures that you child and myself will embark on. It was a pleasure to meet some of you this morning as well as your child and I'm thankful that they are here. I only ask one thing of your child and that is that they try their best. Please take the time to ask your child what the rules are of the classroom (and they should be able to tell you as I only have two!)

I use this blog as a tool to help keep you informed with upcoming events, learning happening in the classroom and little things that can be done at home to help out the school environment. I do my best to update this blog once a week (every Monday) but I would like to make it a goal this year to add some other posts.

A couple of other pieces of information before I give you the weekly update:

1. Please read and sign your child's agenda. Please do this every day even if there is not a message.
2. Home Reading is a very important component of a child's learning and it starts now!  The expectation is that your child reads for 15 minutes a night. 
3. There is an option to the left to "Follow by Email." If you would like to receive email notifications of when my blog is updated, please sign up.
4. LOGINS - we use a variety of computer programs.  The logins will be posted shortly.
5. Reminder about the 2 shoe rule.  If this is a concern to you, please come and see me. 

Lastly, you can reach me at kristy.nelson@lethsd.ab.ca for any other communications.   

This week at a glance:

Tuesday:

• Welcome to school! 

Wednesday:

• ME Museum project coming home - due next week Monday, Sept. 8.

Thursday

• Recycling will start.  Each grade 4 student will take part this year for 4 or 5 weeks.  I am the supervisor in charge.  This is part of the Grade 4 curriculum and the rewards will go back to the grade 4 classes.  We also bring in a production for the whole school. 

Friday:

• Welcome Back Assembly 8:30 a.m.
• First day of Frolicking Friday - wear appropriate outdoor footwear.

Thank you for leaving your child in my care this year. It is an honour.
