Friday Housekeeping

Picture
At the Open House last week we posted some question suggestions for you to initiate conversations with your child while they were showing you our learning spaces. But school conversations ​often happen at home so we are going to also post them here as a jumping off point for those conversations outside of our classroom. We're sure you will think of many others. Ask your child:
What is easy/ hard about school?
What do you like/ dislike about school?
What are you proud of? 
What are you still working on? 
Which book bin is your favourite? Why?
Which centre is your favourite? Why?
How are you respectful/ responsible/ safe at school?
Can you tell me more about _____?
Tell me about your friends.
Tell me about your classroom jobs.
  • Library books are due back on Tuesday so we can choose new ones.

Of the land that isn’t currently covered by ice on Earth, livestock take up 26 percent of it with another 4 percent dedicated solely to growing livestock feed. That’s 30 percent of potentially habitable land worldwide dedicated solely to animal agriculture! So what if this year, to celebrate Earth Day, we committed to eating a bit less meat?
  • Thank you so much for joining Team Awesome in our learning space this week. If you have any questions or concerns regarding your child, please contact us.
  • We enjoyed Mr. Steve Harmer's Motivational Magic Show this past Thursday with its message of Kindness and Gratitude. Ask Team Awesome about their favourite trick.

Waste Presentation

19/4/2022

 
BEST and Team Awesome welcomed Jaimie Garbutt from the City of Kamloops who gave us a presentation on what happens to waste in Kamloops. We learned about the different kinds of waste collection cans, the landfill, the recycle facility and discussed how to make less garbage. She showed us which types of things should be thrown in the garbage and which should be recycled. We were very happy to each receive a colouring and activity book when Mrs. Garbutt was finished. Thank you Mrs. Garbutt!

Point of Progress Open House

18/4/2022

 
As you know, it is time for another Point of Progress report the week of April 19. We would like to have a bit of an 'Open House' on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons from 2:30-3:30 that week, led by your child. When you pick your child up at 2:40 on Tuesday or Wednesday, check in on the class list then have them show you around our classroom and explain some of the things that are up on the walls and some of our routines. We will have posted some question suggestions for you to ask your child and their activity books will be out for you to look through together. The Team will be thrilled to play tour guide and excited to have you at school. If you have any specific questions for us about your child at that time, please ask. If you are unable to attend we will send you an email with a brief overview of how your child is progressing.
A reminder that all adults entering the building should have completed a Daily Health check.

We look forward to seeing you!
