We have been counting down the sleeps until we go skating (Wednesday, Jan. 21 10:15 at McArthur Island and Jan. 28 10:45 at Brock Arena) and most of the kids are excited but some are a bit anxious because they don't know how to skate. We will discuss all the things we can't do when we start kindergarten and how well we do them now because of all the practicing we have done and how its the same with skating. We will remind the kids to bring their helmets and skates, snowpants and mittens (but not hockey sticks) and that there might still be a few pairs of skates available if they don't have any. Unfortunately the school does not have extra helmets and the children must bring their own- they will not be permitted to skate without a helmet. We will have the kids put their skates into their backpacks to travel on the bus because they must be in a bag. We should be at the arena shortly before our ice time if you are coming to join us (Yay!). We will be assigned a changing room where we will put on our skates and leave our things. Our ice time starts at 10:15/ 10:45. The children will be encouraged to stay on the ice as long as possible as there is nothing for them to do once they are finished. They may sit on the bench and wait for us to finish but they may not run around or go on the bleachers. Mrs. Bowden will not be on skates but helping the children off the ice and Mrs. Farber will be skating. Please, if you are a skater, by all means bring your skates and helmet. Looking forward to seeing you at the arena!
