Friday the 13th!!

Next week in Div. 13 will be another busy week.  Please note these dates...

Library on Monday instead of Tuesday this week; please return any library books on Monday morning.

Tuesday is our Skating field trip!  Students must be signed up on the parent portal, bring BOOSTERS and MONEY on Monday if they are renting skates or helmets. Thanks to the parents who have volunteered to drive; Gavin, Olivia, Aurora, Massimo, and August plus those parents who are just driving their own child.  Please be sure to tell me if you are planning to join us (to drive just your child) because while planning the trip I need to know organize drivers for the whole class. Students that do not have their booster seat, will not be able to attend the skating field trip.  Children are to use booster seats that they bring home, due to legal issues we cannot use any extra booster seats that may be in our volunteer driver’s vehicles.   Booster InformationChild car seats (icbc.com)

Tuesday is the Intermediate Cross Country Race and Wednesday is the Primary Race.

#1 CANADIAN POSTERS DUE asap (ideally Monday or Tuesday) as our IDENTITY DAY is on  Thursday.  In the morning we will be visiting other classrooms to see their projects and then in the afternoon parents are invited to come into our classroom to see Div. 13's posters from 1:45-2:15.       Please remember to have your child's first and last name on the poster and include photos, or even drawn pictures of family, when they were younger, sports/hobbies, pets, heritage/cultural background (for example if your dad was from Italy you might draw an Italian flag), favourite foods (eg) maybe a pic of pasta).  The students that have already brought theirs in are all so different but all great!   Please talk to your child also about what they will say about their pictures and themself.  

Friday is the Provincial Pro D day so no school for students.

Did you know that Oct. 8 - Oct. 14th is Fire Safety week?  We have read a couple books, watch a video, learning and discussing about what we should do in case of a fire. We have already had several fire drills at school including one today.  We talked about the importance of knowing their home address and to have a family meeting spot.  For homework this week I've asked the students to learn their addresses and read over and discuss The Dragon's Fire-Safety Rhyme in their poetry duo tang.  Fire safety is something that can never be reviewed enough.   I had this already to go yesterday but didn't get a chance to post til this morning after walking my dog near the devastating school fire in Port Coquitlam.  This reinforces fire safety and being so grateful for Fairview.
