Good afternoon!

It was a wonderful day today being back at SJA and seeing all the old and new faces of the 2011/12 school year.  We had a great day in our class today.  It really seemed to rush by, as a lot of things needed to be sorted out.  We had a great time discussing and reflecting on our summer vacations and we got to share and chat as a class to get to know each other better which was great.  The children also went to a quick french class today.  At the end of the day we had a school-wide house game that allowed each of the three houses at SJA to compete against each other for house points.

Homework:  Read for 15 minutes.

Important information:  We do have reading tracking sheets, home folders and agendas that will be coming home with your child every night starting tomorrow.  Please keep your eye out for them.

In the morning at drop off time, your child can change their shoes and drop off their bags and coats in the gym from now on.  This system will begin tomorrow morning. 

Please see Mme. Stella's blog about doutangs she needs for french class.  She is requesting each student bring in 6 red duotangs that have metal folding tabs to secure the pages.

Looking forward to a great school year,

Mrs. Nelson
