Parents, here are a few things to know and note as we finish out the month of February:
1. This Friday, February 19th, 2016 (tomorrow) is Dance Day at Rosethorn. Our dance session is from 9:10-9:50am in the gym. Please have your child dress comfortably to be able to move and dance freely.
2.Trip forms are due tomorrow or Monday is necessary. Thank you to all those parents who were prompt in getting me the form and money today, I appreciate that. Please note this payment includes the cost of the parent volunteers joining us. These volunteers are: Dino Basic (Luka's dad), Ornela Bardhosh (Mia's mom), Marianne Galberg (Sophie's mom), and Jill Zandvliet Grimm (Keagan's mom). Please note that a preparation checklist will be sent home next week so that you may have your child ready for this trip.
3. Next Wednesday February 24th is our Kiwanis competition/ concert. Children are asked to be dressed in black bottoms and a white top. This day is also Pink Day in support of stopping bullying. As I am encouraging the children to wear pink in support of this cause, please pack them something to change into for the afternoon or pink accessories will do as well.
4. Another note about homework. Please know all homework is strictly extra work. I do not mark the work they do at home. If it is for Show and tell I am marking the presentation and oral skills only not the creation or work. Please ensure your child is using pencil on all their work so if mistakes are made they can make the edits required. Also I do wish for the majority of work to be done independently unless otherwise noted, however instructions can be read together and parents should review the work the child has done and discuss corrections or ask questions about their child's work. Please remember the poem should be read by your child to an adult or older sibling without assistance as we work on and read through these poems every day of the week. Encourage your child to use their reading strategies such as sounding out, breaking up the word, rereading, etc.
That is all for this week! Have a fantastic weekend everyone!
Ms. Guenther
