Volunteer Request

Hi Families,

I was wondering if anyone might be available to come in next week to help me with some odd jobs around the classroom that includes material preparation, painting and glueing?

Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday morning would be preferred, but I can be flexible :)

Please email me if you're available: krthomas@cbe.ab.ca

Thank you!
Ms Thomas

Letters Home Folder

Hi Families,

Over the next couple of days, please watch for a navy "Letters Home" folder coming home with your child, as they complete the work.

There is a note at the front of the folder explaining the purpose of the writing, what to look for while reading, and how to follow up with your child.

Please look for some anecdotal notes in the top corner of your child's letter, explaining what individual supports and strategies your child used in the writing process.

Your child's folder needs to be returned after you have had time to enjoy it with your child, preferably Monday or Tuesday of the following week.

Enjoy!
Ms Thomas
