Welcome back to school and welcome to your new
Grade 1 classrooms!! What a fun and exciting first day we had!
We are happy to be team teaching with each other
this school year.
Ms. Grace Mui has returned to Panorama Hills
School, having taught Kindergarten for the last two years! She previously
taught Grade 1/2 in 2013 at Beddington Heights elementary school. From
2011-2012 she taught Gr. 1 at Panorama Hills School. She is excited to be
back teaching Gr. 1 and is enjoying seeing some familiar faces from last year.
Mrs. Shannon Daniels is also returning to Panorama
Hills School having taught Gr. 1 last year, but under a different name... Ms.
Beechey. She recently got married over the summer and is now using her
married name. She is ecstatic to be back and loves teaching Gr. 1.
Highlights
Today we read the story First Day Jitters.
We shared together that many of us were nervous, scared, excited, happy,
or sad, coming into the first day of Grade 1, even the teachers ;). We
did a writing activity about our "first day jitters."
Also, we had a tour of the school so we know where
the bathrooms, gymnasium, music room, office, and Learning Commons (library)
are. We ate our first lunch in the gymnasium, and had our first lunch and
afternoon recesses in the "big" field and playground.
Homework
Students will be receiving their purple homework
folders tomorrow. These are to be returned to school every day. Please
check the folders daily for notices, important information, and homework.
Reminders
Bring a healthy snack (Fruits and veggies, cheese
and crackers. No cookies, rice krispie squares, cake, cupcakes, anything
with chocolate in them, popcorn, etc. please. Please also refrain from
bringing food with peanuts or nuts in them, as we are a peanut-aware school,
and there are many children in our school who are severely allergic to
peanuts/nuts. Thank you.), an appropriate sized lunch, and a water
bottle.
*** Every student needs a pair of indoor shoes to
change into and leave at school (please label your child's shoes.)
*** Friday is early dismissal. Don't forget
to pick your child up on time, at 1:45 pm!
