Our first field trip was a huge success, due in part to our amazing volunteers. We could not have such fun, engaging, meaningful experiences without you. Thanks!!
LRD is still raising money for the Love of Reading campaign. Please see the posts below for more information and to donate. The more money we raise, the more books we can buy for our school library.

Thursday was our Terry Fox walk. Thank you to all students and grownups who donated money to that amazing cause. Our class watched a video about Terry Fox, read the book "Terry Fox and Me" and talked about why he was a hero. It is amazing to see their level of understanding increase every year and solidify their knowledge about why we think of Terry Fox as brave and determined. They wrote about why Terry Fox was a hero to them, looked at a map of Canada to see where he ran, and then the whole school went outside for our Terry Fox walk/run.
This Monday is picture day. Students need to be in full formal uniform to be in our class picture. THIS INCLUDES BLACK SHOES. If you have not sent in black indoor shoes for your child, they need to be in on Monday. This was an expectation for the first day of school and there is no reason not to have them yet.
Tuesday we will have our IN-SCHOOL field trip- Teacher's Pet. Students will learn all about Acadian culture and traditions, which ties into our social studies unit. If you are available in the morning to volunteer for this, please email me as soon as possible.
This week we will be learning about Orange Shirt Day, and the day for Truth and Reconciliation. Students will consider what those words mean, why we learn about it, and what steps they can take in reconciliation. We will use picture books, videos, and discussions to learn about Residential Schools, culture and traditions. In acknowledgement of this day, students are invited to wear an orange shirt and casual bottoms on Wednesday.
Truth and Reconciliation day is celebrated across Canada on September 30th. It is a federal holiday, therefore there is NO SCHOOL on THURSDAY. Students are expected to be back at school on Friday, October 1st.
Homework is due on Friday, Oct. 1st. Please make sure your child is completing all of the homework for their assigned colour. Please email if you have questions or if anything is unclear.
