September is a very busy month as we are all getting back into our routines at home and school. Please take a moment to have a look at our calendar for this month as we have many activities in our first month of the school year. You can link to the calendar here September Calendar I am looking forward to meeting all our parents at “Meet the Creature BBQ” this month. Those of you who cannot attend, I look forward to meeting you soon.
Birthdays
Birthday's are celebrated in class with our grade two friends. August birthdays are celebrated in September and July birthdays are celebrated in June as "Merry Unbirthdays".
Water bottles
Students are encouraged to bring a water bottle to have at their desk to drink throughout the day. Please ensure that the bottle has a non-spill lid. Students will bring home their water bottles each day to be cleaned an refilled at home.
Gum
Students are allowed to chew sugar-free gum in our classroom. Gum must be kept in their mouths and must be disposed of properly in the garbage. If gum starts to appear under tables or on the floor then we will revisit allowing gum chewing in class. As a class we have discussed that this is a privilege not a right.
Throughout the school year we will come together as a school family to take part in liturgies. Please remember that you are always welcome to join us.

We did our first Making Words lesson this week. We made the seven letter work pockets!
We did some sound friend puzzles to review the consonant P and the short vowel u.
Mr. Berg, our school counsellor and resident magician came to share a story and some magic tricks with us.
Some students who have lace up shoes are having a hard time tying them. If you could practice this at home with your child it would save them a great deal of frustration. Here is a neat video on how to tie your laces quickly.
Communicating
Communication is the key to your child’s success this year. Therefore, if you have any questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to contact me at 998-7777 or lesleyh@eics.ab.ca.
Enjoy a wonderful Labour Day long weekend!
