This year we are enthusiastically introducing a new character development Program called “Bucket Filling”
Bucket filling is an easy-to-understand concept: taken from the children’s book by Carol McCloud entitled,
Have You Filled a Bucket Today?
Everyone carries an invisible bucket that holds our good thoughts and feelings. When our buckets are full, we feel happy and when our buckets are empty, we feel sad. Occasionally we need to cover our bucket with a lid to keep others from dipping into it.
Children quickly understand that they can fill buckets when they do and say things that are kind, considerate, caring, and respectful. They also learn that when they are mean, inconsiderate, uncaring, or disrespectful, they dip into buckets and remove those good feelings. Even the youngest child understands that actions and words can either fill a bucket or dip into it.

Dear Parents,
I know a lot of you decided to keep your child home from the weather.
We read this book today in class and talked about the 5W's (who, what, when, where, why and how) and also discussed our favourite part by writing a short explanation.
Try and do this at home.

Wednesday we are having our Halloween Celebration with various math and language Halloween activities. It is up to you and your child if they want to wear a costume to school. We will also be watching the kindergarten students do their Halloween parade in the morning and afternoon. You may want to send the costume with your child to change-in. Our small celebration will be in the afternoon.
If you want to send treats with your child – please feel free to do so. Just please note: NO NUTS J I will also be sending home a small treat bag with your child at the end of the day. Students must show you their treats from me and have your approval if they can eat it. J You are more than welcomed to send a snack for your child to enjoy during our celebration.

Nurses Visit #3 - How to dress for WINTER!
Nurses Visit #3
“The Importance of Dressing Properly for Winter: Some Tips on Staying Warm When it Starts to Get Cold”
The nurses will be visiting us on October 25th!
Dear Parents,
It's important we have nurse visits in our classroom. Students get to see a nurse and listen to their helpful advice. They are our community helper, who look out for our best interest in health and safety!
I hope you ask your child what they learned after school on October 25th.
Have a happy day!
Thank you for your support parents!
