Thank You!
Thank you to Mrs. Murray, who came in to volunteer in the class today.  I appreciate her time and efforts in assisting our class in running smoothly.

I appreciate the time and volunteerism of all families.  If you are interested in assisting in the classroom, I will be sending information home in the near future.  Thank you for allowing me time to discover your child and see how parent support can help our class room!

Happy Birthday to Benjamin, who celebrated his 7th birthday today!  What a great way to start our year together.   We hope that you had an excellent day today, Benjamin!

Assembly Performance
Today the Grade 2 class performed a song at our first assembly of the year!  The song that the students performed included a Swahili word of encouragement that roughly means "Let's do it!".  Thanks to the class for kick starting our year in such a positive way!   Kudos goes out the Mrs. MacPherson who enabled this presentation with limited preparation time!
