Hopes and Dreams

Students whispered their hope and dream to me.
I wrote it.
The children then illustrated.

We hung them in the hall for all to see!

Did your child mention to you that Officer Dave stopped into our classroom to introduce himself and explain his role at Pond Cove School and in our community? The children asked him lots of good questions. We had a great discussion about safety. Officer Dave strongly recommends that all children learn their parents names and their home address.

Wednesday we celebrated our first class birthday, what fun! 

On your child's birthday they will be the leader of the day! 

We will sing to them at our meeting. Each child will receive a few birthday surprises: a birthday crown, a pencil, a bracelet and a book that they will select. Peers will each illustrate a birthday page that will complete a book for the birthday child to bring home. 

Sharing at our meeting.

Sharing a surprise treat with peers.
There were many smiles & I heard lots of thank yous!  :)
