Thank you everyone for coming to our goal setting conferences last week. I loved getting to sit down with you all to hear about the students' goals and make a plan for how we all can help them. I will be able to start implementing the plans this week coming up.

I have a bunch of tidbits of information for you, so please make sure to read everything.

- Next Friday, on Halloween, we will be visiting Holy Family Hospital to sing and do some other Halloween activities. We will be visiting with our buddy class (Mme Nadja's K/1 class). I would love to have a few parents that can walk with us to the hospital. We would be leaving school at 11:05am and returning before 12 noon. If you can walk with us, please write a note in your child's agenda.

- This weekend's homework for students is to familiarize themselves with some songs we may sing on Friday. We spoke about how we will sing songs that are an appropriate level for our buddy class, so they may seem a little "bébé". The songs are: C'est l'Halloween and La Chanson des Squelettes. There is also a song package that you can find here. This is a package of songs and poems that I have put together. Please take the time to read them through to familiarize your child with them.

*In the package, when it says 'air de', that means 'to the tune of' and 'bis' means 'repeat'.

- We will be starting our listening centre soon. I ask that you please send a set of headphones in a labeled, ziplock bag to school with your child, so that each has their own headphones to use (I do this to eliminate any sharing of bugs that might be in hair). If you don't have a pair at home, headphones can be bought at the dollar store for quite cheap!

Have a wonderful long weekend!
