Introducing: Family Friday

We are excited to invite you into our classroom to see the learning that is taking place.  We will send  a letter home outlining our plans in more detail for our Family Friday in your child’s zippy.

Our first Family Friday will be Friday, March 11th.
We will be opening our classroom doors at 2:00 for families, and asking that

Please feel free to come any time after 2:00 but be mindful that we will need time to get ready for home.  This usually begins at approximately 2:50.

 

During this time our room is fully open, your child may want you to sit in our quiet living room area and read together, they may want to show you the art table where they create, they may want to build with you using a variety of materials, they may want to imagine and create in our dramatic centre, they may want to write with you or play a favourite game.

Some students may want to sit with you and your child as you read/play/create. This is a great opportunity for you to get to know your child’s friends at school.

Please remember we are still teaching/supporting/working with students too, as some families may not be able to attend this date, and therefore, we as educators will be engaged with all students during this Family time.

We are offering the option for older siblings who are available at school to attend with their younger sibling (should a parent/aunt/uncle or grandparent not be able to attend) ** This will be cleared with your child’s teacher prior to this date.
