Painting Fall Trees

We had gym where we pretended to walk around the gym like different animals and worked on catching a ball. We read the book "Tree" by Britta Teckentrup and did a guided drawing of a fall tree. We painted the tree trunk and branches with acrylic paint and some of us even got started on painting the leaves with red, orange, yellow, purple, and brown paint and clothespins and cotton balls. We had centres as well. AM students got to share their happiness museum items and PM students visited the playground.
- Ask your child to show you how to use a variety of vertical and diagonal lines to draw a tree.
- Ask your child to describe our Fall Basket poem. 

Important Updates and Reminders:

- Scholastic book orders were sent yesterday. Order online or using the forms included by October 1st.

- We are looking for fake/silk flowers or fake plants for one of our upcoming centres. If you have extras at home that you would like to donate to our classroom, please send them with your child.

- We also need some small metal items (nuts, bolts, screws) for our loose parts collection. If you have extras at home that you would like to donate to our classroom, please send them with your child.
- We will acknowledge Orange Shirt Day on Monday, October 1st. Please wear an orange shirt to help us keep the discussion of residential schools happening each year.

- AM Kindergarten attends this Friday. No school for PM Kindergarten.

- The annual Eric Harvie Terry Fox Run is taking place on Friday, September 28. Please note Friday,
September 28th, is AM Kindergarten. Only AM Kindergarten students will attend this event. PM kindergarten will have their own Terry Fox run on Thursday, September 27th in the afternoon. We are teaming up withTwelve Mile Coulee School and Tuscany School this year. EHS requires 45 course volunteers who will be stationed along the course (with an option of running) and five food volunteers.
Please see the Sign Up Genius for information and to volunteer:
- Snack time happens during centres. This means that it is an option and your child may not choose to eat everyday. Please remember to send one small snack to school that they can quickly eat.

- A reminder that city bylaw states that No Dogs are allowed on school grounds, playgrounds and sports fields. While on a pathway, your dog must be on a leash.

- Please do not cut across the field when bringing afternoon Kindergarten students to school.

We appreciate your help and support!
