Ah Friday!!!!

It seemed like that work week just flew by... oh right. I was only there one day. I have to say I haven't been that sick in years.  Three days on the couch and I couldn't move without wanting to sleep. 

Today was a rush. We started with a visit from our friendly neighbourhood firemen.  We love it when the Wilton Britannia Firemen come to visit.  They are all such good sports. 
We learned about smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, STOP DROP AND ROLL and how to use 911.  They suggested that all families make and practise a fire escape plan and that your land location or address is available for all to see in case of emergencies.  One thing that I like is that they always dress up as "real firefighters" and show the kids that is not something to be scared of in case they were ever in a fire. 
I will try to add pictures later when I get back to school as they are on the school network....

I am sorry for not sending a note home.  My computer is not helpful and does not play with the rules so I can often not print when I need to.  Any time that I do not send home a note, please look here and I will try to post. 

Please remember to send your child in clothes appropriate for the fall season.  Some of the child have come to school in only a thin bunnyhug and are cold before the recess has hardly started.  I swear that there is an Arctic iceberg just over the hill when the wind starts blowing so it can get very cold out there.  A pair of mitts would help too (please label them clearly as one pair of black mitts look just like another to a five year old.)

I will be gone Thursday and Friday next week as I am the cochair of the Saskatchewan Early Childhood Educators Conference in Saskatoon so I will be at school Monday to Wednesday.  Please feel free to call or email or text if you have any questions before I go. 

We will have a Halloween party on Oct. 28 in the pm.  We typically have a party where we dress up and tour the school and then play some games and share some healthy(and unhealthy) treats.  Parents are welcome to join us if you like and little siblings can come if they would like.  I will send a real note next week. 
Have a great weekend.
