A note from the teacher

Brown Bags…..
We would like the children to bring items back in the bag that we can sort into color or shape or add to a class mural. I will have an example of items on a board that I have in my brown bag displayed on our board Tuesday. In my brown bag I have a marble, ribbon, a sticker, a photo negative and some scrapbook letters. (These items won’t be returned so make sure they aren’t too valuable.) We will create three murals discussing which art process we want to start with and then add to it. I will group the canvas by the children that come MWF, TH, and afternoon. Each group will get to start a canvas and then we will switch with the other group. So all the groups will add to each canvas! I’m very excited about the process of this.

Chevy’s Fundraiser
Family Fun Night at Chevy’s is this week. Wednesday, February 25th from 11:00 – close. I put flyers in everyone’s boxes. We will receive 20% of the proceeds during this event.

The Hough Parade
The Hough Parade is parade that takes place downtown Vancouver on St. Patrick’s Day. Our school is going to walk in it this year, which I am very pleased with the sense of community and we get to wear our purple shirts. We will release at 11:30 that day so everyone wishing to participate or watch the parade may. We will meet on the corner of McLoughlin & Daniels Streets at 12:00 to check-in. The parade begins at 12:30. The theme is Yes We Can. There will be no afternoon class that day as we will all walk in the parade. Parents will need to accompany their kids if they are walking with our group. You can bring strollers or wagons, maybe even decorated ones!
