A note from the teacher

Brown Bags and Class Murals
Wow we got some great stuff in our brown bags!! Make sure you check out the color sorting we did, they are hanging outside the class. I will also take pictures and post them for those of you who can’t make it into the school regularly. What the children didn’t sort out onto our color posters, we let them pick thru and decide what should go on our class murals. The class murals are turning out great, each child has had the opportunity to work on each mural that we’ve created. (If your child was gone this week they can add to the murals and color posters this week) They are creating some colorful and unique works of art!! Which by the way will be up for auction at the school Carnival.

The Carnival
The Carnival is next Thursday March 12th from 5 – 8. This is an inexpensive fun family night. There will be two bounce houses, a treasure dig, fishing game, face painting and a photographer will be there to take your family picture! Dinner will be served from 5-7 and will include hot dog, juice/water, and a cookie. Presale tickets for the meals and games will be on sale March 4th, 5th, and 6th during preschool hours. Presale ticket prices are:
Meals will be $5.00 ($6.00 at the door)
Game tickets 5 for $1.00 (4 for $1.00 at the door)
The bounce houses will be 2 tickets all other games will only be 1 ticket.

We will host the Photography Booth, so I will be asking for volunteers to help with our booth. We have also asked for items for our auction baskets, which are a
Gift Card Basket for the morning class and a Sweet Treat Basket for the afternoon class. We would like to have those items by the 10th at the latest. Thank you all so much for all that you do to make our school wonderful!!

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 . Purple and green go together right ? 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!
