Art in the Garden with Quentin Harris

Thanks to all who paid the $20 school fee!  

I have reduced the upcoming swimming/skating field trip Fri., Dec. 9th by $3 per child, so it will cost $15 instead of $18.   

Permission forms are going home next week, parent volunteers are needed.

Scholastic orders are due next week, but there is also the book fair next week - whatever you choose is fine with me!  I will be placing another order of books for our class that our students have chosen. 

Please send in COUNTRY GROCER reciepts, it makes a huge difference to our budget.

Thanks for all your support!

Heidi :)

P.S. There is a work party in our garden again this Sunday 1-4, unfortunately I am not able to attend this one but please come for a bit if you can!  I have also made 'sit-upons' for our class for them to sit on while they read in the garden :)

P.P.S. Tuesday is pyjama day!

Scholastic, Country Grocer & Upcoming Dates

Thank you to all who brought in the $20 school fee 

Scholastic:

I know there are pros and cons for Scholastic, but in my experience, the pros FAR outweigh the cons.  Scholastic provides SO many points and rewards, I would not be able to keep the shelves stocked with new books without it!  The main 'con' is that not all students are able to buy books, and so, to accommodate for that, I have the students go through the catalogues in class and write down their 'top 3 picks'.  From the October catalogues, I bought over $50 of books chosen by the students, who are now enjoying reading them today 

Here is an easy way to pay and order online if you prefer:

Country Grocer:

We are now collecting receipts from Country Grocer to go towards class funds.  If you would like to donate your receipts to the classroom, please start sending them in with your child 

Thank you for your ongoing support!
