Amazing performance
today at The Terry Fox Run!!! Way to go Gr. 1’s. It was great seeing those who
attended the fall fun fair!
We would like to
welcome Ms. Barley. She has been in most of this week and starts full time with
us next week. We are so excited and lucky to have her here at Royal Oak.
Ask me about: How
many laps did you run today?
Circle of Courage:
Each week one student
per class will bring home a sheet of paper describing the circle of courage. We
ask that on Friday of your child’s week that he or she brings in something that
shows one of the following sections of the circle: Independence, Mastery,
Belonging, and Generosity. See below for
what the letter will look like.
Next week it is Lucas in Mrs. Daniels’
room and Mishel in
Ms. Barley’s room.
Circle of Courage Spotlight
Congratulations, your child has
been chosen to be our Circle
of Courage student. Your
child will have the opportunity to share more about themselves and how they
show the four quadrants of the Circle of Courage to help build a caring
classroom. Your
child will present on THURSDAY
OCTOBER 6TH
Once our Circle of Courage student is
announced the student will
have a week
until their
presentation date to collect the
following items to share with the class.
Independence
·
An artifact your
child is proud of and demonstrates independence. i.e. piece
of art, writing, project, or video of dance
Mastery
·
An artifact that
demonstrates a skill or activity
your child has mastered. i.e. medals, awards, and certificates
Belonging
·
Photograph (no more than 3) that shows belonging, i.e. Family
photo, playing with others, family vacation, sports team, class photo.
Generosity
·
Family Letter: Family
members will be
responsible for writing a letter to the class telling us how special your child
is to you. Send the letter in a sealed envelope to the school
with your child on
the presentation date your child is sharing. I will
read the letter to the class during
our circle meetings. The content of the letter is up to you, but you may wish
to choose from one of the following ideas: Describe special or funny stories
about your child for the class to hear, tell us some interesting facts (no
more then 3) we may
not know about your child, send silly or special pictures with a letter
describing the picture, or write a short story with your child as the main
character. You may also send a video for the class to watch if you choose.
After
your child has had the opportunity to share, his or her classmates will
recognize your child as our Circle
of Courage student of the
day by writing about how they see
your child demonstrating one of the four quadrants on the Circle of Courage. We appreciate
your participation in our Circle
of Courage Spotlight and
look forward to getting to know your child better and build a caring classroom
community!
