Thank you to all the parents/guardians/families who were able to attend last night's Open House.

For the Open House, the children each wrote a letter suggesting ways you could help them do well in school this year.  The letters were left on their desks along with a blank letter for your written response. If you were unable to attend last night, the letter your child wrote to you and the blank for your response are coming home tonight.  Please read the letter written to you, write a response, and place them both back in your child's agenda pocket for tomorrow.  Thank you!

Happy Friday to all!

I don't usually do a Friday post as I don't regularly assign homework on the weekend.

Weekends are a great time to get caught up on anything that has fallen behind during the week!

This is also a reminder that school will not be in session on Monday, September 24, as it is a Professional Development Day for staff.

Have a great weekend!

The class has been working on their beliefs and this is what they have decided on:

Aberdeen’s #1 Class -

Division 2 believes in...

Always Being the BEST that YOU Can Be

And NEVER Giving Up!

Always Accepting Differences and

Treating Others the Way YOU Want To Be Treated!

If someone looks like they need a friend...BE ONE!

If someone is sad,

SHARE

Your SMILE!

Always being Respectful and Responsible with Self, Others and Property!

And

NO BULLYING ALLOWED!!

They liked the class beliefs from last year and worked with them to made them their own 

Each class member has signed the list of beliefs to show they helped create the list and agrees to observe the beliefs - the list with signatures will be posted on our class door 

WELL DONE!
