Here's some important information for the next two weeks.
Thursday Sept. 20: No School. There is a professional development day for staff in Deep Cove. No doubt I would much rather be with your kiddies than fight traffic to get to and from North Vancouver. Nonetheless, it will be an important day of team building with the new staff I rarely see now that I'm teaching in the basement!
Monday Sept. 24: I will be away. A Teacher On Call will be covering for me. I am very fortunate to be chosen to be part of the studio audience for Dr. Gordon Neufeld's filming of The Power to Parent (and Teach) Part II. This two day workshop is Sunday and Monday. It will focus on developing emergence and resilience in children. I'll give a little synopsis when I give back. Dr. Neufeld has been working with families for decades and is recently in high demand by lower mainland school districts. More information about Dr. Gordon Neufeld is at http://www.gordonneufeld.com/
The morning class will also start last part of recess without me this week. I've been watching them and they are ready. (Plus, I need to start taking my break!) Michelle will stay with them in addition to our supervision aide Maria. Maria will come for a class visit on Friday, so they know her better before Monday.
Tuesday Sept. 25 and Thursday Sept. 27: School ends at 2:00 p.m. for intake meetings. Hence, Division 15 in the afternoon has an early dismissal of 2:00 p.m. Only parents who missed the first week of meetings or request a special meeting will need to make an appointment with me. In other words, most families have already had their meeting and will not have another one.
That's it for now! Here's some pictures of our children exploring and discovering in the classroom.

That's all for now! Stay tuned for more!
Love Mrs. App
