Dear Parents,

This guide is an outline of the program for our class this year. The program reflects Ministry of Education guidelines. I hope that this guide encourages your family to plan outings or select book topics that extend the learning for your child at home. It is my firm belief that families that “play together, stay together”. I look forward to being a part of your child’s learning team :)

If there any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me via email or send a note via your child’s agenda. As well, updates will be posted on our classroom blog.

Merci pour votre support!
