Guest Speaker Fun! :)

Good evening, everyone!

We hope everyone had a great day at school and is getting ready to snuggle up and do some reading :) On a super quick note, we had out first lockdown procedure this morning. We described it to students as a very serious game of hide and seek. We learned that sometimes we might not be able to leave the classroom for our safety and that we need to crouch down in a corner together. For the most part, students did a good job and understood that it was a very serious matter that should not be taken lightly. We will be having our second fire drill tomorrow as well :)

I wanted to share this with you because I think it's super exciting :) At the beginning of the year, we asked parents if they would like to/had to opportunity to come in and chat about their occupation or hobby. We were thrilled with the response! While I was chatting with my team, I learned that Mrs. Schmidt's class had some really neat occupations/hobbies as well, so we decided to combine our classes together to hear from everyone- double the fun! I thought I'd share with you some of the fun guest speakers we will be having throughout the school year :)

  • Pet Groomer
  • Soldier
  • Nurse
  • Physiotherapist
  • Social Worker
  • Personal Training & Working Out
  • Crafting
  • Avon
  • Retail Manager
  • Digital Marketing
  • Book Editor
  • Architect 
  • Personal Support Worker
  • Mail Carrier

I think it's going to be a great opportunity to hear from all of these speakers. I know the students will really enjoy it, and maybe we'll even see some of these occupations and hobbies come to life in our learning centres :) Oh! I should also mention that as a Kindergarten team, we just purchased some new dress up clothes using the money we raised last year with our fundraising. We will be sharing these clothes throughout all 4 classrooms :) 

Thank you for your continued support in helping us fundraise. We love being able to buy new and fun things for the students to use.

Have an awesome evening!
