- “Hedgie” Heads North!
Parents and friends…exciting news! We are presently in tenth place out of 13,000 schools! Thank you for voting for “us” and please continue to support our quest to bring beloved Children’s Author/Illustrator, Jan Brett, to our school. Let’s continue to vote! You are an amazing and supportive force and our children appreciate your efforts! Thank you!

Which Jan Brett book is your favourite? (My favourite Jan Brett book is, The Three Little Dassies! Last year’s Grade One classes donated, The Three Little Dassies, to Project South Africa. Our donated book was placed in a school’s library. We know that the children will enjoy the story as much as we did/ do!)
Folk Dancing, Valentine’s Day, and Flag Day
We are very busy in Grade One! We have been practicing our folk dances and will “celebrate” at the school’s dance event- February 14th, Valentine’s Day! As well, we will be making Valentine holders to place our “friendship” valentines into. On February 16th (Flag Day is actually recognized in Canada on Feb.15) we will celebrate Flag Day– Heritage Day. This is a wonderful opportunity for families to share their heritage, customs, and culture with us. Remember to wear red and white on February the 16th, the colours of our Maple Leaf flag! The Grade Ones are learning a song, Let’s Wave and Say Hello (tune- Farmer in the Dell). We can say “hello” in several languages, already!
Let’s wave and say hello, Let’s wave and say hello, Let’s say hello to all our friends, Let’s wave and say hello!
How do you say hello in your language? Chinese– ni hao ( nee how), Iranian/Faarsi-shalom, French– bonjour, Italian- ciao (chow), Spanish– hola, Russian– prevet, Philippines/Tagalog-Kumustaka, Korean– Ahn Nyong ( un yong), Albanian– C’Kemi … Listen to us sing!
