New Special Helper Routine and Sharing

We are starting our new Sharing and Special Helper routines on Monday.

Each child will be Special Helper for 1 full week (see schedule below) AND that will also be their week to share items with the class - 1 item per day.  Most families have chosen to send all sharing items to school on Monday of their child's week, with the items going home on Friday.  You might choose to send 1 item per day instead.

Sharing gives them the opportunity to talk about the things they love, the characteristics of objects, and have the experience of talking to a group of people.

Please encourage your children to bring things that teach us something about them or teach us something in general.

• Examples would include, pictures of themselves or family, favourite book, a piece of art they created, an award or uniform from special activities, momento from a vacations, collections, and showcasing a talent (ballet moves, instrument they play, etc.).  Some of the most interesting sharing items I have seen over the years included found items like giant leaves, a rock in the shape of a heart, pinecones, shells, and non fiction books - the children LOVE to see this type of thing and it brings about all sorts of incidental learning

Please make a note of your child's sharing/special helper week.
