Note Home



Dear Parents and Caregivers,

Hello. Just an update on some of the activities that will be happening in term two.
We will be doing some woodworking that will involve using tool such as: hand saws, hammers, clamps, sandpaper, mitre boxes, measuring tapes, screws, nails, glue, screwdrivers and pliers. I have many tools, but if caregivers would like to supply students with their own set of some basic tools (with names or initials) and a toolbox of some kind to keep them in, that would be handy.

Also, a note will be sent home regarding Fresh Grade. Essentially, this is a program or app that can be used to share pictures, documents and comments regarding your child’s activities and progress during the school day. I have been using a class blog for four years and this is a sort of upgrade in that regard. It is “social media” in a sense but only authorized users will be able to access through their email.

Wednesdays will be “Homework Night.” during term two and students will have a small math or language arts assignment that will be due on Thursday morning.


Mr. Pond
