Introducing the newest member of the Porto-Mullin Family!

Hi Everyone!
I'd like to introduce you to our little girl! 
Baby Joey is almost 2 weeks old. She was born at 2:45pm on Tuesday, March 29th. Weighing in at 7.6lbs. We are so happy and so grateful that she is healthy. She is a darling little girl, very sweet and so far, pretty easy.

Mom and Dad are doing well. Grandma and Papo are over the moon!

We hope to come visit in May!
;)

Sylvia Porto and Joey Porto Mullin

I hope that you had a lovely break, and some important information about next week.

Dear Purple Room Families,

I hope that you have all had a safe and wonderful March Break!

The warmer weather is on it's way (we hope). Please continue to supply extra socks, pants, gloves as we all know that the rain and puddles come along with spring on its way.

Report Cards: These should have gone home on the Friday before March Break. Please let the office know if you didn't get yours. (SK's only this term). Envelopes are due back this week please.

Friday-No School: Good Friday
Monday March 28th-No School: Easter Monday
Have a lovely Easter Break!



It is with a heavy heart that I am saying goodbye as I was hoping to say it on Thursday in person (my official last day). I will be on a 4 day sick leave and I will not be returning to the Purple room before Easter.

Thank you for your emails and chats. I hope that we can stay in touch. Mrs. Kimberley and I will still be using this blog to update you all on the birth of all of our babies.

In the meantime, Mrs. Spencer will be replacing me for the next 3 months. She will also be making her own blog and that information should be going home in your child's communication book in the near future.

I had an amazing first year at Dr. Charles Best and Mrs. K and I will be back next March!

All the best to you and your little ones. They will surely be missed by me. We will come visit soon and we will post here to let you all know when.



With love, Sylvia ;)

Reptiles will continue past March Break!

This week we are continuing our Reptile Inquiry and we will learn a little more about turtles. If you and your child have any information, books, games, puzzles, google information etc. about turtles (any type), please bring it in by Friday.

Also, on Friday we will be having a games afternoon with our reading buddies. Please have your child choose one or two board games to share with the class. We will set up tables and have a good hour to play. This promotes turn taking and the learning of new rules and games. Please bring those in by Thursday.

Games such as Janga, Snakes and Ladders, Hungry Hippos, Trouble, Candy Land etc.

Thank you,
Mrs. Porto :)
