The last week of September consisted of beautiful but windy weather
and tons of excitement over the new playground. We had the first Parent Council
hot lunch on Wednesday and the Terry Fox run on Thursday. We couldn't have
asked for better student awareness and participation.
The grade four reading buddies paired up with the grade ones on
Wednesday. In addition to reading with them, they also helped their buddy
practice the October spelling words.
This week we will
focus on Thanksgiving words and activities. Please remember to have your child
check out Raz-Kids online leveled readers. It’s a great way for students to
engage in reading at their "just right" level.
In
Health class we are learning about Physical changes. If possible, I
would like your child to bring one of their baby pictures before Wednesday. The
class will be trying to guess who each baby is. After we have some fun with
that, we will brainstorm the many ways they have changed since they were
babies. Thank you in advance.
Consent forms will be
coming home this week for our fieldtrip to Helen Schuler on October 8th. Please
send forms back as soon as possible as students must have written
permission to participate. Also, we will need 4 to 5 parent supervisors in
order to meet the adult/children ratio required for fieldtrips.
Things to remember this week:
- Oct 4 - first spelling test - see October words for test #1 list
If possible,
please help your child practice the spelling words a few times before Friday.
