Last week was a very short week so it went by in a blurr! We are gearing up for Hallowe’en so it should be a very busy couple of weeks.
Reminder our scheduled field trip to the Helen Schuler Coulee Centre had to be rescheduled until the afternoon of November 30. Sorry for any inconvenience.
In addition to working on various Hallowe’en activities, we will be partnering with parents to carve pumpkins on Friday October 27th. We have 9 pumpkins so we will break students up into small groups of one parent and two or three students per pumpkin. Extra parents and any volunteers will circulate to help with carving, design ideas and separating the seeds for me to bake on the weekend. We will begin about 9:50ish am and should be finished in time to send students back to class for lunch.
I jumped the gun with Hallowe'en information last week. The administration has decided that students will not be changing into costumes until afternoon recess (2:15ish). After changing, they will head off to the parade in the gym. After the parade we will gather in our classroom for a party with snacks. Sorry for any confusion on times!
Our room rep Lara has contacted a few of you to ask you to send healthy treats for our very short party after the costume parade. We will probably only have about 30 min. to eat and watch a short video Thanks to Lara for her hard work and to the parents who are helping with carving or bringing snacks!
We have a buddy grade one class at FLVT this year. We will be writing short notes and make into a book we will send to them on Friday. We will be sending them treats as well. We will make our buddies 4 to 5 books this year as we become better writers.
We are very excited to continue the Walking With Words series. We have contacted a number of "local Celebrities" and have asked them to come and read their favourite childhood book to participating grade 1 - 3 classes. Afterwards, students will be encouraged to ask questions. If you have any suggestions for possible readers please let me know. Our second session is this Friday October 20th.
Thank you for all of the practicing of spelling words you have been doing at home. It has been making a positive difference in both student confidence and performance!
