October 13-16

Happy 4 Day week Everyone!

I hope you all had a wonderful, family and fun filled Thanksgiving weekend!! I was very Thankful for the beautiful weather!

We are going to be doing a neat art activity that goes with the story “The Leaf Man” that uses various types, colours and sizes of leaves so your child can bring in a couple of leaves anytime this coming week while the weather is still nice.

I hope that the Homework calendar activities are going well at home. If you have any questions about the homework, please write me a note in your child’s agenda. Homework isn’t due (even if it is all completed early) until the end of the month. Please make sure your child is taking advantage of Raz-Kids

In Language, we continue to use adjectives to describe a variety of things. We are also learning how to write a complete sentence by discussing what that means and looks like. The students are learning reading strategies to help them attack words. So far, they know Stretchy the Snake and Chunky Monkey. Ask them about these. They are very good detectives when finding chunks, endings and word wall words in words they see in various texts.

In Math, we will be practising counting to 100 by 1’s, 2’s, 5’s and 10’sin a variety of ways. Students will explore different ways to show a number (e.g. using pictures, numbers, tallies, words, ten frame etc.) These activities will continue throughout October.

Important Dates:

  • Friday, October 16th - Jersey Day for United Way. Any donations are welcome
  • October 13-30th - We Scare Hunger Food Drive
  • Friday, October 16th - Enviro Assembly 1:30pm
