October 26-30

Hello Parents,

We have a very exciting week ahead! This is our last week for our We Scare Hunger Food Drive and we are almost at our class goal of 100 food items! Only 15 more to go! The top 2 classes get to duck tape the Principal and Vice-Principal to the wall! Oh what fun that would be! My class came in 3rd last year so I am hoping we can come into the top 2!!! 

Also, if we reach our goal the class gets a pyjama and bring your stuffy day! We also have our Dance-a-thon on Friday. 

***On Friday children are allowed to wear costumes but no masks, no swords etc. are allowed.***

*Dance-a-thon pledge forms are due on Friday, October 30th as well. This is a very important Parent Council fundraiser and we thank you for your support.

In Language, we continue to use adjectives to describe a variety of things. We did two descriptive writing activities, describing two different pumpkins. We will continue to use adjectives to describe various things this week. Please continue to practice the word wall words each day. These are very important words that your child needs to know to help them in their reading journey.

Homework folders are due at the end of this week. I hope it has been a good first experience for you and your child.

In Math, we are practising our counting to 100 by 1’s, 2’s, 5’s and 10’s. Students worked in pairs to explore different ways to show a number (e.g. using pictures, numbers, tallies, words etc.) We will use ten frames this week to show a variety of numbers.

Important Dates:

• Friday, October 30th - Dance-a-thon (pledge forms due) Block 2
• Friday, October 30th - Wear Halloween costumes

• October 13-30th - We Scare Hunger Food Drive (15 more to go to reach 100!)
