Last week of November already!

Homework:

Tonight your child should have brought home a homework assignment to do with cooperation. I have asked that it be returned by Friday. If this is not possible for you, please return it at your earliest convenience. We had a great discussion today about the topic!

Upcoming Events:

Friday- Advent Prayer Service at10:45 a.m.
          - Last day for Salvation Army Food Drive donations (Our class goal is 100 and we are already at 77!)
          - Junior ATB deposit and account opening day from 11:45 a.m. - 1:00p.m.(If you are interested in opening an account for your child, you are invited to come it Friday as there will be ATB financial employees who can set this up for you.)

Monday- We will be visited once again by some members from the Bobcat team! Your child is invited to wear a jersey that day!

L à J:

 

We have achieved yet another L à J Numbers All Time Best! I am so proud of the growth that the students have been making and how excited they get about

numbers!

 

Some highlights from the past couple of weeks:

We have now 2 boxes full! We are filling others buckets!

The Bobcats visit!

Recap and a look into the future

We have had a busy week back since Spring Break! The students have been working hard at their final project for the unit "Moi". As we start into our integrated unit "La famille", I would ask that you send with your child a photo of your family. We will be introducing our families to each other as well as discussing what makes a family and how families are often different. We will return the picture when we are done with them. Merci!

L à J-

Another All Time Best in L à J les nombres! We have broken the 100 mark and the students are very proud of their successes!

We are still working on getting another All Time Best in our L à J spelling. I encourage you to pick 5 words a week to practice with your child! Try practicing them a differenct way every night! Try using fridge magnets, playdough, pen and paper, saying the letters out loud, writing them in salt or sugar!

Next Week:

Monday November 19th- 2 Bobcat players will be visiting our classroom. Your child may choose to wear a jersey to school that day!

Tuesday November 20th- Pizza partie to celebrate our school's Seasons of Savings coupon book success.

Friday November 23rd- Saintly Gardens from 1:15- 2:15

I wish you all a great weekend! Please feel free to contact me at any point if you have questions or concerns!

News for this week

I hope you all enjoyed the fall break with your children! This morning our class enjoyed sharing with each other their favorite moment from their week off!

Tomorrow- Please ensure your child comes to school with their favorite object tomorrow, as they will be presenting it to our class by describing why it is special to them. As well, they will be using two other caracteristics to describe their object.

November Newsletter

 

November Newsletter

This week we experienced our 40^th day of school. How time flies!  Thanks you all for coming out to parent teacher interviews! I appreciate any communication between home and school. I believe this is a key to each child’s success.

Winter Apparel

Please ensure your child arrives at school with appropriate winter apparel. Please label each and every item to help prevent items from disappearing! I encourage you to keep an extra pair of socks and clothing in your child’s backpack, as with our winter weather at the moment it is easy to get soggy!

 Blog

Our classroom blog is up and running! I try to update it at least once a week with upcoming events, learning tips and classroom happenings. http://1cstthomas.blogspot.ca/ 

I would like to start posting pictures on our blog of the students highlighting what we are doing in the class. If you WOULD NOT like your child’s picture on our blog please let me know by November 11.

Take Home Reading is now under way! Please ensure envelopes are returned Mondays and Thursdays. If you feel their reading material is above or below their independent reading level, please let me know.

A reminder to initial your child’s agenda every night. I will place a sticker each day when I see your initials. As well, our behavior communication has gotten underway.
