Halloween Week

Our class has been watching the fore cast all week for snow. I woke up this morning to no snow, but news that everywhere else got snow! Needless to say it is chilly out now! Please ensure that your child is coming dressed appropriate for the day. Before school and our first recess is usually quite cold. Also a reminder to label all of your child's mitts, touques etc.

Here is a look at this week:

Wednesday- Library
Thursday- Pumpkin filled afternoon
Friday- Hot Lunch

Halloween- Students are welcome to come dressed in non-violent costumes. I am still in need of about 3 pumpkins. If you are able to donate a pumpkin for our Pumpkin filled afternoon Thursday please let me know!

A reminder too that Life Touch retakes are scheduled for November 4th

Here is a few pictures from our Education Week:

No snow yet!

Can you believe that this time last year we had snow to stay? We have been lucky to have a wonderful fall so far, but remember it is still very chilly for our students before school and during the first recess. Be sure your child comes to school with the appropriate attire for our cold mornings! Please ensure your child's mitts and tuque have their name labelled in it. It is much easier to find in the lost and found when they are labelled. Thanks in advance!

A look at this week:

Wednesday and Thursday- Parent Teacher Interviews and Book Fair
Thursday- Take Home Reading exchange
Friday- Prayer service @ 9:30 a.m. in our gym.

Qui suis-je (All About Me)

We are creating a bucket all about me that we will use for a final presentation at the end of this context. If you have any empty coffee cans we are still in need! Also, we will be asking for things from time to time to bring to school and add to our bucket. Keep an eye out for these requests in the agenda!

Star of the Week 
There should be a letter coming home today and this starts next week. Check out the list of dates to find when your child has their week!

L to J
Our ALL TIME BEST in spelling so far is 32. We came really close to a new All Time Best last week, so keep practicing 3-5 words a night with your child! If you have a Pinterest account search "Word Work Ideas". There are oodles of fun ways to practice these words!

In numbers, our ALL TIME BEST is 60! Wow! Again, last week we got very close to a new best! Try to find the numbers around the house and in your child's every day life.

When we get 5 All Time Bests in either number or spelling we will be having a class pyjama party. So far we have 3 All Time Bests in spelling so we are not too far off our goal!

Have a great week!

Welcome to October

Here is a quick update on this week:

Tomorrow: Scholastics are due
Wednesday: Early dismissal at 2:30 p.m.
Thursday: Exchange Take Home Reading books
Friday: Library

New project: We are starting into our unit "Qui suis-je", where we learn more about each other. As we deal with different elements, I will ask students to bring little things from home to put in their bucket. For example, something little (a button, an elastic etc) to represent their favorite color. For this project we are using empty coffee cans. If you have any or know of anybody who has any coffee cans, we would love that you donate them to us! Thanks in advance!

Conferences: Tonight you should have received a white page with your conference time and date. If you need to reschedule, please contact me to do so!

More about your child: At the SCC Family BBQ I had a purple questionnaire that I hope you received. There are a few questions that I ask to learn more about your child in hopes of being a better teacher for them! Please if you did not get one, let me know and I will be sure to send one home. Thanks to all who have returned them already!

Have a great week!
