Dear Parents,
We had a fun and eventful week!
On Monday we all enjoyed our visit to the library for a read-a-loud from Mr. Coyl. Students are now able to check out books from the library and have 2 weeks to return them. The students have also enjoyed choosing an animal and doing research on what makes it interesting. Finally students have been enjoying practicing their dance for the play Beauty and the Beast.
We have also been working hard this week!
In Social Studies we completed our unit on maps, and we are looking forward to starting our independent research projects on animals - you will be hearing more about this soon! In Math we finished up Chapter 5 and have started to work on the number concepts and patterns chapter, which is a lot of fun! In Language Arts many of us are really enjoying our story time, and just can’t stop reading! In our written work, we have been working on our writing process, using prewriting, drafting, revising, proofreading and publishing to make a well thought out personal narrative. Ask your child if they can share their journal with you!
Halloween is coming up and we would like invite all the parents into school on Wednesday the 27th of October from 9:00-12:00 in the morning. There will be a school wide showing off of costumes from 9:00-10:00am on the basketball court and then from 10:30-12:00 our class will be running an activity for all elementary students to stop by our class and participate in.
Jacob, Kevin Y. Mackin and Ashley's parents have volunteered to assist during this day to help with the class party. The class activity will be a "gross touch and guess it" theme where children will stick their hands through a cloth and have to guess what gross thing they are touching. This is where I'll need your help, please bring in gross things to be put in a bin (which I have) that can be touched by the children (sticky things, jello like things, or anything that you think will feel weird to the non-seeing eye). Candy or other treats will also be nice to have to share with the students. If you're not sure what to bring please email me. Thank you in advance to everyone who will help.
Finally a thank you to all our parents who have been signing your child's communication book and the completed tests. We are looking forward to the upcoming celebrations over the next few months (Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas). It has been a busy time for us all, and the children love to include their family.
Have a great weekend! Remember NO school on Monday for students.
