Hello again!
Thank you to everyone who made it out to the Meet the Staff event last week. Ms. Marklew and I enjoyed meeting and speaking with everyone that was able to stop by. If you were not able to make the evening event, we sent home the handouts that were made available that evening. The first was a one page profile about myself and the second was a set of pages about how you can support learning in reading, writing, spelling and math at home. If you did not receive these handouts or would like another copy, please let us know via your child's communication book. This week is going to be jam packed with learning all across the subjects. Below is a brief summary of the topics being explored: English Language Arts: - procedural writing - focusing on using words such as first, second, third or first, next, then, finally - proof reading one's own work and the work of a peer and offering suggestions for improvement - applying procedural writing in a real life context Science: - combining liquids and solids - edible experiment (!!!) Math: - strategies for making 5 and 10 - building a 100s chart using a variety of number patterns - place value, tens and ones Reminders: 1. Please remember to return your child's yellow communication folder EACH day. It is an important responsibility that we place on the students and is a primary communication tool for notices from school. 2. With the weather now turning, it is imperative that all students have a pair of indoor RUNNING shoes that they can change into at school. Should your child not have appropriate running shoes for indoor wear, they will not be able to participate in phys ed due to safety issues. 3. We go to the library every Tuesday morning to exchange our books. If your child has not returned their library book, they will not be allowed to borrow another one. Dates to Save: September 30th - Orange Shirt Day in awareness of the residential school system October 4th - School Photo day. Please do not wear green! October 11th - PD Day for students; no school! October 14th - Thanksgiving holiday; no school
