Highlights of the Day:
We began our day with a special guest, Mrs. Smith (another teacher in our school) who came in and played some fun activities with us! We then had another round of our literacy centres, followed by French! After snack, we had some fun sorting groups of seven dots and finding the smaller numbers within them (e.g. "I can see a group of five, and a group of two! That equals seven!"). We missed our Friday dance party (oops!), so we played some tag games in the gym instead! Have a wonderful weekend!
Book Fair:
There will be no library book exchanges next week, as we will have a Book Fair set up in the Library for the Parent-Teacher conferences. We will be going to have a preview during our library time on Thursday and then books can be purchased Thursday evening and Friday morning. A portion of the book purchases go towards adding to our own school library.
Students cannot purchase books during the preview, but can make a wish list. This wish list is for books we want to have but it is our parents who decide which books we get.
Volunteer Opportunities:
- We will be crafting rekenrek math tools next Thursday afternoon (the 22nd) at 2:00PM. Lots of fun, but involving lots of small beads, so an extra volunteer would be most welcome!
Mail Pockets:
- October Scholastic fliers
- Halloween Family Dance form (went home with oldest and only)
Library Books:
Our class visits the Learning Commons on Thursday mornings. If your child would like to exchange their current book for a new one, please return by Thursday.
Upcoming Dates:
- Oct. 21-22 – Scholastic Book Fair
- Oct. 22-23 – Parent/Teacher Conferences
- Oct. 30 – PD Day – NO SCHOOL
- Nov. 24 – Field Trip – Arts Commons
Daily Challenge:
Today, we looked at finding smaller numbers within bigger ones. How many ways can you make seven out of smaller numbers?
