We started our action-packed day with some writing to our mousey friends about what we did this weekend! We then learned about a new set of letters-- bounce letters (r, n, m, h, b, p)! After recess, we had another exciting literacy centre session, followed by going outside for gym! After lunch, we started a new novel study-- Magic Tree House: Dinosaurs at Dawn! We finished our day by creating a "Math Dot Foldable" which is a tool that has three different ways to show numbers 1-5 (1, one, and a single dot, etc.) for us to use as a reference!
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.
Please and Thank You
- Please consider contributing a pumpkin for the week of October 26-29. (To avoid rotting pumpkins, it is best if they come to school no sooner than this Friday!) We will be exploring estimation and measurement through some very fun pumpkin math! I am hoping to collect 5 or 6 pumpkins, a variety of shapes and sizes. Thanks very much for considering!
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:
- Book fair notice (went home with oldest and only)
Library Books:
