Update

Spelling Unit #3 

The words this week are:  can, pan, man, cat, sat, mat.  Please note that I am expecting correct letter formation for all the letters.  When your child is practicing, please make sure that the letters are formed from 'the top down' except for 'd' which begins with 'magic C'.  I will expect all students to take the spelling tests regardless of whether or not they have been at school.  The words are posted on the blog.  Next test:  Monday, Oct. 29 at 9:00.

Halloween

We will celebrate Halloween on Wednesday, of course.  The students in the elementary classes will need to bring their costumes to school with them and will change into their costumes at lunch time.

Please do not send make up for me to do as it’s impossible with the class.   The students need to be able to put on their costumes independently.  I would also suggest not sending lots of accessories as they will be very excited about trick or treating and may forget these accessories at school.

We will spend the morning working on Halloween related activities and stories.  Parents are invited to join us for the afternoon.   

It will be quite quiet, I hope!   In the afternoon, we will parade through the classes with the other elementary grades.  Then we will play some games and have some centers to work through.  We will also enjoy a snack around 1:30.  At 2:00 the SRC has set up a Sock-Hop in the gym for the students.

Girls will bring snack for Halloween and boys will bring for Christmas.  There are a total of 14 students in the class.  I would like the following girls to bring:

Fruit or veggies – Caybrie, Lexi
Cake/cookies – Victoria, Izzy, Hailey W
Juice(2 litres each) – Tori, Hailey S

Of course, if there is anyone that wants to bring something special, please do.

Attendance

 Please try to ensure that your child does not miss too many days of school or comes late.  Missing a day of school each week quickly adds up!  Also, we do very important Daily Language Review, Spelling and Spelling tests first thing in the morning and students fall behind if they miss.  Thanks!

Have a good weekend!
