Fall is finally here!!

Happy weekend!!

Hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful Fall weather!

We were able to take advantage of it and go on our Fall community walk this week.  We payed close attention to what we saw, heard, felt and smelled!  Even though most of the leaves have fallen off the trees, we were still able to admire the beauty of colour from our view at the ridge.  At the end of our walk we found and area of grass will lots of leaves!  Time to feel, crunch and throw them in the air!  It was a wonderful time.

This week we worked on the letters L, P, O and G!  Since we now have 2 vowel sounds, we are learning that we are able to spell even more small words!  

We are getting really good at our POPCORN words.  Parents, we encourage you to continue working with your child at home.  These words will be a foundation of your child's reading and writing skills.  Next week at interviews we will get a new list!!

Our math centres continue to engage us in reinforcing our sorting, patterning, and number skills.  We have had a chance to go through 4 of our 10 rounds so far.  Ask me what my favourite station is so far!

In writing we are learning about what happens First, Next and Last in a story.  We read many "If you give a ......" stories to show students how many things happen in a story and in some they come full circle!  

CLUB FRIDAY was this week.  Students had an amazing time and were very independent in getting to and from their club.  Ask me what I liked best about my club!

Reminders

Parent teacher conferences are Thursday evening and Friday morning.  If you haven't booked an interview there is still time!!

Home Reading is an important program for your child.  Please read with your child daily and use the sheet we sent home to help you with the ways you can support your child. 

Parents, we could use more volunteers to do home reading.  Spots open are Wednesdays or Fridays.  Please sign up in you can!  It usually only takes an hour of your time any time of the day!!
