Scholastic Orders: If you are purchasing an item online, you still need to fill out the paper strip and send it to school with your child. Our scholastic rep needs the slips in order to complete the order.
Scare Hunger Food Drive (Oct. 17- Oct. 31): Our annual food drive to benefit the Daily Bread Food Bank begins on Monday. We are asking for donations of canned, boxed and bagged nonperishable and nut-free food items. The school is going to keep a tally of the daily collection totals in the display case by the office. Feel free to drop off food items in our box outside of the classroom. Thank you in advance for all your donations.
Raz-Kids: I have created a username and a password for every student. A letter will be sent home this week so that you may log in and begin using the website. Every student has been assigned to a reading level based on their reading assessment. It is important for your child to read books at their assigned reading level before moving up. Although a child may be reading books above their reading level, they may not always comprehend what they have read. After reading, your child may complete the quiz provided below the book (?- the question mark). You may also ask your child to retell the story. What happened at the beginning, middle and end?
Note- I will not be monitoring Raz-Kids on a regular basis. I may log in to see how often students sign in to read, however I will not be providing feedback or sending messages on the website. If you have any problems or questions, please send me a note in your child's agenda. Here are some other educational websites that you may want to use at home with your child. starfall.com, abcya.com, readworks.org
* Although I do not assign much homework, you may often find a worksheet in your child's backpack that they may complete at home. I hope your child had fun making words :)
What did we do last week?
The children had their first writer's workshop and it was a big success! They had an entire work period to create their own writing pieces. We talked about creating cards, recipes, books, stories and so on. The children created cook books, pirate maps with instructions, cards and much much more! Everyone was extremely engaged. It was incredible to watch the children as they shared their ideas, helped each other and created unique work. Take a look at these photos!
A beautiful card for Hudson's little sister.
Learning how to make a book.

Math- The students have been been learning to collect data, create graphs and analyze data results. We have also completed several class graphs. (What is your favourite ice-cream? How do you get to school?). We are learning to read the data and answer questions such as, "How many MORE children chose chocolate than vanilla?"
Our word wall is getting full !
