- Please ensure that your child has an indoor and an outdoor pair of shoes at all times. A lot of children had wet running shoes on Friday :( Also, an extra pair of socks is always a good idea.
- We continue to collect canned, boxed, bagged and nut-free food items for the Daily Bread Food Bank. Thank you to those who have donated already and thank you in advance for all other donations.
- We are visiting a haunted house in one of the grade 8 classrooms on Thursday. Entrance is two dollars. Please send money in a labelled zip lock bag. Thank you.
- Please speak to your child about their lunch. Are they enjoying what they are eating? A lunch supervisor has noticed that some children have been throwing out their lunches. We had a big chat about food and the importance of having enough energy to learn and play. The children also mentioned the fact that throwing out food is wasting money.
- When you are creating words with the "Making Words" sheet that I often send home, please do not feel pressured to make the 4 or 5 letter words. If your child is able to create a list of 3 letter words, that is fantastic! The 4 and 5 letter word sections are there for a challenge for those that want or need the challenge. This shouldn't be a stressful exercise.
- Please continue to read with your child every night. I hope that everyone is enjoying RazKids!
Sneak Peek into 1D
- We had a Power of One presentation this week which consisted of a number of skits on the topic of bullying. The children learned about the importance of standing up for themselves and speaking up for others. This sparked an interest in more writing. Take a look.....
- On Friday, Rory, Sam and Ella had an opportunity to visit Mrs. Norton's office. They read their stories to her and received wonderful feedback. They were so excited to come back and share the notes that were given to them. We will continue to share our writing with Mrs. Norton and Mrs. Caddel.
- We have been learning various reading strategies to help us when we are stuck on a word. So far, we have discussed the Eagle Eye (looking at pictures), Chunky Monkey (looking for little words in big words that we already know) and Lips the Fish (get your lips ready, what is the first letter sound?).
- In Mathematics, we have continued to create graphs. The students counted colourful goldfish crackers by ones and twos. They coloured in their bar graphs and answered various questions about their data. We have also continued to work on number words which students have begun to use in their writing. On Friday, the children were introduced to a number line. They labelled their individual number lines and had an opportunity to create their very own games. The children came up with the most creative games! They were racing to number 20, sliding plastic bugs from 20 to 0, rolling dice for marker lids and so on.

Brilliant. Thanks so much Ms Furczon, our little one has been buzzing about all the activities you covered in class this week - The story writing and reading was a huge hit!
