Dear Mom and Dad:
We added a few more words to our word wall: of, it, to, that. We refer to our word wall when we need to use them in our writing. They are our "no excuse" words and should be written correctly when we work on writing. We also added a couple of new poems to our poetry folders. We LOVE reading our poems! It helps us with our reading and builds our confidence. We have been doing so awesome with our "jobs" in daily 5. Today we worked on "read to self" and "read to someone". Our reading stamina is really building up. Our teachers are very impressed!
In math we are working on translating patterns. Some of us recorded our thinking in our math journals and others worked with a partner to translate each other's patterns. Ask me to tell you what I did in math.
Did you know that today is the first day of Fall? We read a fall book and talked about the changes that we are seeing all around us. Ask me to tell you some signs of fall. We are all explorers! We are learning what it means to wonder and then investigate. This will be important on our fall walk this Thursday as we think of many questions. I wonder, I notice, It reminds me of.
Question of the day: What do you wonder about fall? Post on the blog your questions and thoughts.
Love,
The Rainbow Triad
Housekeeping:
We need volunteers to come with us on our community fall walk this Thursday from 9am-10am. Please e-mail your child's teacher if you are able to come we need at least 8 more volunteers to be able to go. Please note that all volunteers need to have completed a CBE police clearance.
This is the last week for Entertainment books. Please return your book if you are not purchasing them. A note was sent home today with your child if you still have a book at home. You can return it to the school or send a chq for $40. Thank you!
On Wednesday we will be having our Terry Fox hot dog lunch from 11:30am-12:30pm. Parents can join us for our hot dog lunch but will have to leave when the bell goes at 12:30pm. Families are welcome to return back to the school at 2pm if they wish to participate in the run. Feel free to bring towels or picnic blankets for lunch.
