Cuddle up to a good book day

Dear Mom and Dad:

Today was all about literacy and reading! I participated in 2 book clubs today. Ask me to tell you what book club I was a part of and what I did during that time.

We did a a lot of reading! We read stories with Mrs. Gates and also read a story called “The true story of the 3 little pigs.” This was an interesting story because it tells of the story from the wolf’s point of view. Ask me to you “jabber the reteller” reading strategy to retell this story to you. We talked about story maps and how we can retell a story by stating who the characters are, the setting and what has happened in the beginning middle and end of a story.

Question of the day: Post on the blog what you enjoyed doing at book today.

Love,

The Rainbow Triad

Read a Thon: Tomorrow is “dress up as your favorite book character” You can find items at home and put together something really simple. This is optional.

We are going on a field trip to the Telus Sparks Centre on Wednesday November 19 for the entire school day. We will need volunteers, please let your child's teacher know if you would like to volunteer. We will be sending field trip forms next week with all of the information. Thank you very much! ** Mrs. Ly’s class need at least 2 more volunteers at the moment for this fieldtrip, if you would like to join us please e-mail lmnguyen@cbe.ab.ca. Thank you.

We will be starting our inquiry for building in a few weeks. We are looking for materials that students can experiment with. If you, or your neighbors have items such as: cereal boxes, paper towel rolls, coffee tins, pringle cans, cardboard etc. Anything that we can build with! We will be asking students to bring these items on the week of November 12. It would be great if you could start collecting now. Thank you!
