D.E.A.R Day


Dear Mom and Dad:

Today for Read-a-thon week was “D.E.A.R” day (drop everything and read day) I can color 10 more squares in my reading log today. We had to have a book with us at all times and when we heard the chimes over the intercom we had to stop what we were doing and read. We also had the chance today to do author’s chair where we share our books and writing with the class.  Its great to see all the books that are being read and all the writing that is happening.

In the afternoon we did a writing prompt where we looked at a picture and had to create a story. Ask me to tell you what my story was about.

We did some boot camp excercies in gym today! Ask me to tell you and show you what all the stations were and what we had to do at each one. Ask me to tell you which characters I saw today for “dress up as your favorite character” day!

Mrs. Ly’s class met our “roots of empathy” baby today. Ask me to tell you what her name is! We will be documenting and recording her progress throughout her first year of life.

Mrs. McEvoy’s class had music today

Question of the day: Post on the blog the importance of Remembrance Day.

Love,
The Rainbow Triad

Housekeeping:

On Friday is our Remembrance Day Assembly at 9am. Students will be receiving a poppy and it would great if you could send a small donation to go to the Poppy Fund. Students are welcom to wear their scouts, beavers etc uniforms on Friday.

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!
