Wednesday, October 30th

Hallowe'en is almost here! 


Today, after having cleaned up from Ignite, we did some literacy practice with our Making Words exercise. We used the letters R-T-U-S-H. Can you find the five-letter secret word? 
After that, we had a read-aloud. In the Autumn room, our student teacher, Ms. Rau, read a rhyming story to us. We paired up more rhyming words. Our rhyming list is growing! Following story time, we went to the learning commons to get the run down on our new home reading program. Then we picked out our home reading books! Have a look to see what we brought home! 
The sun was out this morning, so we went outside for a movement break and snack. Then we practiced building our reading stamina and we had an introduction to our first free-writing assignment. The topic we’re are going to write about is “Hallowe’en Costumes”. 

Soon after returning to class from our lunch break, we had our math lessons and Inquiry block. We’re still working towards our Peace Assembly during Inquiry. Finally, we played some dice math games and went to phys. ed.. 

Reminders

  • Check for the home-reading folders in your student’s back pack. There is more information about this year’s home-reading program included inside.

  • Tomorrow is Hallowe’en! We can’t wait to see your costumes, but please remember that no masks or weapons are allowed.

  • There is no school on Friday.

  • Does your student speak a second language at home? If they do, please e-mail your responsibility teacher. We have a special job for them.
