Here are some important reminders and updates for our class this week!

Library: we will be going to the library tomorrow. Please return your library book to make sure you can take a new one home with you for the week. 

Lunch Orders: friendly reminder when a student is ordering their lunch, I would ask that you write down what the student would like to have, put the money and their order in a baggie and place the bag in the child's agenda or 'bring back' 'take home' folder. Thank you! 

Homework: please continue to read one levelled book each night and log the book you read. Sight words are to be practiced daily, when students can read the sight words quicky, please sign the sheet and return it to school. My ABC book, letter tracing, please make sure you are tracing the letters with your finger. Focus on the letters that the student does not know at first. When students are confident with naming the letters and the sounds consistently, please let me know and I will send home sight words. Continue to play one math game each night. I would ask that you make sure to return the levelled books on Friday of each week. 

• It is important to send the agenda and 'bring back' 'keep home' folder to school each day. The homework folder (sight words/letter tracing) and math games can stay at home during the week if you wish. 

Math Games: new math games will be sent home with the students tomorrow.

Remembrance Day Ceremony at School: the school Remembrance Day Ceremony will be held on Thursday, November 10th at 10:00AM. It is asked that only one guest per student attends due to our limited seating in the gym. Thank you for understanding! 

Remembrance Day- No School: there is no school on Friday, November 11th. Please take this time to honour and think of all the brave men and women who fought for the peace and freedom we have today. 

Home and School Fundraiser: the Home and School is selling cookie dough, muffin mixes and spreads for a school fundraiser. The students went home with the information and fundraiser sheets.
