Posted: September 27, 2015

 Hi Everyone, I hope you had a wonderful weekend and got outside to enjoy the beautiful weather.     Phys. Ed Our Phys. Ed days are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.     Terry Fox Walk Our school walk is on Friday October 1st. The K-2 students will be walking the trail around the soccer field and softball field. Please join us if you can. The walk starts at 1:00 PM. We have been learning all about Terry Fox and what he did with his Marathon Of Hope. Look at the difference that one person can make!  Students are asked to bring in $2.00, or a donation of their choice, which will be given to the Terry Fox Foundation in support of cancer research. We are helping to keep Terry's dream alive. What a great Canadian Hero!   Library Our library day is on Friday. Please remember to bring in your book so you can take out another one.   Homework/ Borrow-A-Book The homework for the week is listed in the blue folder. Our spelling words this week focus on the short /i/ vowel sound. Please make sure you read your book each night and record the book on the log sheet.    Math In Math we are working on a unit on patterns. We have done a lot of work with repeating patterns and have just started learning about increasing patterns. We have found out that increasing patterns get bigger, they go up by the same amount each time. You can work on counting by 1s, 2s, 5s and 10s at home. Scholastic Book Clubs Order forms for the Scholastic Book Club will be going home on Monday. If you would like to order a book, please return the form and money by Thursday October 1st.   Class Project With Texas We have started our project with our partner class in Texas. The first thing we are working on is our class letter of introduction. This is the 10th year that our school has partnered with St. John's Episcopal School in Dallas, Texas. We are looking forward to another great year!      Have a fabulous week!
