Please keep in mind, according to city rules, all students must wear skates and a CSA approved helmet on the ice. Adults must also wear skates when on the ice, no boots are allowed. Also, no food or drinks are allowed on the ice. Dates and times for our skating event will be on the December newsletter.

Giving Tree- Our class and school, are getting into the Christmas spirit by participating in the Giving Tree project. We are very excited to make a Christmas wish come true for two of our local seniors from Losier Hall. As a part of our You & Your World Unit, showing kindness to others, I ask that the children bring in $1-2 dollars to help purchase the gifts. I would love for the children to earn their money at home, either by doing a chore or and act of kindess for a family member. Please send a little note for your child to share with the class, what they did to earn the money. Thanks so much for your support in this special Christmas project!!

Have a wonderful week at school. Smile and be Kind to each other!!

Report cards go home on Tuesday Nov. 19th. Please keep your copy of the report card and return the envelope, signed Parent\Student response form and Parent\Teacher interview sheet to school.

Students with sight word sheets should review words each night and when you can quickly recognize these words, return the sheet to class for the next lword list. We have been working on identifying and generating rhyme. Please take the time to practice this skill at home. Ask your child if they can tell you a word that rhymes with "cat, dog, tree, snake", ask them "do these words rhyme, snow\spoon, car\star, bell\boat, mouse\house?". In Math, we are working on identifying numbers that come before\after a given number and identifying which set has more, fewer or equal amounts.Challenge your child to some math games that focus on these concepts. Roll a dice ask them to identify the number the comes before and after the number they rolled. Each of you roll the dice, who rolled more? fewer? how many times did you roll equal amounts?
