Here are some important reminders and updates of what will be happening this week in grade 1!

Library: reminder that our library day is on Tuesday. Please bring your book back to be able to sign out another. 

Homework: please continue to read one levelled book each night (Monday-Thursday) and log which 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. Students are asked to contine 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.

Spirit Week: this week is Spirit Week, October 24th-28th! There is a themed day that staff and students can participate in daily.  

• Monday, October 24th- Black & Orange Day
• Tuesday, October 25th- Plaid Day 
• Wednesday, October 26th- Crazy Sock/Hair Day
• Thursday, October 27th- Dress Like Your Teacher Day
• Friday, October 28th- Halloween Costume/ Halloween Shirt Day 

On Friday, we will be participating in the Halloween Costume Parade in the gym in the afternoon. 

If the students wish to carve or decorate a pumpkin at home and enter it in the school contest, it needs to be at the school by Tuesday, October 25th. 

Next week (October 24th-28th), there will be a pumpkin contest to start off spirit week. Students are invited to bring in their own pumpkins from home on Monday (October 24th) or Tuesday (October 25th). Students can decorate a pumpkin or carve it, there will be two categories. Later in the week, students will vote on their favourites (1 carved, 1 decorated) and prizes will be given to the person with the most votes from each level.
