Hi Everyone!

Welcome Back! I hope you had a fun weekend!

Phys. Ed - Our Phys. Ed days this week are Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday.

Library - Our library day is on Thursday. Make sure you bring your book back so you can sign out another book.

Orange Shirt Day - This week is Truth and Reconciliation Week in ASD-N. We will be observing Orange Shirt Day on Thursday September 30th. Students and staff are asked to wear an orange shirt on Thursday in honour of Residential School survivors and for those children who did not make it home. This week we will be finding out more about this topic and how we can help to make a change.

Thanksgiving Meal Pre-Orders - The cafeteria will be offering a Thanksgiving meal on Thursday October 7th. The meal will be a turkey dinner with a milk and dessert for $7.00. If your child would like to order this meal, they are asked to pre-order by Friday October 1st. A memo went home with the order form.

Homework/Reading - We are going to continue with our sight words and reading for homework this week. We can use a little more practice with our sight words. There are 8 different sheets all together, front and back. Once your child knows all words, please sign it so I can send home the next sheet. If they have already done all lists, then choose one each night to practice. Remember with sight words they should be able to say the word right away without hesitation. A new bag of reading books went home today. There are 4 books in the bag. The students are asked to pick one book each night to read. Please remember to record the book on the log sheet. Sight Word Lists F-H have been uploaded to the documents section on our class page. We will start our spelling words next week.

Masks/Water Bottles - Just a reminder that due to Covid-19 Protocols students have to wear their masks during the day inside the school. We ask that you send 2 clean masks each day. As we can not use the fountains to drink out of, students are asked to bring a water bottle with them to school. They are able to refill their bottles during the day.

Literacy - We are working on sight words, vowels and sounds in our word work. Remember that every word has to have a vowel in it. We are starting to add more to our writing. We are doing 3 sentences now and making sure we tell good details and that every sentence begins with a capital letter and ends with a (., ?, or !). When we draw a picture with detail that adds to our writing too. We are getting back into reading every day and using the strategies we worked on to help out with words we don't know. Make sure you look at the beginning letter and read across the whole word.

Math - We are doing better with counting by 1s to 30 and backwards from 30; by 10s to 100 and backwards from 100; by 2s to 20 and backwards from 20. We are working on increasing patterns and comparing and ordering numbers to 25.

Have a fantastic week!
