Our Week for Oct. 20- Nov. 3

Hello Grade One Families:

This week we had fun at Groove Dance.  Ask us all about it!  We will also be having a Dance on Friday too.  Our Dance time is from 10-10:45 am.  Wednesday will be Walk to School and it's a Spirit Day- Fun Hat Day!  




Here are some other reminders for our upcoming week.

1) Monday is Day 2 of our cycle.

2) Halloween is on Tuesday.  We can come in our costumes all day if we want.  Please refer to the letter that was handed out last week.  We can wear Fall Colours too!  We will be engaging in curriculum related Halloween activities all day.

3) Library is on Wednesday Day 4.  Please return Library books that day as we will not have book exchange for a few weeks as the Library will be setting up for the Scholastic Book Fair.  Scholastic Book Fair is during the week of November 13-17.  More to follow shortly.

4) November newsletter will be going home on Wednesday.  Please note that there will be no MWW (Making Words Work) on short weeks.  Those are weeks with PA Days or Holidays.  :)

5) Our MWW words for Lesson # 40 are:  Short 'e' words and Heart words

Our MWW worksheet is due back by Friday.

6) Our Poetry Folder went home today.  Please have your child read to you with their best phrasing and expression.  If they are going out on Halloween they can draw their costume on the back page.  Please return on Monday.

7) Our Friday Letter went home today too.  We wrote together our Recount using our new transition words (First, Then, Next, Finally) We are learning to Think it, Say it, Write it, and Re-read to make sense.

8) Photo Retake Day is on November 7.

9) Progress Report Cards will be distributed electronically to your child's gapps account around November 9.  Interviews are the pm of November 16 and November 17 am.  Sign up will be on EDSBY.  

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call or write in your child's agenda. 

Have a wonderful weekend with your children.
