We continued to become familiar with class and school routines. Mrs. Hoye selected some students to help create a school wide video on "expected and unexpected" behaviours. We had a class discussion and followed up with one of my favourite stories, HaveYou Filled a Bucket Today? by Carol McCloud. This book talks about how everyone has an invisible bucket and we can fill it or dip into it. We want others to feel good or happy and we can do our part to help with that. Ask your child about this special book.
We continued with "Ways to Make" a special number and counting activities in Math. In Language Arts, we wrote about our weekend and continued with patterned sentences on other topics as well.
In the upcoming weeks, we will be starting "Our Five Senses" in Science and "Belonging to Our World" in Social Studies. Please let me know if your child has allergies, as there will be taste and smell tests later in the unit. We will be talking about what groups that your child belongs to, such as sports, school, family, worship, etc. in the next few weeks as well.
Homework will start this week. Your child will bring home a homework folder on Monday. Please check the homework page on this site for details. It is due on Thursday, September 24th, as there is no school on Friday, 25th.
Library books are due each Wednesday. Students will only receive one book in the upcoming weeks, as we are finding that we do not have enough books to hold for three days, before allowing students can choose new books.
Please find the French blog page. I will add it to my blog soon, so that you can access it more easily.
