Dear families,
October 1st already! With last week's hot weather we certainly didn't talk about "Signs of Fall" but now that Thanksgiving is around the corner, it will be easier for the children to see and feel the new season.
It was nice speaking you those of you who attended Curriculum Night. Thank you to Hope's mom who came with us on the Terry Fox Walk. Thank you as well to Yara's mom who was our Mystery Reader this week!
The children did a great job on our practice Lock Down, keeping very quiet in the cubby room "because there is a dog in the school."
The words of the week were CAN, ME, LIKE and MY. The letter sounds we practised this week were S and A. We also practised more patterns this week and will continue working on them next week.
We had our first Sharing Assembly of the year on Friday. The children did a great job reciting the poem "I Like School." Congratulations to Christopher, Ethan and Maya for receiving a certificate for RESPECT.
We completed a class book inspired by Mo Willems' "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!" Each child will get a copy to bring home and we'll keep the original in our class library.
We also completed our first "This is Me in... (September)" and first calendar. I keep a copy for assessment purposes and send a copy home. We do these each month.
That's the news from Room 166! Next week we will do a lot of Fall and Thanksgiving activities. I hope you have a wonderful week!
