Hello everyone
This is just a reminder that the Terry Fox Walk is tomorrow, Thursday, October 1 at 9:15 a.m. Tomorrow calls for light showers and 12C so the children will need warm jackets and appropriate footwear.
Today was library day which is always a wonderful day for the children. Please be sure to return library books each week in the white library bin just inside the classroom entrance.
In class we have been working on fall themes and today the children did wonderful plasticine pictures which are displayed in the large bulletin board in the school hallway outside our class. We are working each day on Thanksgiving and fall-related songs and poems.
The children are also completing a work sheet each day to improve their writing skills. Some are booklets which, when completed, will be sent home, and some are individual sheets which are also filed and will be collated and sent home shortly so that you can see your child’s progress. I encourage you to do crafts and writing activities at home in order to help with their manual dexterity skills – colouring, cutting shapes, tracing, etc.
If you haven’t yet submitted your family tree photos please send them in as soon as possible; we will be painting our “Family Trees” shortly and then will add the photos.
Some of the art and literacy activities we will be doing will be following a theme of the well-known and wonderful children’s writers and illustrators Eric Carle, Barbara Reid, and Jann Brett.

The children will create artwork and work on writing booklets following the themes of these author’s works.
I am truly enjoying teaching your children and look forward to a wonderful October!
Sincerely,
Beverley Tyndall
