Hello Parents and Happy Thanksgiving

This week we worked on our numbers booklets, wrote journal entries about Terry Fox and Thanksgiving, created Thanksgiving and Autumn crafts, and practiced writing our high frequency words. The SKs are doing very well with this skill and the JKs are working on upper and lower case letter recognition as well as letter sounds.

Snuggle Books are going home each week now - these are levelled readers that you and your child read together. We rotate through several series of these readers the year. Please return the readers in the white TDSB bags by each Friday so your child can receive a new one.

The children are taking home LKS Library books now - just a reminder that both the books and the special green bags with your child's name and a SKU number are to be returned at the same time. I have labelled bins for both the morning and afternoon classes at the classroom entrance - a white bin for the white bags, bins for returned Snuggle Books and Library books/bags, as well as bin for work/letters that go home each week. Please assist your child in remembering to remove the white TDSB and Library bags from their backpacks each morning. This also assists my parent volunteers who help me sort and fill the white bags on Fridays.

Thank you very much Mrs. Lawler (Griffin's mom) for bringing in a big box! The afternoon class painted it black today and we are making a "Haunted" Hallowe'en House!

Please bring in one large leaf this week; we will be making a plaster cast/"fossil" of the leaf that the children will paint when it is dry.

Thank you as always and I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend!
