Hi Parents!
Today we started to learn how to write a "small moment" story in Writers' Workshop. We are drawing pictures and then adding the words. Grade 1s are trying their best to stretch words like a rubber band to record the sounds they hear. Grade 2s are trying to add good details to their small moment stories! In science we did an experiment called spinning colors! Ask your child about it. We are excited about the Terry Fox run tomorrow from 9:30-10:00. Parents are welcome to attend. Please send in a Twonie for Terry if you can. Kids can wear the memory sticker that was sent home today in memory of a family member or friend who had cancer. If you have not yet sent in the forms in the big envelope or the form for the Bbq next week, please do so asap. Thanks!

Today the grade ones printed the magic letter, Cc.
We are trying 3 reading strategies: point to each word, look at the pictures and examine the first letter. The grade 2s wrote about how we can help Terry Fox. In math we practiced numeral printing. We did some more experimenting with colors and chromatography in science. We ran/jogged/walked 1 big lap on the field to prepare for the Terry Fox run this coming Thursday. September book orders went home today and are due on Mon. Sept. 19. If you have not returned your envelope of school forms and the BBQ forms, please do asap.Thanks! Today we watched a video about Terry Fox and learned about him.
The grade 2s wrote in their journals about Terry Fox while the grade 1s practiced making the letter Tt for Terry. We did a cool science experiment on color. Ask your child about it! In math, we did a survey and graph on how we get to school. The Terry Fox Run is this Thursday. We will have an assembly at 9:00am and the run will follow from 9:30 until 10:00 am approx. All parents are welcome to attend!We will be collecting "Twonies for Terry". We had a great first week of school!
It was wonderful to meet and visit with some families who came to the Sneak A Peek this afternoon. A reminder about the BBQ coming up on Sept. 22 along with the Parent-Teacher Conferences. Next week on Thursday, Sept. 15 our whole school will participate in the Terry Fox Run.It will be from 9:30 until about 10:00 am on the west field and all parents are welcome to come. Our class will be learning about Terry Fox next week and some students will be helping with the assembly on Thursday. We will be collecting "Twonies for Terry" if you would like to send them in. Today a TWAS folder was sent home. This folder is intended for parents to see some of their child's school work each week. It will come home on Fridays. Please take a look at it with your child and then have him/her return the folder on Monday. Thanks for your support! Today we learned how to pick a "good fit" book.
We printed our names and went to number centers in math. The students got their new take home folder which is a courier bag. There is a notice inside about the Andrew Sibbald Barbecue on Sept. 22. Please remember tomorrow from 1:00 pm until 2:00 pm we are having a Sneak A Peek at our school. All families are invited to tour the school and classroom. Hope you can make it! Our first two days have gone well!
