Hi folks!

Here's a few highlights of our busy classroom:

1. October Challenge: A bright orange page has been sent home with some English word problems and Math facts. This is an optional activity and mirrors what we are completing in class. For students who bring it back by October 31st, they will have their name put into a draw for a prize. Again, this is optional but also a good opportunity to see what we are up to in our Math class.

2. Sport Activities: Please note that afterschool activities such as cross-country and soccer are coming to a close this week. Congrats to all participants and their support teams for getting them to practices and games/meets! You did it!

3. Skating: Our class skating dates are Wednesday, November 2nd and Wednesday, November 30th. We are on the ice from 9-10am both days. A memo will be going home today regarding skates and helmets. Please sign and return. Volunteers are welcome to come tie skates and join in the fun!

4. Homework: Please continue to have your child read in English and French alternately for 10-20 minutes each night. Their guided reading books go home and return each day, along with their French word packs.

5. Halloween & Black Light: More information about these to come! Yes, treats are allowed to be sent in for the students. The exact "rules" on that will be sent home shortly. We have 21 students in our class.

All for now! Phew!
