Students were grouped and went to work in our school garden this morning. Together we bagged 9 bags of carrots and celebrated by making carrot fries in the class.

Forgot to mention about Halloween treats!
You're welcome to send in treats for the class on Friday, should you choose. As usual, they must be nut-free. We have 21 students in our class.

Hi folks!
Students are working hard at their French and English reading. Keep going over word cards and guided reading books at home daily for homework. Awesome job!
A few things on the go....
- Wednesday: we plan to walk downtown to the pumpkin walk for a literacy activity with Mme Prince's class. We will also be going to the public library. Remember library cards! Please help your child choose appropriate clothing for the weather. If it's pouring, we will cancel.
- Thursday: we will be going to JMH in the morning to watch our grade 5 students in their Blacklight show!
- Friday: the school will be having Halloween celebrations. Costumes are for Friday! Any make-up is to be put on at home. No masks or props permitted at school.
Have a great week!

Sunshine and vitamin D are good for the soul! While many of our students were away at a soccer jamboree, the rest of us took advantage of the sun. First we cheered on some class mates, then headed to the school garden. Grade 5 student Will planted carrots during the summer and tended to them too...

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!

Hi Folks!
Reminder that guided reading French & English books, along with their practice words are to be sent back to school each day. We "work" these books for approximately a week before swapping them out. Students are moving along nicely!
Heads up that our class will be going skating twice in the month of November. May be a good time to size feet and helmets. A memo will go home closer to the date.
Lastly, we have a few guests coming in and out of our class. Mme Andrée-Anne works with the class Mondays-Thursdays on French oral proficiency and small reading groups. She is with our class for about an hour each day. Miss Erin comes in through Big Brothers Big Sisters to teach the SNAP program. This is aimed at having children to stop and think before they react. This week is Fire Prevention week. The firefighters plan to come in and do a presentation on Friday too.

Book orders were sent home last week. You can order and view online through Scholastics Canada. Our class code is: RC198054. There's free shipping for order $50+. If you have a bookorder, you're welcome to send in the correct amount (plus tax) and pool our orders together. If there aren't enough orders, I simply send it home. Worth a shot to save some money! Orders due to the class by October 13th.
