Dear Parents and Guardians,

Today we had our Remembrance Day ceremony. Ms. Moore and I are very PROUD of the respectful behaviour the students exhibited.

 Here are a few pictures of work we completed yesterday and today:

In science, we have started to learn about our different senses. Over the past few days we have been investigating the sense of sight. Ask your child to tell you what they learned about their pupil and iris.

Your child will be brining home their "Very Hungry...." story today. The students were provided with the following "I Can..." rubric to assist them with completing their work. As you look through your child's work, check to see if they completed the following:

You should notice an increase in the number of correctly spelled high frequency words (he, she, ate, but, was, etc...) throughout the book. Please note, that the students were encouraged to use "bubble gum" spelling (sounding out their words) for words that are not high frequency words. As you read your child's book, have them find the number word on each page and spell it for you.

Things you can practice at home:

• sight words
• home reading and poetry books
• subitizing (playing card and dice games so that your child can instantly recognize different forms of numbers)
• creating tally marks, ten frames and writing the number words for #1-10
• writing in a journal

Reminders:

• Picture retakes are on November 15
• No School for students on November 17 
• The Kenneth D. Taylor Christmas Market is on Saturday, November 18 from 10am-3pm
