Reminders:

If you need help, please contact the office or myself (hlandrews@cbe.ab.ca) and we can help you book a conference.
- October 1st is our first Spirit Day. The students have chosen Pajama Day. Students may wear a clean pair of pjs, but we ask that stuffies and toys stay at home.
Here are some notable activities from the week:
- During Language Arts, we are reviewing the graphemes (letters with their sounds). This is a good review for all students as they it helps them be more aware of letter sounds when they are reading and writing. This week we reviewed the letters; a, c, d, f, and g. Along with reviewing the letter names and sounds, we are also learning/reviewing how to print the letters properly so that their printing becomes more efficient. Remember, we always start printing a letter from the top. Here are a few fun videos we watched to review letters sounds and printing. Please review these letters and sounds if your child is still learning their letters and sounds.
- In Math are learning about patterns. We have learned to label the terms (the individual pieces in the pattern) with letters and identify the core. The core is the first part of the pattern that repeats over and over. Here are some pictures of our work.
- In Science we learned about optical illusions and the students even made their own. Check their back pack if they haven't shown it to you yet!
- In Social Studies, we have discussed how the 3 pillars of Respect (Respect for our self, Respect for others and Respect for this place), and what that looks like in our classroom and in the world around us.
