Week 8

Reminders:

  • Thursday is picture retake day. Please make sure that you email me or write in their planner so I can add your child's name to the list. 
  • Friday is our All Saints Dress Up day. Students may come dressed up as a Saint and we will be celebrating in the afternoon by having a primary All Saints Party. 
  • There will be a notice for the oldest coming home tomorrow about a Halloween collection initiated by the Christian Servers. 
  • Next week students can bring any extra Halloween candy to give to AGAPE street ministries. 
Weekly Learning: 
  • In phonics the Grade ones are working on short a and the Grade twos are working on short vowel sounds.
  • In Math, we are working on showing numbers different ways. The Grade ones are doing this by showing numbers with tally marks, base ten blocks, ten frames and number words. The Grade twos are doing this by using different combinations of rods and units to show the same number. 
  • During our Guided Reading Groups, some students are working on the strategy of Flippy the Dolphin. Ask your child what this means. 
  • We continue to work on Matter as a whole group. The Grade ones are also learning about the Seasons.
  • We are still learning about the Rosary and will be turning our focus to the Saints.
