November 1

Hello Everyone!

I can't believe we are already in the month of November ~ This school year is flying by !

Listed below are a few housekeeping items to take note of:

~ Today, students brought home a November Classroom Bulletin, a Show and Tell Schedule, and a November Reading Log. Please review these materials at home with your child.

~ Please have your child return their October Reading Logs A.S.A.P.

~ Book bags are to be returned to school every Monday. Your child will be bringing home a new set of books every Tuesday.

~ RAZ KIDS: As part of our classroom literacy program, your child is strongly encouraged to log in to RAZ KIDS, our online reading program, every day for at least ten minutes. This program develops your child's comprehension, accuracy, fluency, and expression at their reading level. When completing the comprehension questions, please help your child read the questions. A letter and student information (username and password) was sent home a month ago explaining the program, and on Tuesday (November 2nd), I will be sending home another sign-in card for each child. This program allows me to keep track of your child's progress, including the amount of time they read, what level they are reading at, and how well they perform on the quizzes. Please make RAZ KIDS part of your daily reading program :)

Please comment below once you have read this message and have a wonderful evening :)

May 31st

Hello Everyone,

I can't believe the year is almost over with only 22 school days left!

We had a wonderful trip to the Manitoba Museum today, where the students had an opportunity to view the Planetarium, explore the Museum, take part in a "States of Matter" lesson, and play in the Science Gallery. A huge thank you goes out to Mr. Vernon, Mrs. Gusta, and Mrs. Kanzler for joining us on our field trip!

Tomorrow, students from K-5 will take part in "Career Day". This event takes place every 5 years, where a variety of workers in our community come to our school to explain their careers and have students start thinking about what they would like to be when they grow up! It will definitely be a fun-filled day!

Swimming forms are to be completed and submitted by Wednesday, June 1st. Please complete all waiver forms and if you are available to volunteer during our swimming times, it would be greatly appreciated and we would love to have you join our class. A minimum of 5 parent volunteers is needed for each day. A big thank-you to the parents who already signed up!

Have a wonderful evening,

Ms. K :)

Thanksgiving Activities

In this activity, the students practiced their subitizing skills with a partner where they had to roll two dice, add to find the sum, and colour in the corresponding number ! The player who was able to roll all of the correct sums and colour in the whole game board first was the winner. All of the students worked with their partner wonderfully ~ Way to go Room 189! :)

Daily 5: Word Work Stations

Here are a few images of the Grade 1/2 students completing Magnet Magic, Write and Wipe, and Rainbow Writing!
