Happy Thanksgiving!

Highlights of Our Learning:
-Today we participated in an assembly put on by the "Dare To Care" program. Please ask your child to tell you what they learned during this presentation.
-Friday Books are coming home today and your child has completed the sentence starter, "I am thankful for...". Students were encouraged to use their knowledge of letters, sounds and sight words to complete their ideas independently. Please have a look at your child's work, make a written comment and return their book to school next week.
-We have been learning about the "Zones of Regulation". So far we have talked about what learners look like if they are in the Green (desired or expected) Zone. Please have your child tell you about this. If students are in the Yellow Zone or Red Zone, how might they be feeling? What can we do to get back into the Green Zone? (Take a walk, get a drink of water, talk to someone, take deep breaths etc.)


F.Y.I.
-There is no school for students tomorrow (PD Day) or Monday (Thanksgiving).
-Scholastic Book orders are due by Thursday, October 17th.
-Please remember to have your Learning Commons book returned on TUESDAY so that you can get a new one.
-Thanks to the parents who have already sent in a small pumpkin or gourd for us to use in the classroom. We look forward to using our senses to explore these more closely as we practice our sorting, sketching, ordering and estimating skills next week.
-We are still in need of child friendly, glossy magazines that can be cut up for a project that we have planned. Do you have any that could be donated to our classroom? Thank you in advance!

Have a great long weekend!
