We are moving along very quickly these days....
In Language Arts, we have been doing some non-fiction work on pumpkins and their life cycle. And have been enjoying books about Hallowe'en. Journal writing is beginning with a focus right now on letter formation, spacing and letter/sound match.
Our Patterning Unit in Math has ended and we are now working on understanding numbers beyond 10. We are currently playing games to add 1 to a number to increase it (subtracting 1 will soon follow).
Our Colour Unit in Science has ended and we will be beginning our Seasonal Changes Unit.
Social Studies is a broad subject with looking right now at our school community and the different groups to which we belong.
Religion is focused on God's Creation and our gifts and talents.
Home Reading Books have started going home, Raz-Kids and Zorbit Math log-in information have also gone home to enrich your child's learning.
The pictures below are showing you one game we are playing to add onto an existing number.

Happy Thanksgiving to all our families! School is busy, and we are getting into our routines. Soon I will be asking for parent volunteers to come in to read with students. Please make sure you have attended the School Volunteer Orientation this year. This needs to be completed each school year.
As mentioned during Parent Teacher Conversations, Home Reading Books will be coming home later this month. Also coming home will be your child's log-in information for both Raz-Kids and Zorbit Math, along with an introductory letter about the programs. Watch for these items coming home soon.
The scientists in the class are mixing primary colours. Ask you child about Primary and Secondary Colours.
