October Updates

Spelling

- Spelling lists were sent home on Friday (orange).  If students find the words too difficult they have two weeks to study or they can shorten the list down to 10 words. The spelling test will be in two weeks (October 28th)

Social Studies- My Culture

We are finishing up our typed paragraphs about ourselves and will be starting to put our poster together.  Please send pictures of themselves for the poster.  They will be returned when the posters go home. Also for those who did not hand in their family/culture recipe please do so asap so we can put together our recipe book.

Mini-monster theme

The next few weeks we will be writing stories, making "reading strategies" bookmarks, learning the song and dance of "monster mash", and celebrate with a monster Halloween Party all to a MONSTER THEME.

Halloween Party

We will celebrate on Monday, October 31st with a "Monster" Party.  There will be games, dances, and some food.  If you wish to contribute a snack please try and make it as healthy as possible.  If your child chooses to dress up there are a few guidelines...no masks, weapons or costumes that distract them from learning or moving (eg. big fairy wings). Remember keep costumes simple and be aware there could be wear and tear.
