Another week full of awesome events! Our trip to Galt Gardens was chilly but great. The students were very excited and were real troopers in the wind. Thank you to Mrs. Varty, Mrs. S. Baker, Mr. Sommerfeldt, Cassie’s Grandma and Mr. Slomp who all helped supervise. Our next trip will be to the Galt Museum. Stone Soup was fun and delicious. The students’ energy was through the roof! Thanks for being so generous with your contribution for the soup.

 

Character Education Kick Off

Our Character Education assembly was a great start to our families this year. We focused on the first habit of the 7 Habits of Effective Kids/Students. The first habit is BE PROACTIVE. We had great discussion on things we can control and things that are out of our control. This was a great concept to touch on how we can all create the “weather” around us. Are we choosing to be “stormy” or “sunny”? We will continue with these habits as the year progresses. Each child also shared an area that they feel they could be a leader in. For example: “I am a leader in hockey” or “I am a leader in math”.

 

 

Spelling words this week are:

end – send – well – went – next – tell – help – mess – less - yes

Sight words this week are:

your – into – favourite – nice – very

 

 

Fire Prevention Week

Next week is Fire Prevention week. We will be having safety discussions and completing small activities about fire safety at home and school. A red note with a fire escape map has been sent home with your child. Please sit down with your child and draw a simple bird’s eye view map of your home to help your child be prepared for a fire escape plan. These plans are to be completed throughout the next week and returned to school by October 11^th.

 

 

Pumpkins

We will be doing some fun and valuable math with PUMPKINS! Please send a pumpkin that your child is able to carry without assistance to school. The pumpkins should be at school for October 22. Please do not send pumpkins the week before as they can rot quite quickly. Thanks!
