On St. Patrick’s Day, Lily and Leroy, the twin leprechauns were looking for gold.  They saw something shiny in the garbage can.  Lily jumped into the garbage can to get the gold but realized it was just fishy crackers.  Leroy was worried because he heard Mr. Trevors singing, so he knew that he was on his way to pick up the garbage.  So Leroy tries to help Lily but it was too late because Mr. Trevors already took the garbage away.  While Lily is inside the garbage bag she realizes that people need to remember the 3 R’s (reduce, reuse and recycle).   Inside the bag she saw plastic, cardboard, paper, pop cans, water bottles, broken toys, clothes and juice boxes.  Lily decides that she needs to get back to school to tell the students about the 3 R’s.  Lily uses her sharp nails to cut open the garbage bag to get out.  Lily makes her way back to the school and tells Leroy about the stuff she saw in the garbage bag.  They decide to leave a message behind to remind the kids about the 3 R’s.  They both go back to their homes and decided that they will check out more garbage cans to see if people are recycling.  Written by, Mrs. O’Toole’s Class

Our Christmas concert will be performed twice on Wednesday, Dec. 3rd.  The first show is at 10:00 and the second show is at 12:30.  Our class, along with Miss Matheson's class, will be singing three songs throughout the concert.  We will be performing our last song with the rest of the school at the end of the concert. 

   This is just a friendly reminder to please not send any peanuts, peanut butter, or foods containing peanuts or tree nuts to school (ex. hazelnuts - Nutella). Also Wow Butter is not permitted due to the confusion with peanut butter that it can cause.  Thanks!

Printing practice sheets that are completed at school will be sent home.  On the back you will notice space for your child to practice tracing and printing the letters at home.  These sheets can stay at home.  Thanks!

Today we starting Unit #1 of the Math Makes Sense program called Exploring Patterns.  By the end of this unit students will be able to sort objects using a single attribute (e.g. colour or size).  They will also be able to demonstrate an understanding of repeating patterns with 2 or 3 elements (triangle, circle, triangle, circle, etc. or clap, sit, stand, clap, sit, stand etc.) by identifying, reproducing, extending and creating patterns using manipulatives, sounds and actions.  Patterns are so much fun for kids!  Ask your child to look around their house for patterns as well as their clothing.
