I hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend! The weather was fantastic! As usual, we have a lot to squeeze in this week. This week, our theme will be on birthdays. We finished our family theme, and family pictures have been returned for those who sent them in. Thank you. I opted for an oral activity as opposed to a writing one due to time constraints. As a result, we had a class show and tell with the pictures.   We will also focus on the letter Rr this week. A reading sheet will be placed in your child's reading bag tomorrow. We will also begin to  practice level C books for next week's readings. We are almost finished recording ourselves reading with Audacity. The podcasts will be up ASAP. I will continue assessing your child's reading this week in class. By the end of December, it is expected that your child be reading level C-D books. With that being said, please ensure that your child reads for 15 minutes every night, regardless if it ony takes them 5 minutes to read the book. I marked our math quiz today. It has also been placed in your child's book bag. I am impressed :) We read the questions aloud as a class, followed by them answering the questions independently. Please sign and return tomorrow. We will begin our new unit on Patterns tomorrow. Homework: 1) Read 15 minutes and record on reading sheet. 2) Cursive writing letter Rr Show and Tell: Wednesday - Kennedy sisters Thursday - Kayla Friday - Eden   Wednesday is Popcorn Day Thursday is library Friday is reading buddies in the afternnon with our Kindergarden friends. Friday is also "Green and Gold" day at school. Lastly, Scholastic orders for December  are due Friday, December 7th.   Please note next Thursday evening and Friday is parent-teacher interviews. If you have not yet submitted the yellow sheet indicating a time you would like to meet with me, please do so as soon as possible. Thank you. Let's have a great week!  

          Another week has come and gone. This past week, we nearly finalized our theme on family. We will hopefully wrap it up either on Tuesday or Wednesday. Thursday we will be speaking about our birthdays. In math, we reviewed all week for our quiz. Due to the assembly, we will complete the quiz on Tuesday. I corrected what has been completed thus fa. So far so good :) We read each question out loud, then one student was chosen at random to read the question to the class. Our next unit will be on patterns. Please return Ziplock with plastic money next Tuesday. Continue throughout the week to ask your child to count and represent random values. Also have them represent an amount more than once to compare which is more practical/efficient. We also continued recording ourselves reading (level A and B books) with Audacity. By Friday next week, I will post their readings on my teacher page. Today we had our school Remembrance Day assembly. Our song was a great success. They all sang very well! Bravo! December Scholastics were sent home today. Money will be due December 7th.   Have a safe and enjoyable long weekend, See you all mardi prochain! Cheers.
