Today was a bit of a crazy day! There were people coming in and out of the school all day for the election, and the gym was being used by this, so our transitions throughout the school were a bit of a challenge. The students did a great job being responsible in their transitions though and we all made it to and from our door quickly and quietly. As usual, we started our day with some Daily 5 work. The students are doing a great job building their independence! In math, we finished up our rotations from last week in preparation for starting a new activity tomorrow.
In the afternoon we started with our words of the week. For this week they are "at", "be", "do", "of", and "was". This is the last group of the most common words that the students use, and going forward we will start adding different words for the grade ones and twos. We finished off our day with our last look at Cranston school's past. We came up with a list of questions to ask our guest teacher on Wednesday. This is a teacher that was at our school when it first opened, and she will be able to provide us with some more information about what it was like and hopefully answer most of our questions! Who do you think our guest teacher/speaker will be? Post your answer in the comments below.
Picture order forms went home today. If you would like to order pictures please have the forms filled out and returned to your child's teacher by next Wednesday, October 28th.
Also due back by next Wednesday are Fun Lunch order forms.
Our school's Raz-Kids subscription rolls over to the new year on the same day that it was first activated, which is not until a little later in October. Because of this, only teachers that have taught previously at the school have an account at this point. Ms. McEvoy's and Mr. Soulliere's groups have been set up now, but Ms. Klein's group will not be available until late in the month. A notice will be put on the blog when this happens.
A reminder that the class website is up and ready. A calendar for the month, contact info, and links to important websites can be found there.
Attention All Cranston Families:
We are in need of 5 more babies, ages 6 months and younger, to participate in our Roots of Empathy program. If you have family members, friends or neighbours who would be willing to volunteer 45 minutes/month with their babies to the school we would love to talk to them! Please contact Mrs. Susanne Jones at the office 403-777-6267 ext. '0' for further information or if you would like the school to contact them directly. Thanks so much! Roots of Empathy begins in classrooms over the next two weeks and we would love to go forward with a full complement of 14 baby teachers!
Thank you!
Mrs. Kinsman (Principal)
Have a great evening!
