We had two guest teachers in our class today! To start off our day we showed them our best Read to Self, Read to Someone, and Work on Writing. Then we worked on our math rotations. Ask your child what they learned today. In the afternoon we did our words of the week. They are "on", "in", "said", and "weekend" for the grade ones and "where", "your", "all", and "because" for the grade twos. Grade two students were not expected to use the grade one words for the activity this week, but they will still be expected to know the grade one words and use them correctly in their own writing. Then we had a fire drill! The students did an excellent job of getting out of the school in a quick and organized fashion. We finished our day working on a fall tree scene. Ask your child about this.
Cranston Peace Ambassadors will be starting a drive for Jacket Racket beginning Monday, October 26th and running to Friday, November 6th. This is a wonderful opportunity for all students to help other children here in our city, by donating warm outerwear that they no longer need. It is a valuable experience for our students and reinforces Cranston School’s commitment to peace and citizenship education. Please take some time with your children to go through their winter items. It is that time of year when we all realize that hats, mittens, boots, snow pants and coats have been outgrown! Please give them a wash and put them in a plastic bag to be brought to school. If you could list the items and sizes on the outside of the bag, it would help the students with the sorting process! We also accept adult sizes, as many older students need help to stay warm in the winter as well!
This Wednesday, October 28th, picture order forms and Fun Lunch orders for November and December are due. Please send them into your child's teacher by then.
Scholastic book orders for Mr. Soulliere are due back by next Friday, November 6th.
We will be celebrating Halloween on Thursday, October 29th. We will be doing some small activities with our grade 3/4 buddies in the afternoon. Students are invited to wear their Halloween costumes in the afternoon only. Costumes must be age-appropriate, and students must be able to put them on without adult assistance. Please keep masks, weapons, or other accessories such as wands and brooms at home. Thank you in advance for not sending any treats etc. that day.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns please feel free to email your child's teacher or one of the others in the room. For Mr. Soulliere <gasoulliere@cbe.ab.ca>; for Ms. McEvoy <jlmcevoy@cbe.ab.ca>; for Ms. Klein <jmklein@cbe.ab.ca>.
Have a great evening,
Mr. Soulliere
