Hello families and friends,

This morning we continued our literacy work, doing reading and writing.  The students have been doing a great job of keeping on their task and being able to switch between tasks quickly and efficiently.  Way to go room 3/4!  In math, we worked on a new skill for solving word problems.  Ask your child about this.

This afternoon we added our new words of the week.  This week we focused on pronouns.  They are "he", "it", "she", "they", "we", and "you".  In the comments below, write a sentence that uses one or more of the words of the week.  We finished off our day taking a look at some of the information that students brought in about their families.  Tomorrow we will be continuing our work with this.

Each day this week, the students will begin the afternoon with a singing of Oh Canada.  This is in preparation for the recordings that we will be doing on Friday.  Consent forms have been sent home for this recording, please have these returned to your teacher by this Thursday, October 8th.

This Wednesday, October 7th, is picture day!

Scholastic book orders for Mr. Soulliere and Ms. McEcoy are due back by this Friday, October 9th.

This Friday is also our One World Drumming celebration concert.  The classes in the Harmony wing will be performing from 2:00 - 3:00 p.m.

Now that the classes have settled into our routines and we have gotten into more of our work, we are open to having volunteers come in and help out around the room.  If you are interested in volunteering, please email your child's teacher.

Have a great evening!
