We were busy this week with many things: learning how to use the counting-on strategy to subtract as well as add; thinking about how partners work together to peer edit in writing; learning about our schema and how we use it to understand what we are reading/make inferences; trying out a new math program on our computers (Prodigy) and discussing how the seasons change.
We should finally have our homework folders for Monday! Our home reading folders will be sent along as well. Please read the letters on the outside of each folder and help your first grader keep track of their books and homework menus. :)
The first Monday of the month means Sharing Day! Please help your first grader remember to bring one non-valuable, non-electronic item, and to be prepared to tell us why it is special to him/her.
There will be no school next Friday, October 11 (Teacher Workshop Day) or the following Monday (Indigenous Peoples' Day).
Check out the Upcoming Events for more important dates!
Congratulations to Lucas and Miyah for earning the privilege of taking home Kola and Darla!
Have a great weekend! I have a committee meeting with MEA all day tomorrow, and technical rehearsal for the play I am in will take up most of Sunday, but I'm hoping to spend some time outdoors getting my yard ready for winter. I hope you get to accomplish both "have-to"s and "want-to"s this weekend!
