Class & School Update - October 14th

This week in review:

• We are drawing realistic pumpkins in Art. 
• We are writing our rough draft bout our favourite animal in Spanish.
• We listened to songs and we had to guess the singer.
• We completed our travel brochure about Canadian regions and shared our findings with our peers.
• We did breathing exercises.

School photos retakes were originally scheduled to happen on October 17 & 18 have been rescheduled to November 2 & 3.  If you would like your child to have photo retakes, please email your child's teacher to let them know. Class Photos will also happen on the same days.

Raz-Kids

Students now have access to use Raz-Kids at school and home. This is a great tool that allows students to have access to English and Spanish books at their reading level. We also encourage students to take the reading comprehension quiz that follows the reading. As teachers we can get useful information that sparks a conversation around students' reading comprehension based on what students are reading.

Halloween

With Halloween coming up, students are invited to wear costumes to school on Monday, October 31.  The costumes must be worn the whole day and must be appropriate for school environment meaning no violent or inappropriate content or messaging. Accessories such as swords, guns, knives, weapons etc. should not be brought to school.  As costumes should not impede learning, we ask that no mask even if it’s a half face mask be worn to school.  Those wanting to wear COVID masks are welcome to. Due to dietary restrictions and preferences, no food should be brought to school for sharing purposes.  While well intended, other non-food treats should also be not brought to school (goodie/loot bags).
