We had a GREAT DAY! Our Hip Hop Assembly was a HUGE success! Thank you to all the parents who came out and watched and to everyone who helped practice the moves at home!
PLAYGROUND
Our playground is ALMOST finished! All that is left is the landscaping around the playground structure - which needs to be completed before the children can play on it. If you are able and willing, we are looking for some volunteers who can come out tomorrow morning and help. Please bring a rake! Thank you!
GRAPHEMES
Because our CRAZY day today, we have decided to do a retest of ALL double graphemes learned so far. RETEST OF GRAPHEMES WILL BE ON MONDAY.
Have a GREAT Weekend!

Today we looked for colours outside! We drew pictures and wrote sentences about the colours we saw. We discussed the difference between synthetic and natural colours. We observed the playground and the school as well as trees and grass and rocks. Can you help your child find a synthetic (man made) colour and a natural colour at home?
REMINDER! Tomorrow is Fun Lunch! If you ordered Fun Lunch, your child will receive pizza tomorrow. If you did not send in a form, please remember to send a lunch with your child.

Homework
Graphemes 'ow' and 'ou'. Print five times and review sounds.
This week's grapheme test will be on all the graphemes learned last week and this week. This includes: 'er' as in her, 'ir' as in first, 'ur' as in nurse, 'wor' as in works, 'ear' as in early, 'sh', 'ee', 'th', 'ay', 'ai', 'ow' and 'ou'.
PICTURES! PICTURES! PICTURES!
All picture order forms are due on this FRIDAY. If your child requires retakes, please indicate in the box at the bottom of the form and send it in by Friday. If your child was absent on picture day, they will automatically get their picture taken on retake day.
Family Photo day has been rescheduled for the spring. This is so we can take our photos outside to accommodate our family pets! Stay Tuned for the exact date!
Speaking of family photos, there are a few students who still need to bring in their pictures of their family and the groups they belong to. Please try to have these in by Monday.
And speaking of Monday, we will begin our Tell and Show on Monday. Those children indicated for Monday will present their item that starts with the letter A.
The information about "Tell and Show" came home today. Please note that your child has a specific day to tell and show. We will begin on Monday, October 18th. In the event that there is a holiday on your child's day, they will present on the day after.
Your child does not have to choose an object that you have in your home. Any object that starts with the letter of the week is acceptable. If your child struggles with printing, writing three clues may be difficult. Only have your child write what they are able to write without a struggle. You can write some of the clues for them. They do need to be able to read their clues so make sure you practice.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

New Fundraiser! Winter Wonderland Catalogues went home today. Please read parent letter included in package.

BITS & PIECES
The students are exploring "All About Me" and are in the process of creating a book about themselves. One of the pages of their book is "My Family". Can you please send a picture of your family. It can be a formal picture or a candid shot. Don't forget to include your pet if you have one. If you don't have ONE picture with your family, you could send a couple.
Another page is "Groups I Belong To". We would also like to include pictures of them in any groups they are a part of. This can include community groups, volunteer groups, religious groups, sports groups, or any others. Feel free to include groups that they have belonged to in the past. After all, we are talking about CHANGES!
These pictures will be glued into their books and will not be sent back (until their book comes home!)
We need your old magazines! If you have any, please send them to school. We will be using them for a colour project.
