HAPPY BIRTHDAY!                October 13              Landon

SENSES                                                                                                                          We are finishing our first science unit about Senses this week.  We have been finger painting, having taste tests and making our Feely Books.  This week we will be talking about our favourite tastes, watching how popcorn changes when we add heat, discussing how our senses help protect us and how we protect our senses.

HOME READING                                                                                             Hopefully the home-reading has been going well.  The children have a chance every morning to return and find new books.  They can/should keep the beginning “A” level books for more than one night but can exchange them for new books when they have returned the first set of books.  Let me know if your child is forgetting and needs some help.

READING in the CLASSROOM                                                                                      

We have been working on our stamina for reading on our own over the last few weeks.  We are now up to 18 minutes – HOORAY!  Each child has their own green book bin which contains some Good-Fit books, some books that they have written and some books they are interested in and can read the pictures.  While they are reading on their own, I have a chance to read with individual children or small groups.
