Learning's Fun ~ In Grade One! October 23, 2017

Reminders - Halloween Party on Tuesday, October 31, afternoon
                  - Remembrance Day Service on Thursday, November 9 at 10:45
                  - No School on Friday, November 10

HALLOWEEN PARTY
We are having a Halloween Party next Tuesday, October 31 in the afternoon.  The children may bring a costume to change into after lunch recess.  Do not wear the costume to school but bring it in a plastic grocery bag and they can change for the afternoon.  PLEASE remember this is a Christian school and make sure the costume that your child brings is appropriate. (NO weapons, blood, masks,scary or gory costumes).  The children do not have to bring or wear a costume if they do not want to.  I have a box full of different hats if someone would like to borrow something from me.

Schedule for that afternoon - Costume Parade  (1:15)
                                             - Dance in the gym
                                             - Recess (2:00)
                                             - Party in each classroom (2:15)

Every year I divide up the families in my class and assign them one party for the whole year for them to be the SNACK PARENTS.  Hopefully this works out for everyone.  If your party day does not work for your family, you can trade with someone else or if you are unable to bring treats for that day, please let me know and I will make sure that snacks make it to the party. 
Remember - The school is nut free and this year we do not have any food allergies in our class.

Halloween - Alex M, A.J., Ava, Christian
Christmas - Dylan, Felix, Harmony, Jayden
Valentine's - Lena, Masouda, Mikala, Quinn
Easter - Rascie, Reid, Sophie, Zoe

End of the year party is free for anyone to bring treats (often families are not here on that last day).

Learning's Fun ~ In Grade One! October 2, 2017

REMINDERS - Scholastic book orders are due this Friday, October 6

READING LOGS
The home reading-logs are due every Friday (the same day as the homework is due).  Please remember to initial each date box when your child does their home reading and fill in the total nights for the week.  These nights of reading will be counted and used for free BOSTON PIZZA coupons.

BOSTON PIZZA is giving our school coupons for free child-size pizzas to use as incentives/rewards when a child reaches their class's home reading goal for each month. 
Our grade one goal is to read for 20 nights during each month (5 nights per week x 4 = 20). 
The children are able to earn one coupon per month if they reach their reading goal!

COLLECTING PLASTIC BAGS
Our school is collecting plastic grocery bags to be recycled.  Please send in any plastic bags that you have to school to be counted and recycled.  There are prizes to be won.

PHOTOS - Here are some photos of the grade one class with their Grade 5/6 Reading Buddies.
(A couple of buddies were away this day so some may be switched to substitute buddies)
