MiDdLe oF OcToBeR aLrEaDy?!?!?!

Hello families!

Once again, huge thanks go out to our volunteers who came out and braved the cold weather on our Galt Gardens field trip: Louise Lindley, Emerice Shore, Sarah Pietras, Marnie Rogstad, Jen Zgurski, Rickele and Deb Knox.  We learned lots about Lethbridge’s history and some interesting facts about some buildings downtown.  I was SUPER impressed with how Grade 2E behaved themselves on our second field trip, as they did an amazing job on their treasure hunt.  Thank you to everyone who helped out! 

Since next week is such a short week, there will be no spelling/ homework assigned.  However, I will send home a list on Monday of the sight words we have covered so far, so that you can review these with your student. 

We are all set for parent drivers on our Crossings Branch Library tour for October 27^th from 1-2pm, however, if there are any other volunteers who are wanting to attend PLEASE feel free to join us!  You are welcome to be a driver or to meet us there as well. 

If you weren’t happy with your student’s portrait package from Life Touch, please send the package back for retakes on October 26^th.  Hopefully by then, our class photo will be reprinted and ready to go!! 

Another thing to keep in mind is to please send in a pumpkin with your child on October 25^th.  We will be doing some Math activities and will compare/ measure our pumpkins.  Pumpkins will be sent home on either October 27^th or 28^th, just in time to be carved at home for the spooky holiday. 

I will send home a reminder for those parents who signed up for Halloween treats on October 29^th.  Come check out our Halloween parade first thing in the morning!  Afterwards, we will be teaming up with the 4 other Grade 2 classes and doing different activities.  At 11:00, we will come back to Room 10 for treats and a movie.  Parents are welcome to attend any of the above activities!

I think that’s it for now!
