Thanks for checking in on the blog! We had a really great first full week in Grade 1 as we've started up the curriculum and have lots to look forward to.
By now you should have recieved a Class Phone List and a Show and Share schedule. It occured to me after typing up and photocopying the phone list that there's a good chance I may have made a mistake in a phone number! If I did, PLEASE let me know and I can fix it right away! The Show and Share schedule will take us right into the Spring. Please take a moment to look through, and see when your student's Show and Share dates are. If it's helpful, you could copy all their dates into their agendas.
Speaking of their Agendas, just a reminder that I will keep their agendas at school on Fridays, as students won't have home reading on the weekend when the program starts up.
Have you heard of the Daily Five? Perhaps you've seen somethings on Pinterest, and have been wondering what it is...? The Daily Five is a framework used to teach Reading and Writing. The internet is FULL of information about the Daily Five, but I wanted to send a link to you that puts the framework in a nutshell. This week, we will learn about the first element called Read to Self.

Information on the Terry Fox Walk was sent home today as well! We are walking over to Nicholas Sheran Lake on Friday. We leave right after OCanada, and are expected to return around 10:30. Please have your students dressed for the weather, and with good walking shoes! Students are encouraged to wear our MMH colours, blue and yellow!
If you're able to walk with us on that morning, please come! If you'd rather not walk, or have little siblings with you, you also could meet us at Nicholas Sheran to cheer us on as we do our lap. If you're able to come and help, you could fill out the sheet and have your student hand it in on Monday, or just fire me off an email sometime before Friday.
That's all for now! Thank you for your support as we kick off an exciting new school year!
Enjoy your weekends!
