le 25 novembre

Bonjour,

Wednesday is Pajama Day (only for room 2)

Friday is Crazy Hat Day (for all students)

Thank you for sending in your community projects. Today we made a list of how many communities are represented in our classroom -11!) and the first couple of students presented. Please send in your project if it didn't make it in today. Merci!

I will be away tomorrow. Mme Zdrill will be covering for me.

Home Reading begins today. Your child will bring home a book. Three strategies I'd like to see them using:
1) track with their finger (touching each word as they go)
2) reread the book (at least twice)
3) try to sound out any unknown words
-Please return your book Wednesday. Merci!
(At this time we won't do a formal recording sheet. Enjoy some family time as you read. We do the heavy lifting in terms of reading at school.) I will do a separate post about encouraging readers.

FOOD BANK DONATIONS NEEDED

We are collecting non-perishable food items for the Mayor's Food Bank Drive until December 19. Items can include:  Pasta sauce, granola bars, juice boxes, powdered milk, stage three baby food, peanut butter, pasta, rice, soup cans or packages, cereal, oatmeal, canned tuna, canned chicken, canned beans, canned fruit, pancake/bread/biscuit mixes, gluten-free pasta, etc.  Thank you for your support!

I mentioned to a few families that the Calgary Reads Children's Reading House is an absolute gem to visit. It's free, you bring a book (new or used in great condition) and you get to leave with a book. To get more info or book a visit, go to:
