Terrific Thursday


In Socials, we talked about what we can do now compared to what we could do as a baby/toddler.

In Math, we continued to work on our problem solving skills.  Here are the problems if you would like to talk about them with your child.

Gr 1) Annie wore a yellow shirt on the first day of school. On the second day she wore a red shirt. On
          the third day she wore a blue shirt. On the fourth day she wore a yellow shirt. She wore her red
          shirt again on the fifth day. What will she probably wear on the sixth day?

Gr2) Lola went to the circus and noticed that every fifth clown in the parade of 50 or 100 (child's 
        choice) clowns was wearing a hat. How many clowns were wearing hats?

We read a great book called Pattern Fish by Truly Harris and are creating an art project with our own patterns.

Informational Items:

 Please return "Your Special Name" sheets ASAP.  I am trying to create a bulletin board display and realized that some are missing.  We would like to include everyone.  If your child has lost the sheet, please email me and I can send you another one. 

Picture proofs came home today.  Please ensure you return orders by Oct 10th.  Retakes are Nov 5th

Tomorrow is Library day.  Please remember to send the library book back so you can enjoy a new one.

No school on Friday Oct 11th and Monday Oct 14th.

Today we learned about Orange Shirt Day and the message  "Every Child Matters". We learned about what residential school were like for children through Phyllis's story as a child in the storybook  "Orange Shirt Day Story". Here is some of the facts students learned and their feelings on  Phyllis's experience. Orange shirt is about the First Nation children who went to Residential School. The children never got to see their parents for 300 sleeps. The children only were home for 56 days. Orange Shirt Day’s message is Every Child Matters. The nuns did not care about the children. The nuns were not nice to the children. The children did not get food they liked. The nuns took away their clothes and cut their hair. The nuns told the children what to do. The children could only speak English and French. Not their home language. I would want to leave the school. I would feel sad to be at a Residential Schoo...
