CHOCOLATES!

Our class Christmas Basket theme is chocolates, and we only have one donation of Kinder Surprise Eggs so far. If you have time to send in a donation of any chocolate treat for our fundraiser basket, send ASAP. The formal deadline is Tuesday.

Photo Re-Take Day is Monday!

Not happy with how your photo turned out this year? Retakes are on Monday, so dress for success! The weather is supposed to be sunny, so no bad hair day is in the forecast. You can pop a note in the agenda if you are hoping for a re-take.

We Remember...

As part of our Remembrance Day Liturgy on November 11th (which our morning class will be leading) we ask for a few volunteer students to bring something special from a family member or long ago relative who fought in WWI , WWII, or any other war and speak about them. We also want students who have Peacekeeper or Military family members to share! We update a school video every year that is played during the liturgy. This year, we have about 4 or 5 interview spots available in our video.

Check out the homework tab this week as soon as you can! The guide is there to fill in! If you can share something about your family for Remembrance Day, bring in an item or photo by Wednesday of this week and we will film it.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place: and in the sky
The larks still bravely singing fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the dead: Short days ago,
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved: and now we lie
In Flanders fields

Take up our quarrel with the foe
To you, from failing hands, we throw
The torch: be yours to hold it high
If ye break faith with us who die,
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields

Black and Orange colours day tomorrow

Our school will be dressing in Black and Orange Halloween Colours tomorrow! Our morning class will be working on Halloween Math Stations. It's going to be lots of fun! We have a mixture of multiplying, estimation, measurement, as well as using your creativity to create a spooky class imovie Trailer.

Afternoon students will be learning about the human skeleton in science, and finishing their Halloween Artwork project!

Happy Halloween!

Spirit Day #1

Our school is encouraged to show SPIRIT by dressing up like any character from a book (or comic). This ties in nicely with the finale of our Book Fair. Hope to see some of you dressed up as someone! Fairy tales count too! They are wonderful traditional literature!

Raz Kids

Your child's Raz Kids is operating. Some students have been reading already, which is great!

Try to have your child read a book a week and complete the quiz that matches it. Simply go through the mrt.ocsb.ca student portal and click Raz Kids. Our class is there ( ksturgeon0). Your child clicks on their name and pre-set books at their level appear in the LEVEL UP task UFO ship.

Have fun reading!

Class Dojo

We are trying to get all students logged in to Class Dojo during the day at school. Some students are still unable to, as parents did not link an account, OR many students had a password created by a parent, and they do not know what that password is. Please try to write the username and password that you created on the front page of your child's agenda so that they can log in at school and participate in reflecting on their learning skills.

Thanks!
