Week of October 30th

We have a busy and exciting week planned for the Grade 1 students. We will be diving into our class pumpkins, counting seeds, measuring how tall they are with unifix cubes, and of course making jack-o-lantern faces. We have a special pumpkin too that has garnered a lot of attention. We discovered on Friday that it is called a "Warty" pumpkin. So much fun!!

REMINDER: Children are invited to wear their costumes to school on Tuesday, October 31st. Please remember no masks or dangerous accessories.

COLLECTIONS:

All that Glam Fundraiser is collecting handbags and gently used jewelry where the proceeds will support breakfast programs in Nunavut Schools.

We Scare Hunger canned food drive is from October 30th-November 6th.

Here is a peek at what the Grade 1 students were up to this past week. The Discovery Centre was open for exploring how pumpkins looked, felt and smelled. On Friday, students worked very hard to write about the pumpkin that was on their table. Ask your child to describe their pumpkin using their senses of sight and touch.

We have reading buddies on Wednesdays with Mrs. Costello's class. We will continue to have our own Library time on Thursdays (Bring your Stuffie day). 

We are wrapping up our unit on 3D shapes and moving onto 2D shapes.

We are learning about Seasons and cycles, day and night.
