Terry Fox and Rainbow Snack

**Tomorrow is the Terry Fox Run! We will be running around the pond rain or shine. Please ensure that I am dressed for the weather. Our class will be running at around 10:10am. Parents are welcome to come cheer us on! Look for the Canadian Flag, that is where our class will be meeting. Our class has collected $32.95! I can still bring in a toonie tomorrow if I haven't yet.

Rainbow Snack
This week we learned about rainbow snacks. Ask me to tell you what they are. We learned that rainbow snacks give us energy and fuels our body so we can learn at our best. We learned that rainbow snacks are things like celery, carrots, grapes, blueberries, watermelon etc. They are fruits and vegetables. We looked at some rainbow snacks and sorted them into colors. We learned that yogurt, fruit roll up, fruit juice and goldfish crackers are not rainbow snacks. We will be tracking our rainbow snacks each day and our goal is to have everyone have rainbow snacks in their lunch kits. At school, I am asked to eat my rainbow snack first and then other snacks I have.

Take a look at some great rainbow snacks in our classroom!






If I have a rainbow snack, I get to add a tally mark to our chart.

Look at all our rainbow snacks!
Book Exchange 
We went to the learning commons today. I have a new library book in my backpack. Library book exchange will happen every WEDNESDAY. I can show you how I can read the pictures and find some sight words. We learned a new reading strategy called 'LIPS THE FISH". I say the first few sounds of the word out loud. We get to take out 2 books each week. One stays at school in our book bins and the other book goes home. Please help remind me to return my library book every Wednesday so that I can get a new one. 

3 Pillars of Care
The third pillar of care is to care for this place. We all work together to keep our classroom tidy and neat. I can help with keeping the house tidy too ;)
Mrs. Ly showed us some videos of her dog Kendrick. Ask me to tell you what he was doing in the video that showed he was "taking care of this place". 

Housekeeping:

- The playground grand opening bbq is on Thursday September 26. If your child is attending, please have them wear their red Copperfield T-shirts if they have one. Thank you.

- Our Alphabet Letter homework is due this Friday. If your child has not yet sent in their artifact or photo of their assigned letter please do so by Friday.

We had a very exciting day full of surprises! This morning as we were learning our new poem about the gingerbread man, we discovered that our gingerbread people we made on Friday ran away!! They left us a note, and we went on a gingerbread man hunt around the school! Ask me where we had to look and where we finally found them! This afternoon we went up on stage and practiced our song for our concert this week! We are so excited to show you our Sugar Plum dance. This afternoon a package came for us! It was freezing cold and had snow on it! It came all the way from the North Pole! We opened it up and it was an Elf! We will learn what our Elf's name is tomorrow!

Little Elf

It is the final week before the Winter Break. Wow! We have been counting the days and today is day 69. That means we have been in grade one for 69 days of learning, fun and growing.  This week, our new sight words are: who went what  but  so Our poem is: Our teachers are very proud of us and all the work we have been doing around our reading skills. We have been really good sight word detectives and finding them hidden in other words.  Please click on the poem above and ask me to find the sight words this wee: but, so, went. I am also using the strategy Eagle Eye (looking at pictures for clues) to decode words. Ask me to tell you which word says "Christmas Tree, Reindeer, Santa, Candy Cane." We enjoyed some Festive Singing in the gym today and are working on a story map for the story "The Gingerbread Man". Today we learned what the word characters mean. There are 7 characters in the story we listened to today. Ask me to tell yo
