Wow! All of the students did amazing at the Terry Fox Run. We ran around the pond once. Thank you to all of the parents who came out to cheer us on. We thought about how Terry ran and how he never gave up. We challenged ourselves to not stop and walk if we were tired. As a class, we raised $104.95 for Terry! That is so amazing. Thank you for all of your contributions.
Our class has been so excited about learning who Terry Fox is this week. Here are some of our highlights this week.

Math
Number Sense:
We have been learning to represent numbers from 1-20. This week, we looked at the numbers 12 and 13. Please review numbers 10-20 with me. I am learning to show them through pictures, tally marks, the numeral and word.
Patterning
We worked on a math problem this week. "Mannat had a beaded necklace made of 2 different colors, but it broke! How many different ways can you put the beads back together so that it is a pattern. We learned that a pattern has to repeat itself. We also learned that patterns can be labelled using the letters of the alphabet starting with A. For example, if the beads were Red Yellow Red Yellow I would label it ABAB. Please help me practice this at home.
Housekeeping:
Notices will be sent home on Monday to students who have not yet send in their artifacts for their alphabet letter they were assigned.
Just a reminder that we go outside every day. Please ensure your child is dressed for the weather every day.
Please continue to send in rainbow snacks with your child so that they can fuel their bodies and brains to learn at the best. We continue to track how many rainbow snacks are brought in. You can have your child shop for rainbow snacks this weekend when you go grocery shopping!
Upcoming Dates:
Clay for Kids activity in school - Thursday October 17. Please check your e-mails in the next week for a notice about this activity and the fees due.
