Remembrance Day

**Tomorrow (Wednesday) is library and home reading book exchange day

Hello Families,
Once again we will be collecting for the Veterans Association Food Bank to show our support and appreciation for those who have served our country.  We will be collecting non-perishable food items during the month of November at the school. Feel free to make your donation when you come for Parent Teacher Interviews if that is convenient. There will be a donation box by the front entrance. You can also make a financial donation. Cheques can be made out to the Veterans Association Food Bank. Interac e-transfers can be sent to info.vafb@gmail.com. Please also send a separate email with your security question and answer so they may access the donation funds. For more information on this incredible organization use the following link:
If you are free, please join us for our Remembrance Day Assembly where our grade 4s will be performing.  It will be held at 10:30 on November 8th in the school gymnasium. Any students who participate in service groups (scouts, brownies, cadets) are encouraged to wear their uniforms for the assembly.

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 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.
