Highlights Students really enjoyed Pajama Day yesterday. The three classes came together for stories in each of the different Grade 1/2 classrooms displaying a real sense of BELONGING.   Students have been really engaged in our study of the Blackfoot people. We found it interesting that women were in charge of making tipis and that they rubbed animal brains into the bison hides to protect the tipi from the elements. Our focus in math this week was subitizing. We will move this concept into building mental math strategies for addition. A sticker was sent home with the oldest child attending our school regarding the Winter Celebration.  Please look for it in your child’s agenda and fill it out accordingly.   Upcoming Dates: November 28 - Fun Lunch - for those students who ordered  December 5 - Parent Teacher Conferences  December 6 - Parent Teacher Conferences/No School for students  December 10 - Winter Celebration AM/PM December 19 - Last day of Class prior

Spelling Homework Begins!!   Spelling homework will be coming home with your child on Monday, November 18.  The homework is designed so that your child will be working on it a little each night, rather than having a full evening of spelling homework to do.  Each week, your child will have five or six spelling words. Your child will write a sentence with each word. It is important that students receive some guidance at home.  Ensuring that sentences start with an uppercase letter and end with the correct punctuation is very important as the homework is also meant to reinforce the written work that is happening in the classroom. Book Orders are due on Thursday, November 21. Thank you for supporting our home reading program.   It is exciting to see the growth students are making in reading.  This growth is due to students reading as much as possible. You may not be aware that we have a number of parents and grandparents who volunteer their time to come in each morning to read w
