Hello Agents,

I loved the culture books everyone made and hearing about your family culture. I look forward to discovering connections from our own culture to different cultures around the world.

Here are your objectives.

• Spelling: We will begin working on list L2 this week and take the test Monday, November 2.
• Language Arts: We will continue writing and improving our personal narratives.
• Math: We will continue learning to add numbers up to one thousand.
• Social Studies: We will learn our local First Nations cultures.
• Science: We will learn about problem solving and coding.
• Bible: We will continue our study of John.
• Art: We will lean how to use value and contrast to paint a scene.
• Homework:
  • Read 15 min. I will send books home this week that are at each student’s reading level. I will test them on fluency and comprehension at this level in class.
  • Skip count by 2, 3, 5, and 10. Try counting with objects around the house, organizing objects into groups.
  • Spelling List Practice: Have students sound out the words. Recognizing the phonograms in each word is the most important part of how we teach students to spell with SWR.

I look forward to another fun week of learning. I’ll see you soon!

Important Reminders

• October 28 Fall Colour Dress-UP and Hot Dog Day
• October 28 Hot Dog Day, students get a hot dog and bag of chips
• October 30 Knights Day

On October 28, one of our fabulous local business’, Fraser Valley Roofing, has graciously agreed to sponsor a Hot Dog Day for our students. At lunch time, the food truck will be here to hand out hot dogs to our entire school! Each child will receive one hot dog and one bag of chips free of charge. Students do not need to sign up or send anything to receive the hot dog or chips. If students do not wish to have a hot dog, they should bring their regular lunch and let me know that they will not be having a hot dog on the day of the event. This should be a fun day as it is also Fall Colour Dress-up Day for our students!

Thanks to Fraser Valley Roofing for putting on this event for our school!
