Lots has gone on in October, and I hope you have been able to follow the dates in the previous blog. Between the Thanksgiving holiday and those days off, and the arrival of a new grandson on Oct 16th, my blog has suffered. So - for the rest of this week:
Our word wall has 8 words in total at present - a, is, dad, mom, at, that, or, and for. Please keep going over all of the sounds and letters that make them from the yellow "Sound" duotang. We are just about halfway through our Jolly Phonics program. I am quite pleased with the students' progress. We are beginning to put the sounds we have learned together into words that the children can read, which is exciting.
Today Lisa Williams, from the RCMP, came and gave a talk to students in Grades K-5 about Halloween safety. On Thursday our K-2 classes will go to Mrs. Brown's Grade 3/4 to watch them perform a play they've been practicing. On Friday the Ks will go to the Nursing Home at 10am. They should bring their costumes to put on before we leave the school. Friday afternoon we will have our usual activities in each classroom after lunch, completing the day, and month, with an assembly in the Great Hall.
Next week, on Thursday and Friday, our students will be immunized for the H1N1 virus. Please send back the permission forms, signed yes or no, by this Friday, Oct 30th.
