September 16, 2008

Word of the day: initial (If this word looks familiar, it should. At the end of every ten words we go back and review the words we've had.)

Congratulations to the whole class for their wonderful work collecting "hellos" in different languages!!! Well done!

This Thursday our class is going to the Thrift Shop in the basement of the United Church to purchase scarecrow-making supplies. We will walk over to the church at 10:00 and should return by recess. Please send a quarter with your child, if possible, to help pay for the clothing. If there's anyone who would like to help build the scarecrows, we'll be making them right after recess and we'd certainly appreciate an extra hand or two. If you are willing and able to assist, please jot a note in your child's agenda and I'll give you a call. Thanks. We'll let everyone know when the scarecrows are ready for public viewing...stay tuned.

Please ask your child to tell you about the brainbuster of the day...your challenge is to figure out how to move a fox, a duck and a bag of grain in a boat across a river one at a time so that the fox doesn't eat the duck and the duck doesn't eat the grain.... and congratulations to Giela for figuring this one out!
