A note regarding tomorrow afternoon's Hallowe'en party went home in the agendas today. If somehow the note got lost, please know that students are invited to dress up in costumes tomorrow afternoon. (Students who eat lunch at school can bring their costumes in their packs and get dressed over lunch hour.) Also, please send a small fruit juice box with your child tomorrow. We're planning on mixing everyone's juices together to make some lip-smacking swamp water! As well, if you'd like to send something for our treat table here in Room Four, that would be great! Thanks!
In case the day runs away with me tomorrow, I'll let everyone know now that there will be no home reading assigned for the first grade students tomorrow. I'll keep agendas and reading envelopes here until Wednesday; Hallowe'en is too exciting to interrupt with scholastic obligations!
There will be a noon dismissal for students this Friday. Teachers will be attending a professional development afternoon.

The first graders' at-home reading tonight concentrates on short "o" words. Enjoy!
There will be a snack sale tomorrow at recess. Please send fifty cents with your child if they are planning on purchasing something tasty to eat.
Please send an empty, clean plastic milk jug asap - any size will do. We have a cool art project planned!
Here are some photos of our trip to Whistler's Campground today. Thanks again to Alan's mom and to Carter S's mom for coming along with us.

Today's first grade at-home reading book concentrates on the "i" sound. Please return these little phonics books in the envelopes the morning after your child reads them. Thanks.
There is a note regarding tomorrow's field trip to Whistler Campground in the agenda pocket. Please remember to dress appropriately for the weather, and to send a bag lunch to school with your child tomorrow.
We are planning an art project that needs empty, clean plastic milk jugs. Any size will do. If you have some to donate to our artistic cause, please send them to school with your child. Thanks.
We did a cool Spooky Science activity: turning a bar of handsoap into a monster! Here's a photo showing what happens after you microwave a bar of Ivory Soap. (No other soap works, apparently ...)

The first graders are bringing home a book that concentrates on the short "a" sound for their home reading tonight. Please encourage your child to ask "What do I know about this word?" if they're stuck. Also, if they're having trouble figuring out some words, they may read in a halting, robotic voice. If this happens, have them try to reread the sentences smoothly.
Remember that tomorrow is photo day! Practise those smiles!

Please remember that our weekly spelling test will happen tomorrow morning, as there is no school for students Friday.
The first graders' book tonight is called "Witch Rules". Enjoy!
We had our first taste of Brain Boost today! If you haven't signed up yet for a Brain Boost shift, check yesterday's note (sent home in agenda pockets) and you can follow the directions on how to help out.
If you haven't already looked at the photos from yesterday, scroll down for a peek. We have some pretty cute witches in this class!
I'll end this post with a quick reminder to add your child's name in their outdoor clothing: boots, jackets, snow pants, mittens, toques ... everything! It's amazing how many articles of clothing end up in our school's Lost and Found. It's pretty easy to return things to their owners with names, however, so get out those sharpies and start labelling!

There will be a note regarding the school's Brain Boost program in your child's agenda pocket. Brain Boost fruits and veggies should be arriving soon!
There will be no school for students this Friday. Our weekly spelling test will be Thursday morning, instead.
The first graders' book to read aloud tonight is a scintillating descriptive tale about a witch. Enjoy!
We wrote some cool witch rules in class today; stand by for a book to come home listing those rules. Here's some photos of the authors of that witchy book:

School photos will be taken next Tuesday (October 24th). Information regarding this went home today in the agenda pockets.
The first graders' spelling list this week is based on the "ing" family. We're learning that if you know one word (like all), you can figure out lots of other words (like call, wall, mall, fall, tall, etc.).

The first grade students' book to read to a willing household member is "Meet Bart and Martha". Enjoy! (There is no need to return this book to school.)
