Dear Parents,
On Thursday the 11th of October, I would like to do the magnet centres with my class.  For this I would like at least 5 Parent Volunteers.  Please do let me know as soon as possible, if you can volunteer from 9am to 11am on this day.
Many thanks
Have an excellent Thanksgiving and long weekend with your families!
Warm regards
Mme Amrita

What will we learn about in October?
French Language Arts: We will work on our writing and speaking skills through our new theme, “C’est l’halloween”. Here is a great website to visit for extra French reading activities : http://www.duplaisiralire.com/
English Language Arts: We will be starting the novel “Charlotte’s Web” by E. B. White. We will study vocabulary, make predictions about the story as we read along and do multiple choice activities.
Math: We will continue to practice our number sense up to 100. We will focus on the following: identifying odd and even numbers; counting by 2’s, 5’s and 10’s; identifying place value and representing numbers using “tens” and “ones” blocks. We will also review addition and subtraction strategies with answers to 18. Here are some great websites to practice number sense:
Social Studies: We will be exploring the landforms and geography of Iqaluit, Saskatoon and Meteghan. You could assist your child with this at home by looking at pictures of each of these communities at the Library or online.
Science: We will conclude learning about spiders.
Health: We will continue exploring safety and healthy habits. 
Art: This month, we will create art pieces for Thanksgiving and Halloween.  We encourage your child to bring an old t-shirt to be worn over clothes while water color painting.
Religion: The students will be introduced to The Apostles’ Creed and begin to understand the four parts of the Mass.
Have a good day!
