Wednesday September 30

Highlights of the Day

We did a great job using our individually packaged base ten blocks to build and represent numbers in a variety of ways!

We finished our visual journal page for the books we read this week.  We focused on the Author's Purpose and the Reader's Purpose for each book.

Something to talk about:

We recognized Orange Shirt Day today both in the classroom and as a school.   We read a third story called Stolen Words and learned about how those in residential school were not allowed to use their own language and were expected to only use English. 

As a school, each child received an orange ribbon to write a message or idea from their learning about Orange Shirt Day.  Each class tied their ribbons to a piece of twine which are now displayed in the school hub.

Every child needs a safe place.    Brody

Hope for every child.    Olivia

Every child has a voice.   Marley G.

Respect Every Child.    Jacob

Family is Forever.   Ellie

What message did you write on your orange ribbon today?  Why did you select that message?  

Important Reminders

PLEASE have your child visit their gmail this evening and accept the invitation to our new Google Classroom.  Their password is the same as last year.  Once they accept the invitation, they can access the new classroom which will start on Monday!

Terry Fox Run Friday. You can bring your Toonies for Terry any day this week or donate online using the link in yesterday's blog.

Thank you to all parents who have sent back the Student Insight that Mrs. Kinsman sent to you.  We have been reading them as they come in and are finding them very informative and helpful!
