Photo Re-Takes, Words their Way, Family Reading, Pumpkin Patch, Halloween

Good afternoon Families,

Here are some reminders for the last little bit of October!

Photo Re-takes:

Photo re-takes are this Friday October 27 (sometime in the morning). Please write a note in the planner, comment on this post or send me an email to let me know if your child will be taking a re-take photo as I only have the list of those students who were away on the first photo day.

Words their Way:

Our “Words their Way” program has started in our classroom. We have students working in various groups focusing on initial sounds, digraphs, vowels and letter blends. Each week your child will bring home an envelop of cards to practice. They are yours to keep after we spend the week focusing on certain cards. Words their way is a great program that supports students phonetic awareness for writing and spelling.

Family Reading:

This Friday October 27th please join us from 8:50-9:10am for Family Reading to start off our day! Looking forward to seeing you there!

Pumpkin Patch:

Suncrest’s Pumpkin Patch is this Friday October 27. Our time for Hot Chocolate is 11:15am and our time to select pumpkins is at 11:30-11:45am. Parents are always welcome to join us! Please have your child bring a bag to carry their pumpkin in to take home.

Halloween:

On Tuesday October 31 Suncrest will be having their Halloween Parade after lunch. Start time is at 1:15, Parents are welcome to join us in the gym for the parade. After the parade we will have a halloween party with a short film, games and snacks. If you would like to bring a snack for the group to eat, please ensure it is individually wrapped and nut free as we do have allergies in neighbouring classes.

Thank you!

Ms. Toor

Our class will be divided today into 4 teams for Spirit Days and Sports Day (June 2024). Each Spirit Day you can earn points for your house team which will contribute to your team’s sports day total.

The teams are:

  • Red

This Thursday October 19 is Dynamic Duo Day. This is a day where you and a friend (or group of friends) can dress up as something that often goes together. You can dress up in the colours or wear a sign/ dress up as a character. It is up to you!

Some examples include:

  • Batman and Robin
  • Peanut butter and Jelly

Welcoming Conversations, Early Dismissals and Family Reading

Good morning families of Division 12!

The blog is up and running! I have added all parent’s primary email accounts and have subscribed you all to the blog. Each time I post you will get an email to the link and you will be able to see class updates, news and important dates for the school. If you “un-subscribe” you will not get an email that I have posted.

Welcoming Conversations

Thank you to all the families who have signed up for a conference time. If you have not yet there are times still available on both evenings. Please see the email that was sent out to families last week to sign up. The conferences will be on Wednesday October 11 and Thursday October 12 from 2-6pm.

As conferences will be a short 10 minutes please be prepared to answer the following questions about your child:

  • What are your child’s interests?
  • What are your child’s strengths?
  • What are your child’s stretches? (things you want them to develop or work on)
  • What are two goals you have for your child this school year? (1 academic and social emotional or 2 academic goals)

 

Question for/ about parents:

  • Do you have any skills/ hobby or career you’d like to share or teach the class?
  • Does your family celebrate any cultural holidays? (so we can celebrate and learn about it in the classroom)

Early Dismissals:

Students will be dismissed from school on Wednesday October 11 and Thursday October 12 at 2pm for our conversations.

Family Reading:

Our first Family Reading morning will be in our classroom Friday October 13 at the first bell (8:50-9:10am).  Looking forward to having you join us!
