Johannes&#8217; family would like to celebrate with a Pizza Party. I recommend still packing a snack and lunch on this day and the class will enjoy a special treat. We are very excited to celebrate!<\/p>\n<p>Thank you to families who have been checking in with me for birthdays. We currently have <strong>21<\/strong> students. I will be sending home a class list with names for families sometime this week.<\/p>\n<h2>Division 11 Class Charter<\/h2>\n<p>Attached is our Class Charter that we created as a class after many discussions on what we want our classroom to look, sound and feel like. This is something we will refer to as we create our classroom community.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1491\" src=\"http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/toorc\/files\/2025\/09\/Untitled-design-225x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/toorc\/files\/2025\/09\/Untitled-design-225x300.png 225w, http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/toorc\/files\/2025\/09\/Untitled-design.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n<article id=\"post-1215\" class=\"post-1215 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized\">\n<h2 class=\"entry-content\">Orange Shirt Day and National Day for Truth and Reconciliation:<\/h2>\n<p class=\"entry-content\">A reminder that Monday is Orange Shirt Day.

It is a safe spot for notices and a great tool to enhance organization, planning and communication. Each week take a look in the planner for your child\u2019s words of the week. They will be posted on the right hand side beside Saturday and Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>As everyone is at different levels in the class in regards to literacy skills, here are some ways you can work on the 5 words each week:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>sight word recognition<\/li>\n<li>spelling<\/li>\n<li>writing the words into sentences<\/li>\n<li>create a story using all 5 words orally or in written form<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>At the end of each week I would like to start doing a mini white board spelling task to go over these words.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<h2>Library:<\/h2>\n<p>Division 11&#8217;s Library will be on Tuesdays with our Librarian Ms. Ho. Each week I encourage students in my class to take 2 books that are just right for them and 1 book that a family member can read. A total of 3 books can be taken out of the Library under one account. Below are the images I use to help support students decide what books are right for them and their development.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1211\" src=\"http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/toorc\/files\/2024\/09\/2397514_orig-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/toorc\/files\/2024\/09\/2397514_orig-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/toorc\/files\/2024\/09\/2397514_orig.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1212\" src=\"http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/toorc\/files\/2024\/09\/3720871-300x233.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"233\" srcset=\"http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/toorc\/files\/2024\/09\/3720871-300x233.jpg 300w, http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/toorc\/files\/2024\/09\/3720871.jpg 330w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Outdoor Classroom:<\/h2>\n<p>Division 11 will be exploring and making connections to our curriculum outside. Every Thursday please ensure your child is prepared to go outdoors rain or shine. When it begins to rain I recommend rain gear such as boots, waterproof pants, water proof jacket and extra socks!<\/p>\n<h2>Inside Shoes:<\/h2>\n<p>As the weather is starting to change each student in Division 11 will need indoor shoes. It is not only a way to keep our feet dry after going outside but it also keeps our classroom, hallways, Music room, Library, gym and carpet clean to sit on throughout the day. Let&#8217;s all work together to keep our classroom and community clean.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Friday September 26- School Supplies and Planner Payments Due<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><b>Monday September 29-<\/b>\u00a0Orange Shirt Day<\/p>\n<p><b>Tuesday September 30-<\/b> Truth and Reconciliation Day (no school)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Friday October 3<\/strong>&#8211; Individual Photo Day<\/p>\n<p><b>Wednesday October 8-<\/b>\u00a0Parents as Partners Conversations<\/p>\n<p><b>Thursday October 9- Early Dismissal 2pm<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Thursday October 9-<\/b>\u00a0Parents as Partners Conversations<\/p>\n<p><b>Monday October 13-<\/b>\u00a0Thanksgiving (no school)<\/p>\n<p><b>Friday October 24-<\/b>\u00a0Pro-D-Day (no school for students)<\/p>\n<p>Thank you,<\/p>\n<p>Ms. Ciolfitto<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good morning families, Just a couple reminders about some upcoming events this week and the rest of September.
