Important Reminders:
-Please be sure to return the home reading bag each day whether your child has read the books or not. Please make sure that the books, word ring, tracking sheet and strategies bookmark are brought back to school each day because we will be using these at home and at school.
Our Words of the week are:
home, name, use, here, make, like
Please continue to practice these a little bit each night. It is most important that your child is able to read these words so that they can find them on the word wall! Once they have learned to read them by sight please practice spelling these words.
Today we:
-had literacy stations.
-watched and discussed videos about the "super magic E". These videos will be posted on the blog tomorrow.
-painted our big pumpkins that we sketched last week. We had a big problem though! There were no secondary colours of paint left in the school so we had to use primary colours to make the secondary colours. Ask your child to tell you which colours he/she mixed to make the orange for the pumpkin and the green for the stem?
-Had our daily calendar time. Does your child know what month starts tomorrow?
-had our class halloween party which included a concert from Paulo Winkleman (Mrs. Morin's Dad), finishing our pumpkin art, watching a movie, eating snacks and meeting with our buddies to sing and take pictures.
Please and Thank you:
-A huge thank you to Elizabeth's mom for coming in for reading assistance, Luke's mom for helping with the party and all families who sent in the yummy snacks!
We could really use more volunteers each morning at 8:30-am in order to make our home reading program a success. Especially on Monday mornings! Please let our room coordinator, Leanne Trevis know if you are able to make it in. You do not need to come each week, any day that you can make it is always appreciated! Any parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles or friends with volunteer clearance are welcome!
Dear Students and family members of Prince of Wales school,
Mrs. McKay’s POWer hour is all about giving back and helping other. The first group of people that we have chosen to help live right in our city. We will be collecting winter coats, boots, hats, scarves, mitts, and snow pants that are gently used. These items will be for Syrian Refugees from Keeler school in Calgary, where Ms. Georg is now teaching. The refugees have left their homes with nothing but themselves. (Think about it if you did not have a warm winter coat walking out into the snow). Please bring in sizes for age 4 and up. Please help out! Donations can be brought to Mrs. McKay’s classroom,
Please have all donations here by November 4 2016
