Happy first day of fall!

Highlights of Our Learning:
-We started the day by talking about the season FALL and all of the changes that we notice at this time of the year. Then the children started to create their own Fall book titled "In The Fall". They printed these words on the cover and then completed page one by copying one group-generated idea about what we SEE in the fall. Ideas included, "In the fall I see leaves changing colour." "In the fall I see animals gather food." and "In the fall I see leaves falling down." Please ask your child what idea they printed and illustrated today.
-We worked a patterning activity in math. Students printed their name over and over on grid paper and by colouring each letter a different colour, we are starting to see some beautiful patterns emerge.
-In the afternoon we learned about a Terry Fox. Please have your child tell you what they learned about this Canadian hero.
-Students had music today, ask them what they did in class?
We learned a new sight word song today.  We are focusing on the words this week.  Please sing the song with your child.
