Highlights of Our Learning:
-We continued learning about the "___it" family. Please ask your child to spell and print some of these ___it words for you to determine their understanding of this word family. (ie. bit, fit, hit, kit, lit, pit, sit, skit, spit etc.)
-Today we started new Literacy Centres. Students are grouped to match their independent reading levels. Each day, students will work on a different activity such as Guided Reading, Poetry Performance, Reading Classroom Books, Reading from Leveled Book and Reading on RazKids. Please ask your child what activity they participated in today.
-In math we learned how to print an addition equation using the symbols "+" to mean "plus" or "and". We used the symbol "=" to mean "in all", "all together" or "equals". Our focus today was adding one to a number. Students rolled a 10 sided dice and then printed an equation to match the rolled number plus one. For example, is 6 was rolled, the students printed 6+1=7 in their math notebooks.
-We had music.
-We finished the day working on tissue paper poppies that we are creating for Remembrance Day.


F.Y.I.
-Please send in a pair of earbuds or headphones that your child can use when they are listening to books on RazKids. Since students are working on their individual levels and book choices, it is quite distracting if headphones are not used. Please label the headphones with your child's name. If you do not have an extra pair at home, they are readily available at dollar stores, Walmart etc.
-Students will be attending a whole school Remembrance Day assembly on Friday November 8th in the morning, beginning at 10:45am. If parents would like to join us for this assembly, you are invited to do so.
-There is no school on Monday, November 11th as it is Remembrance Day.
-Scholastic Book orders were sent home today. If you would like to purchase any items as gifts for Christmas or another occasion, please let me know and I will deliver the order to you directly and not send items home with your child. Orders are due by Friday, November 15th. Thanks!

Have a good evening!
