Wow, it is already the middle of September!! It was nice to meet so many of you at the open house. Thank you to those who have returned letters to us about their child. It is wonderful to learn more about your child from your eyes! We are learning more about them each and every day too!

These last two weeks we have been working on the structure and routines in our classroom. We have established math groups and some of the students work with me while some of the students work with Mrs. Gilroy-Beck. We have been building our reading stamina and we have started to work on writing. We have a very creative and hardworking bunch this year.

For theme, Ms. Scherle has been teaching the students all about Liquids and Solids. They have done many cool experiments including a Liquid Race and Mixing Liquids. This seems to be their favourite and most exciting time of the day.

Just a reminder that we will be having Fun Friday this Friday. Your child may bring a game from home to play in the class.

Book orders are due on Friday September 16th.

I would like to get your email address so that I can send you a quick note or story about your child. I don’t always get the chance to write in the agenda and I remember things after your child is already gone. Please send me an email with your name and your child’s name as soon as you can. My email is shannon.sanchuck@rbe.sk.ca

I will be updating our blog on Friday with news and pictures from our classroom. Make sure you check it out every week. I prefer to keep you updated on the blog rather than sending paper newsletters. You can get to the blog through the school website or bookmark this link - http://mrssanchuck.blogspot.com/

Please email or call if you have any questions or concerns.
