October 9th-12th

This week we had a visit from the Humane Society.  We learned about the importance of kindness to animals and the responsibilities of pet owners.

We also have some new pets in our classrooms! Ask your child to tell you about them!

We learned about the Visualizing reading strategy this week. This is where the reader puts pictures in their head when reading.  They see and think about the story like a movie going on in their head.  We will continue to work on this strategy next week.  Ask your child to describe their treehouse or Macaroni Monster to you!

We did some work with compound words this week.  See if your child can give you a few examples.  We watched the compound word boogie too! Here is a link to the catchy tune!

Next week:
-  Crafting Kindness for girls on Tuesday October 16th at lunch.

- We will be having a Wellness Morning on Friday October 19th.  Students from the U of R will be coming out to do stations with the students.

Please write the word FROGS in the agenda so that I know you have read this message!
