Hello families and friends,
Today we started off with our calendar math, where we represent the date in as many ways as we can (today, the number 14). After that the students had an opportunity to share what they had done, and we started a list of all the different ways of representing that we came up with including using the number, pictures, a number line, addition, subtraction, tally marks, and a pattern. Ask your child which ways they used. Then we went outside to practice where our class will go in case of an emergency when we would need to evacuate the building, and took a walk around the field looking for signs that fall is coming. We saw leaves changing colours and falling off trees, and birds migrating.
In the afternoon we practiced our skip counting and added more to our temperature graph during our calendar work, then HT read our afternoon story to the rest of the class. The students also had some time to work on designing the front cover of their visual journals, and then we worked on the /b/ sound in our word work. Their challenge today was to write a sentence that used at least 3 words starting with the /b/ sound. After that we had our first fire drill of the year! We did an excellent job of making our way out the field quickly and safely. Then in gym we did some more work with the parachute. At the end of the day we handed out some sheets and then had a class discussion about Lola. What facts have you learned about Lola so far this year? Write your answer in the comments below.
Please remember to return any medical, fee payment, consent to post, and demographic forms as soon as possible with any corrections that need to be made. All consent forms for inline skating also need to be in before the end of the week. If you are able to volunteer to help out for any of the days that our class is participating in this, please email me at <gasoulliere@cbe.ab.ca>.
Raz-Kids login information will be sent home soon. For those students that were with me last year, your information will have remained the same and you should still be able to access it in the same way. Mathletics login information will likely be available closer to the end of September or early October.
Have a wonderful Wednesday,
Mr. Soulliere

Leopard geckos are not like other geckos. They have claws instead of sticky pads. They are cold blooded. That means they can't heat their bodies. Kyron
We learned that she is a leopard gecko. She stores food in her tail. She has to be in hot weather or that is not good. Lola also has claws instead of sticky feet. Fiona
Lola needs to live in a warm environment. She can get scared by loud noises or to many people. Taryn Z
