Hello families and friends,

Today we started off our day by writing about our weekend...with a twist!  Each student had to include one imaginary detail into their writing.  Ask your child what they wrote.  After that we talked about the Zones of Regulation; this is posted on our wall near the tent as a way for the students to help understand their emotions better and work towards getting into a good learning place.  Then we did some deep breathing and visualizing exercises.  We finished our morning by working on our Read to Self skills, and managed to increase our stamina to 11 minutes.  Great job room 71!

In the afternoon we started by reading the book One is a Snail, Ten is a Crab, then worked on representing our numbers from 1 to 10.  Then we went outside and played some blob tag for gym.  Our day finished with our words of the week work.  They are "me", "you", "on", "and", and "because" for all students.  In the comments below, write a sentence that includes as many of the words of the week as you can!

This Thursday is our Terry Fox Run.  All week we are doing Toonies for Terry; through to Friday September 30 we will be collecting money from students to put it in a large glass jug that will be placed in the office.  Cranston's goal is to collect $1000.

This week our class will be having our Inline Skating lesson on Friday, September 30th, from 10:15 to 11:10.  Thank you to those of you who have offered to come in and help out with this.  Our last lesson is on Tuesday, October 11th.  If you would like to help out with that please email me at <gasoulliere@cbe.ab.ca>.

Have a great evening,
Mr. Soulliere
