Hello families and friends,

We started off our day today working on our Important Thing About Me writing.  We practiced doing some editing.  Ask your child what this means.  Then we went down to the Learning Commons to switch out our books.  We are allowed to have 2 books out at a time.  The books need to be brought back after 2 weeks.  After that we had a snack, then we did reading.  We practiced our Read to Self skills first, and we almost made 15 minutes but we were interrupted by Picture Day.  Ask your child about that.  When we came back we continued our reading and practiced our Read to Someone skills.

After lunch we started doing some art for the upcoming holiday, Thanksgiving!  We will be finishing this up tomorrow.  What are some things that you are thankful for?  Post you answers in the comments below.  Then we did the /a/ sound in our word work.  Why is this letter/sound special?  "It is the first letter in the alphabet and also one of our vowel sounds (HC)".  Then we did some Cosmic Kids Yoga in gym.  Then we had a snack and did the blog at the end of the day.

No Inline Skating this week.  Our next lesson is next Tuesday, October 11th.  Don't forget your helmet and socks!  Also, if you are able to volunteer to help out that day please email Mr. Soulliere at <gasoulliere@cbe.ab.ca>.

We have a long weekend coming up.  No school for the students on Friday, and Monday is a holiday.

Have a wonderful Wednesday,
Mr. Soulliere and Room 71.
