November 22nd, 2016

Hello families and friends,

Yesterday we read the story "Andrew's Loose Tooth" by Robert Munsch, and then worked on a retell using 'first', 'next', 'then', and 'last'.  We worked on finishing it up today.  Then we continued practicing our Read to Self and Read to Someone skills.  We finished our morning yesterday with our words of the week.  Our words for this week are "came", "for", "said", "weekend", and "at" for all students.  This morning we finished by watching a video about hibernation.  We talked about what we remember from last week and some of the animals that hibernate.  Then we started writing some facts about hibernation.  In the afternoon we have started by using our representation skills that we have learned in math to show how we can solve some addition problems.  We used a number line, ten frames, and an array.  We ended our day with gym and music.

Words for the songs for our Christmas concert went home last week.  Please email me at <gasoulliere@cbe.ab.ca> if your child did not get a copy.

Scholastic Book orders are due back by this Friday, November 25th.

A reminder that parent teacher conferences are this Thursday evening and Friday morning.  If you have not already booked a time for this you can do so from My CBE Account.  Due to conferences, there is no school on Friday.

Help us bring some Christmas joy to our city’s homeless
The Fill a Sock, Fill a Need campaign provides a Christmas “stocking” of essential needs and small personal items to those in need.
We are asking each student to donate $5 (or more J) to help fill socks to be donated to the Drop In Centre.  If possible, we would also ask students to donate a pair of new, warm, adult sized socks.
We strongly encourage students to earn their donation money by doing chores around the house - shoveling snow, taking out the garbage…etc.
We will be collecting money from students between November 21st and December 1st.  We will also be collecting cash donations during Parent Teacher Interviews. 

Have a great afternoon,
Mr. Soulliere
