November 7th, 2016

Hello families and friends,

This morning we started with writer's workshop.  We talked about what to do if you are not sure how to spell a word.  Then we wrote about our weekend and did author's chair.  We continued working on giving feedback using 1 compliment, 1 critique, and 1 question.  Then we played a game where we practiced showing and reading body language.  They had a lot of fun with this.  We finished off our morning working on our Read to Self and Read to Someone skills.

In the afternoon we did our words of the week.  They are "eat", "thank", "try", and "stop" for grade ones, and "walk", "call", "draw", and "start" for grade twos.  After that we did some work with the hundred charts.  First we played a game of Race to 100, then we worked on number recognition and using the hundred chart for counting.  We finished off our day with gym.

Cranston School is joining with the Veterans Food Bank to collect non-perishable food items, as well as cash donations to purchase  Co-op gift cards for veterans to use to purchase fresh produce and meats.  We will be collecting donations until November 15th, so please send in what you can.  If your child is in rooms 54, 55, or 82, and you are planning to attend our Remembrance Day celebration on November 10th, we ask that you bring a donation to support this cause.  Our school goal is to fill all 4 boxes that were sent for the food drive, but we will always welcome more!  If you are able to make a cash donation, even if it is only your spare change, we will have a jar in the office for students to add to.  Thank you for all of your support!!!

Have a great evening,
Mr. Soulliere
