Read-A-Thon Week
The kick-off assembly was this morning and we are excited for a very eventful week. Tomorrow, the students are invited to wear their pajamas and bring a stuffy for "Cuddle Up With A Good Book" day.
A pamphlet went home in your child's communication folder outlining the events for a week. Each student chose a book club to participate in tomorrow morning and afternoon. They will have the opportunity to join one in the morning and one in the afternoon. On the back of this pamphlet is a Read-A-Thon Pledge Form. Students are encouraged to ask family and friends to sponsor them for the Read-A-Thon. There are also some helpful hints for home reading and reading strategies.
Just a reminder that even though students have many halloween treats at home to eat, we ask that students still bring a healthy snack to eat in the classroom and leave the candy at home.
As a follow up to our field trip last week, the students worked on a project in their art journals. We discussed the materials needed and waste involved with building a tipi, a log cabin and a modern home. There is a big difference in how much materials and waste we need for our home today! The students recorded this information in their art journals with the art they did to create the three homes in our art journal.
