Friday October 12th

This week was brilliant, exciting, overwhelming, sometimes loud and with a lot of different emotions. 

Today we performed in our Empathy assembly. We started the day feeling sort of nervous, happy, and excited. Now that it is over we feel proud, relieved and amazed at how well it turned out! We worked very hard on our skits all week. Thank you to everyone who was able to come watch! 

Here are links to the two skits that our class created:

Earlier this week we had a visit from the Military Museum. We saw and analyzed Canadian artifacts from World War 1 and 2. We saw army clothes, helmets, boots, food containers and things they used for protection. 

We also recieved an exciting email from Ms. Paull. She asked us to help her improve the classroom waste management systems in our school. Next week we will survey all the classrooms to find out what needs to be improved. This will be a very exciting project for us!  

In Math we continued to develop number sense and practiced rounding 2 digit, 3 digit and 4 digit numbers to the nearest 10. We also continued practicing how to create our own number lines. 

Next Week's Spelling Pattern:

Consonant Blends

A consonant blend is 2 or more consonants that come together in a word. Their sounds blend together, but each sound is heard. For example:

gl as in glove

dr as in dream

str as in straight

scr as in screen 

Practice words will be:

protect      front        craft      scared      trace    splinter     screech     spaces     stuff      greedy

Reminders:

Scholastic Book Order - Please return any scholastic book orders on Monday, October 15th.

Picture Day - The children's individual photos will be taken on Thursday, October 18th. 

No School - On Friday, October 26th teachers are having a professional learning day, so there is no school for children.

Halloween - This year at Panorama Hills School students will be allowed to dress up for Halloween. This will take place in the afternoon only on October 31st. If you choose to partake in this activity, please ensure your child has a costume that can be worn under, or easily put on over their clothes. Because of the high volume of children changing all at once, they won't be able to use the bathrooms to change into their costumes. Wearing a costume is optional. Your child may wear orange or black clothes, Panorama Hills School spirit wear, or their regular clothes. 

Winter Weather Clothes - Please remember to have children bring snow pants and boots during the colder, wet season. The field can get very wet as snow melts. Extra socks in their backpack would be great as well.
