November 25,

Dear Families,
During our morning circle we listened to beautiful pan flute music, a student shared her drum, another student shared a geode. Students expressed that they enjoy this quiet time because it helps them feel calm and ready to learn.  We read about the buffalo today. The buffalo was key to the survival of many peoples, They were vital to the ecosystem as a major source of food for animals and humans. The buffalo represents respect. It is a positive influence connected with endurance, strength and protection.   We discussed what we thought respect was and why it is important.

We are looking forward to listening to stories from our next Guest reader. Please see calendar below...

 During our Daily 5 reading and writing time we self assessed our On the weekend writing  by...

• re-reading to see if what we have written makes sense
• used capitals, periods, exclamation marks and spacing
• used a variety of sentence starters to make our writing more interesting

We read the story Can I Be you Dog?  The author used persuasive writing in letter format to try and convince families to adopt him. Ask me about the story.

 Our new weekly words are....

 We are learning to use doubles and doubles plus one as a strategy for addition. We were introduced to some games today to reinforce this strategy. 

WE ARE REQUIRING ONE MORE PARENT HELPER IF POSSIBLE FOR THIS THURSDAY MORNINGS ART FELTING. THANK YOU

Have a great evening.

A few messages...

Dear Families,

As part of the TD Grade One Book Giveaway, each student in grade 1 this year received a personal copy of the book, “My Heart Fills With Happiness”.  It is a beautiful story that is written in Cree and English.

Some students have a Nov. calendar for Guest Reading in their communication folder - we will have a new calendar coming out closer to December.

Our class is looking into different types of outdoor spaces; natural spaces, playgrounds, sport platforms/fields, different field landscapes, and the plants within them.

We would love to have some pictures of different outdoor spaces to give us ideas of how other places utilize their outdoor spaces.

If you and your family visit an outdoor space/playground please email me the pictures so we can look at them as a class and get some ideas.

The current food drive organized by the Grade 6 Students In Action Club has already been a great success so far.  The LBS community has showing how generous they are and have brought in a large amount of items to be donated and that will surely make a big difference in peoples' lives.  We are continuing to collect items until this Friday, November 15th, so please do your best to help the Students In Action Club reach their goal of collecting 500 items! 



Thank you,

Dear Families,

Below are our weekly words.

Yesterday Room 10 read the first story in the series...

The Seven Grandfather Teachings are comparable to Character Education Values and Virtues. The Seven Grandfather Teachings are: Courage, Wisdom, Honesty, Truth, Humility, Respect and Love. The teaching of Courage is associated with the BEAR - The Bear provides many lessons in the way it lives, but courage is the most important teaching it offers. Though gentle by nature, the ferociousness of a mother Bear when one of her cubs is approached is the true definition of courage. To have the mental and moral strength to overcome fears that prevent us from living our true spirit as human beings is a great challenge that must be met with the same vigor and intensity as a mother Bear protecting her cub. Living of the heart and living of the spirit is difficult, but the Bear's example shows us how to face any danger to achieve these goals

This note went home today in our folders...

From Room 16 and 17...

Our Remembrance Day Assembly will be held this Friday at 10:30 am.  We welcome families to attend. Poppies will be available as you enter the school and we thankfully welcome any poppy donations.
