Hello everyone! 

We had a lovely community walk on Tuesday and looked at all the signs of Fall as well as some really cool Halloween decorations. 

We began writing "I see ____" sentences this week and today added a sentence "I wonder ____". I encourage the kids to sound out the words on their own so if you are looking for something to do this weekend...have them sound out and write some words. Please don't correct their spelling to "proper spelling" as this is the first stage of gaining independence in writing. 

In math we are working our way into different ways to represent numbers and focused on Tally marks this week. Please practice at home with your child with tally marks up to 10. You can use chopsticks, silverware, straws, or anything you have available. Please try to remind them that 4 sticks go up and down and then the 5th goes across to make a group of 5. 

Gym will continue to be OUTSIDE for the next week. Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately for the weather and has comfy shoes on. 

PICTURE DAY IS COMING! ON WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 9TH!! 

Your child also received their folder for home reading and "home work". Please send back the empty file next week so that I can send home more games and reading next Friday. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please email me at tmburch@cbe.ab.ca

Thanks! 

Have a great weekend!
