Week of Sept 23

A quick note - if you have chosen in the FOIP section of your demographics to not allow your child to have their work with their name shared, or photos, please be sure to have that conversation with your child as well so that they understand when they are asked to step away or when their work isn't shared on our website.  

Monday: Spelling #2 comes home

Tuesday:

Wednesday:

*Library - books for renewal or return should be back in the morning

Orange shirt day at LGMS - please ask your child what activities they have been participating in class this week leading up to this important day.

Week of: Sept. 16

Monday: Math weekly #1 comes home.  

There are 5 short math questions to complete.  Students are welcome to work independently or with parent support.  They are asked to show their work.  When finished they can come back to the class (Friday is the final day to hand them in, but any day before that is fine :)

Tuesday: Please talk to your child about the LGMS Student Senate position.  Would they be a great representative and voice on this council? If so, they need a speech prepared to share Wednesday morning with their classmates.

Wednesday: Student senate speeches

Terry Fox run in the morning.  Please send in a twoonie with your child as we are collecting Twoonies for Terry, or make a larger donation online to the Terry Fox Association at https://schools.terryfox.ca/72172 

Students should be dressed for running with good shoes and weather appropriate clothing.

  Week of September 9 

Monday: Students should be bringing their school photos home in their agenda tonight.  

They should also have their spelling duotang.  Over the course of this week the  homework expectation is that students complete their spelling assignment in their Spelling duotang on the page provided (the explanation and the two steps are at the top of the page) and practice their 10 words.   On Friday they need to be prepared to hand in their work and do their test.

Tuesday:

Wednesday:  We will be designing and beginning to build wind vanes if you have any of the following items that you can sent with your child Wednesday it would be very helpful.  

Items needed:  heavy cardboard (cut into squares or rectangles about the size of a book), a flat rock (think rundle stone that's very flat - only the size of a hand), a tin can, wooded skewers (like the ones for BBQ), pen/marker lids

Thursday:  LGMS open house from 6:00-7:00.  Come take a look around at our school and classroom, introduce yourself to me or ask questions, and maybe even stay to join parent council at 7:00.  I hope to see you then!

Friday:  Spelling Assignment #1 due

  Week of: Sept. 3

Monday:  No school - I hope you all enjoyed the nice weekend weather!

Tuesday: For spelling, we have just completed our leveling test this morning.  I have three levels in my class and each student will be assigned to a level (I use colours for their group) based on their spelling ability.  Their level can change during the year based on parent preference, conversations with students, or what I am seeing for need.  Next week on Monday your child will bring home their spelling duotang (it will have their group in it)  with their word list and pre-test.  There will be a short homework activity to complete in their duotang as well as studying the words to be completed before Friday.  

Wednesday:  Fire drill/evacuation practice

Thursday:  All parent permission forms for canoeing next week should now be completed online

Friday:  no homework this week

** Update - unfortunately our canoeing trip that was coming up next week has had to be cancelled.  We are all very sad about this but we'll be building some weather instruments in science next week and still have our Terry Fox run coming on the 20th to look forward to **
