** Thank you to my wonderful volunteers that are joining us for our day of hiking and activities at Bankhead!   

Coming in January we are still looking for 4 parents to join us on our dates at Norquay - January 7,14,21.  We are looking for 3 more ski/snowboarders as well as one chalet parent.  

In Social Studies, we will be looking at and comparing lives in different Ancient Civilizations.

Monday: Spelling #3 comes home and a final Norquay form to complete and return by Friday.  This form is paper and all parts need to be completed for the lessons that students participate in during our mornings at the ski hill. 

Tuesday:  I plan to do book orders in our classroom this year (I usually only do them a few times a year) so you'll see some information about why I do them, as well as an order booklet come home with your child.  Orders will need to be completed (you do this online) by the start of school on Nov.26th so that I can be sure orders arrive before Christmas break.  * If you want your order to be secret from your child, please let me know how you'd like me to get it to you :)

Week of  Nov 3

I hope that everyone has a great Halloween - be sure to ask your child about their Jack-o-lantern mini story that we made in class today :)    Please also help to support your child's best learning next week by limiting the amount of candy you send to school with them - think about balancing out their healthy lunch with a handful (or 5 small pieces) 

In Science we have moved into our coding unit - if you'd like some information to access at home, take a look at the technology tab on my website.  The hour of Code is an easy site to access at home and try out these skills.  

In Social Studies we are starting a new unit where we will be learning about how Ancient Civilizations decided where to live and how that impacted their lives, with a focus on geography. 

Monday:  No regular homework assignment but additional practice pages for adding,subtracting and estimating decimal numbers for math will be coming home for students to use and practice at home.  

Tuesday:

Wednesday: 9:00 LGMS Remembrance day ceremony

Thursday:  

*Library - books for renewal or return  need to come to school today

Friday (full day):  ** Please note - this Friday and next Monday are additional in classroom learning days that have been added into our school calendar. **

Take a look at the great Jack-o-lanterns we built and wrote about for Halloween.  * You can also take a look at these from home when your child logs on to their Google Classroom account :)
