Kenneth D. Taylor - Grade 1D

Tomorrow, Wednesday the 25th and Thursday the 26th are POPCORN TREAT DAYS! If you would like to purchase some popcorn, they are $2.00 a bag.

Just a reminder that picture day is tomorrow so wear your special shirt and brush your hair nicely!

Today your child is bringing home an empty brown paper bag. They have been asked to place 5-7 items inside the bag that represents who they are and what communities they belong to. There is more detailed information on the paper stapled to the bag. The students will be presenting their bag to the class starting next Tuesday. Thank you for assisting your child with this project and I look forward to learning more about my students! -Ms. C

Dear Parents, Your child is bringing home their own version of our Wall Story that we have been reading for the past month. We read and illustrated 'Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you See?' by Eric Carle. Each day that we read the story students learned pre-literacy skills such as pointing to the word as they read, ensuring they are starting on the left and moving to the right, and also beginning to recognize some common sight words and recognizing a pattern. Now that all the students are able to read the story, they each wrote their own story using the same pattern and common sight words but adding their own animals and colours to make each story unique! Wall stories are displayed on the wall for children to revisit as they read around the room.  Have your child read their story to you. Ask them to retell the piece based on the pictures. Point to each word as you read it. Over the next few weeks, help your child to read it over and over. Reading helps develop writers

Dear Parents,   Jacket Racket is a volunteer organization with the goal of ensuring that every child from Kindergarten to Grade 12 has a warm winter coat to wear to school.   90% of donations come from schools. The jackets are then distributed to children in schools where there is a need.   This year we are inviting our students and parents to participate in a coat drive for Jacket Racket.  They  accept gently used  warm  winter coats, snow pants, hats and mittens for all ages . Often whole families are outfitted, so any size is welcome. A box will be set up in  the Embassy for collection from October 10, 2017   to October 24, 2017 We encourage you to generously support this worthy project. It is a great opportunity to help students who may be less fortunate.            www.jacketracketcalgary.com   Thank you for your support.   Student Leadership Group and Mrs. Fraser
