Today (and many other days) we made a graph on the Smartboard about our recess snacks. Since we are promoting healthy eating at school, children who bring a piece of fruit or a vegetable get to put a mark on the graph. Then we count and record how many in each category. Please make sure your child has a piece of fruit or a vegetable for their snack so they can participate in this activity.
We had a great time at the pumpkin patch this morning even though it was a little wet. Thanks to the many parents who came to help.
We were invited today to come and play the Cardboard Challenge with Ms. Rai and Mrs. Iwagami's class. Their grade five students made their own arcade games out of cardboard. We all had lots of turns to try the many different games. We even got prizes!
Just a reminder that we are going to Aldor Acres pumpkin patch tomorrow (Tuesday). Please make sure your child is dressed for the weather (rubber boots) and has a small snack (granola bar, etc.) in their jacket pocket. Please also send a plastic bag labelled with your child's name for carrying the pumpkin. Drivers come on into the classroom with the children in the morning.
We learned a new song today about the colours of leaves. Watch the awesome actors and singers!

This month our Superpower is Gratefulness. We went outside for a "Thankful for Nature Walk". We were silent so we could hear the sounds of nature, smell and touch the trees and look for beautiful coloured leaves. Then we came back inside and organized our leaves by colour.
Today we welcomed a new grade one student to our class. I was pleased to see how helpful and kind the children were to him. Welcome, John.
The children have been playing this game in music class with Mr. Lee. Ask your child how you could play this at home.
On Friday I sent notes home to the parents who signed up to drive to the pumpkin patch next week. I need all those parents to fill out the volunteer driver form and attach a copy of their driver's licence as well as a copy of your vehicle insurance. These documents will be kept on file for the year so that you don't have to fill them out for every trip. I need those back tomorrow so that I can start organizing rides for the trip. Thanks
