October 27/24

Interim reports will be coming home on Tuesday.  This is a combination of their self assessment as well as my evaluation as to how they are doing at school at this time. This is not an academic report as this will be discussed in detail at our conferences in December.  If you have any specific questions please email me.  

Our Halloween Celebration will be on Thursday, Oct. 31st in the morning (time still to be determined).   Students are encouraged to come in costume on Halloween but please remember costumes should be appropriate, easy to take off and on as they will be going outside for recess/lunch and we wouldn't want them to be ruined for trick or treating.  Thanks to these families for providing our snacks and goodies. Fruit Plate - Frazer, Veggie Plate - Vienna, Cheese/Crackers or small sandwiches - Auckie, 

Sweet Treat - Gaige,  Popcorn/chips or pretzels - Stellar,  Other - Uros 

November is Family Literacy month.  On Oct. 30th you will be receiving information and a calendar for Fairview's  Club RED (Read Every Day!) Please read thoroughly and keep your child's reading calendar in a visual place like the fridge or in their planner so you can record their daily reading.  Our goal is that every student in Div 13 become a Club RED member!  Our theme this year is 'Reading Takes You On Great Adventures!' Please encourage your child to get a book template to complete for every book that they read or at least their best ones!

Pajama Day is on Friday, November 1st.  Students are welcome to wear their pajamas and bring a stuffie! We will still be doing Family Reading!  This is our first day of Club RED so we'll also have our first hallway reading, the day after Halloween what could be finer than to wear pj's and cuddle up and READ!

Vienna, Gavin, Shaienne and Rodeen all did amazing presentations for their VIP's this week.  All were so interesting and well done, it so nice to learn more about our classmates. Please remember to discuss why they are an important person. Also if you'd like to send in a family traditional snack the day your child's presents, I'm sure it would be enjoyed. We have no allergies or dietary restrictions in our class this year.

Div. 3 & 13 worked hard to promote and collect all the food donations that the Fairview Community sent in for the Friends in Need Food Bank.  Little people really did make a BIG DIFFERENCE, thank you with your support with this Div. 13 filled 2 bins!  

This past week has been fire prevention week and we have reviewed the importance of fire safety, please review this with your families, have your child practise and memorize their address and plan your meeting spots!

A huge thank you to Gavin's mom for cutting all the wood for our Thanksgiving turkey centre pieces. All the students were so excited to bring them home!   I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your families and friends.

Next week an extra book (with a post-it) will start to come home.  Each day I work with a different group so they will come home staggered for the next 2 weeks.  When your child brings their book please have them practise reading it as in a couple of weeks they will be presenting it with their group to the class.  Thanks for your help with this.
