Home Folders and Words

Hello,

Today in your son or daughter's home folder you will find:

- Fun Lunch envelope! Fun Lunch will be later this month which is an individual pizza, juice box and treat. Please return the envelope with $6.00 cash only by Tuesday, October 18.
- Scholastic book order forms! Yes, I sent home a few different ones :-) If I could have these returned to me by Friday, October 14 that would be perfect.

We collected better leaves today and had some beautiful creative work found in student's journals. Some of you may be surprised with a full piece of paper with colourful leaf rubbings!

This afternoon we created words out of the letters we have been practicing: S, A, T, I, P, N. We had some fabulous examples like ant, as, at, sat, sap, snap, tip and tan. Some students were sharing words which I could not add to my list. These non-examples led to us talking about how even if a word may start with an S, it doesn't mean it can be added automatically. For example, snake or monster or pumpkin or spider or leaf. I challenged the students to find words they can build out of the six letters.

As a reminder, there is no school on Friday, October 7 and Monday, October 10.
