I hope everyone enjoyed the Thanksgiving Day long weekend! It may be a short week, but this week is full of many exciting activities and events! For this reason, we will not have Word Study this week.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, we had our first two TIA sessions with our artist/architect Lynne. She is fabulous with the students and is extremely creative! We are lucky to be working with her. With her leadership, we are designing a large model of a community. Each student has a tile within the community on which to build building, roads, parks, and so forth. Each tile fits to together to form one large community. Here is what it looks like so far:
Hockey also started today! Students were buzzing with excitement, especially the grade 2 students who are new to the program. Students will take the ice for the first time this school-year today.
Tomorrow we have a Bullying Presentation scheduled with the Constable assigned to our school division. It will surely be an informative presentation.
We will also head out on our community walk tomorrow afternoon (our rain date). PLEASE PLEASE ensure your child has handed in their permission and medical form. We had 8 students without these forms last Friday and therefore, could not go on our walk. We now still have 2 students without the necessary forms to attend. I will make another note in these two children's agenda books. Thank you to those families who had the forms in on time! It makes events like this much less stressful.
Within our writing project (our community book), we have assigned each letter of the alphabet/feature of our community to a student. For example, Liz has chosen the letter A for Assiniboine and Ilaina has chosen B for buildings. We will take pictures on our walk for our book.
On Friday, students have both gym and music, as well as bus ridership. We will board the bus in the parking lot and Bus Driver Bob will review safety rules for traveling on or being near a school bus. This will be especially important as students travel to and from hockey and swimming lessons on school buses.
Whew! I am exhausted just thinking about the busy week we have ahead! Sure, every week is busy, but this one is packed just a little more :)
