Update from Ms. R

The homework for this week is to write a story about the mystery ticket stapled into the homework writing journal. Some of the ideas suggested by the class were: What if the ticket got lost? What if the ticket was a magic ticket?  What if it was a ticket to see a movie? There is also a math sheet on linear measurement concepts (ex. centimetres). This homework is due on Friday, October 10th.

On Friday, some Scholastic Canada flyers were sent home with the students. Purchasing books through this program benefits the students and the classroom. Scholastic gives coupons to be used to buy books for our classroom library based on the total value of the orders. The orders are due on Friday, October 10th. (Please remember to send cheques or money orders only, as Scholastic does not accept cash payments.)

***Field Trip***

I've just received the last minute confirmation of a workshop with book illustrator Patricia Storms. It will be on Tuesday, October 14th from 1:00-2:30 at the Northern District Library, near Yonge and Eglinton. A field trip form is not necessary since we will be walking to and from there, and permission is covered by the walking excursion forms signed at the beginning of the year.

We require two parent volunteers to join us on this trip. If you would like to join us please email me or write a note in your child's agenda. Thanks!
