Update from Ms. R

The homework for this week is for children to teach an adult about our class blog and talk about the information posted on the blog every week. Each student is to complete a teaching reflection sheet to write about what happened during the lesson. There is also a math sheet reviewing time unit words and telling time to quarter past the hour (0:15). This homework is due on Friday, November 30th.

On Friday, the class said "good bye" to Ms. Gashi our student teacher from the University of Toronto/OISE. She was with us for the past four weeks and we will miss her teaching and helping the children. We all wished her well in her teaching career, gave her a card, a pillow and even her very own "Old Red" teacher's marking pen!

Notes for parents:

1. Indoor shoes: Students must wear shoes at all times in the school building. If shoes are forgotten at home, your child must wear his/her winter boots all day and will not be allowed to participate in gym activities. Please send a pair of indoor shoes for your child to keep at school during the winter months.

2. School rules: This week our school had an assembly to review and reinforce the five basic school rules, as our school's code of behaviour. (Please see the photo above.)

3. Lego mural: Lego is sponsoring a huge Lego art mural in front of Union Station. You and your child can go and build a piece of the mural which will be displayed there until December 2nd and then moved to Nathan Phillips Square (City Hall). My son Max and I went this past week and it was fun to be a part of this big project. For each person participating, Lego will donate money to "Toy Mountain", a traditional CTV News charity to give toys to children.
