Update from Ms. R






The homework for this week is for each student to teach an adult how to play the game "Race to 100" and "Race to 0". The children even made their own dice! After teaching the game each child is to complete a written reflection on how the lesson went. Teaching something to another person is the last step to mastery of any skill. The children are encouraged in class to help others during activities and it is always a confidence boost for students when they are able to teach something new to an adult. This homework is due on Thursday, October 10th (since Friday is a P. A. Day).

Note to parents:

1. The weather is getting colder! Please ensure your child comes to school dressed for the weather. It's a good idea for your child to bring a sweater or hoodie to keep at school as the temperature in our classroom varies from day-to-day. Please make sure to write your child's name on all items they bring to school that could be misplaced (e.g., sweaters, coats, lunch bags). If items are misplaced, a name inside will make sure it is returned.

2. In the event there is a job action by the members of C.U.P.E. union on Monday, the TDSB will CLOSE all schools to all students for safety reasons. Please check the news for information on Sunday night or Monday morning.
