We visited Mexico today...well, sort of!

Mrs. Haberman is in Mexico for holidays and we have been missing her! We were so lucky for the opportunity to talk to her (and see her on SKYPE!!!)
The kids asked her sooo many questions and we learnt a lot of things like, there are lots of mountains where she is, it is hot and you need a lot of sunscreen, and hump back whales live in the ocean and they are as big as a school bus!!!
We had a great time visiting with her (and meeting her mom!!!)
See you soon Mrs. Haberman!

IXL math

Just a reminder to check out the IXL website. (The link is on our school's homepage).
It really is a GREAT place to practise what we have been working on in class as well as to go back and refresh on past lessons.
I can look at how your child is doing and see their strengths and weaknesses, I can then plan according to what your child needs (as well as the needs of others). This might mean re-teaching a lesson to the entire class, taking out a small group, or one one on support.

I see a few of you have been on it. What do you think? I'd love to hear your comments!

I hope you enjoy the BLOG! :)

Book orders and PTI

The second I feel like I am ahead of ‘the game’…I find out I am not!! 
I sent home scholastic book orders to be returned December 1st. Yesterday, I received the Nov. book orders and they sent ANOTHER order! So, today you will receive a book order called, Holiday Gift Books. I will delay my book order until FRIDAY DEC. 2nd. I know this only gives you a couple days to get it in and I apologize for that but I want to ensure arrival before the holidays. **Please remember to add a note in the agenda if you want them as a gift and we can arrange a pick up.
And just a reminder that parent-teacher interviews are tonight and tomorrow night. I am happy to reschedule if the time scheduled does not work for you. Please call or email if you need to reschedule. 786-5510 or rheshka@mail.gssd.ca
See you soon 

Needed...

I am asking each child to bring a clean 1-quart mason jar (or any glass jar of that size) with NO lables.
You can send the jar any time...we will not be starting the project till mid December.
The project is TOP SECRET so don't even ask!!! :)

Thanks in advance!!!!

Halloween is MONDAY!

Just a few reminders:
*No blood or weapons on any costumes*

-We are having a party in the afternoon (starting with the parade at 1:15)
Please do not send your child to school in the morning dressed in his/her costume. We will be having regular classes that morning.
-I am on supervision that day at lunch so I ask that you try and find arrangements to get your child dressed/ready. I do however understand that this is sometimes a challenge and I of course will be able to help them out !!

-At the party we will play games, read stories, Make witches Brew and have some treats. You may send snacks for that day and we will eat them right after afternoon recess.

See you Monday...............BOO!!!

SURPRISE!

I hd a surprise planned for the kids today...carving pumpkins to make Jack-o-Lanterns! Check out how much fun we had!
