Happy Halloween!

Halloween events

Remember drama is cancelled this week.

On Halloween day, we will be having a multiage party in the afternoon, where the children will rotate through the four classrooms. Thanks to everyone who volunteered to send in icecream and carrots.

Only 2 more days to Halloween!

The children are getting very excited about Halloween! Between the full moon last week, the party at the Library and the party at the Boys and Girls Club, Halloween fever has hit! We have even had some early treats on Friday. Thanks Lance!

In November, we will be having 2 special performances: one about bullying and one by the Maritime Marionettes. We will need $4 from each student to help cover the cost of these performances ($2 each performance).

On Wednesday, the Kindergarten students will be visiting the Nursing Home in the morning, so they may wear their costumes to school if they wish. We would ask the other students to just bring their costumes, and we will change into them at lunch time.

In K-2 Jones, I think we will eat in our classroom on Wednesday for Halloween day.

Great job today and lots of participation in Drama, Soccer and Kids Club.

Picture Retakes will be tomorrow. Please send back the proofs along with $5 if you wish to have retakes done.

Kindergarten:
*Words of the week: at, that
*Practice your sounds each night. There will be a new sound coming home on Friday this week because it is such a short week.
*Hand in homework duotang and game on Friday. I know it is a short week, so if you need extra time send me a note in the agenda and keep them until Monday. Just please make sure the duotang and game come back on Monday for sure.

Don't forget the Variety show at 7pm on Friday night to raise money for the new sound system and booth in the Great Hall.

Rainy Friday!

Have a great long weekend, boys and girls!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend.

Everyone in K-2 brought home homework duotangs tonight. Please start your homework tonight, and work on a little every night until it is finished. Duotangs should be returned by Friday.

Remember K-2 Jones that book orders are due tomorrow. I will send the order on Thursday.

Show and Tell on Friday for K-2 Jones (9am) and Kindergarten (11:30). If you don't want to bring something, or forget, then think of something to tell us about.

Remember no school for students next Monday and Tuesday (15th and 16th). Another long weekend! The teachers will be travelling to St. Stephen Sunday night for an all day session on Monday at St. Stephen High. On Tuesday, we will be working as a staff on the school improvement plan and other issues affecting our school.

Fabulous Friday!

What a busy day! Reading Buddies, turkey dinner, and Terry Fox Run, all in one day! Great job, everyone!

Have a great Thanksgiving weekend.

Remember:

• No school on Monday (Thanksgiving)
• Show and Tell on Friday
• No School next Monday or Tuesday (15th and 16th): Teachers are all going to St. Stephen to learn lots at our Curriculum Days.

What a beautiful day!

Thanks to everyone who came to drama and soccer last night. It is great to see so many children participating in extra-curricular activities.

The children were excited today to see that the second slide was replaced. Brian worked hard afterschool yesterday to get it up and running.

For tomorrow:

• Hand in your homework duotang if you haven't already done so.


• Bring your money for the Terry Fox Run if you haven't already. The Terry Fox run will start at about 1:10pm.

Terrific Tuesday!

Great job trying to write today, Kindergarten! We all forget how hard it is to write a story for the first time. Keep practicing your sounds and tricky words, and the writing will get easier and easier.

Tomorrow we will be practicing our evacuation in the afternoon. We will walk to the Anglican church, and the busses will pick us up there to take us home.

There will still be Elementary Drama from 3-4 pm on the stage.

Kindergarten:

• Practice your tricky words. Can you find them in a book? (a, is)
• Work on your homework duotang and play your game.
• Practice your sounds. Play a matching game with your new sounds. Can you make up any words with the sounds we have learned.

Magnificent Monday!

Welcome to the first day of October!
It should be an exciting month.

On Friday, we will be having the Terry Fox Run at 1:05 pm. Please bring in a dollar (or more) to support this worthy cause.

Reminders for Kindergarten:

• Practice your sounds every night.
• Practice our 2 words of the week: a & is (Can you find them in a book? In the newspaper?)
• Finish your homework duotang and game by Friday (if you finish them earlier, send them back to school early).
• The students work from September came home tonight. It is yours to keep at home.
