Halloween Day

 

 

Just a reminder that costumes are allowed to be worn on Thursday, October 31st.  We do ask that 

you keep props, masks and scary make-up at home please.  Please send your child wearing their costume making sure that they are still well dressed for the outdoor play time. The other option is to wear orange and black instead of a costume. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Apple tasting update

Mme. Finlay / Ms. Lavoie's class have been talking about the various kinds of apples and the many experiences some of  our friend's have explored through picking apples at the orchard or helping a parent bake that warm apple pie.  As a class, we put the apples to a taste test!  Which apple would taste the best?  The results are in! A big thank you to our research team Gabriel, Victoria and Janessa for tallying up our results

As the pictures below demonstrate, the students were very busy with our final veggie study on Thursday.  The scale was very busy but it was definitely their taste buds that got the busiest workout.  We cooked up the spaghetti squash and they simply could not get enough of the "good stuff"!  They also gobbled up all the other vegetables with such enthusiasm.  It's official, Mrs. Panetta and Miss Bruyn's students love vegetables.  Who needs a prize box??  Thank you again for sending in the veggies...could not fulfill all their inquiries without you.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Wishing you and your family a very Happy Thanksgiving Weekend!
See you Tuesday :)

Mme. Finlay / Ms. Lavoie's Class News Bulletin

The seasons have begun changing and our little explorers have begun their discoveries with the signs of fall.  This week we've been talking about the leaves in French.  A beautiful fotobable was created today of our class singing " Les Feuilles Tombent"

Mme. Finlay / Ms. Lavoie's Class

Thank you to all the students and families that are continously bringing in nonparishable food items for The shepherds of Good Hope.

The class has been working on a graph tallying all the food brought in daily ( photos attached). Through your generous donations the children are learning to graph and count and the importance of giving!

THANKSGIVING MASS

Tomorrow at 10:00 am our students will be participating in our first school mass in the gymnasium.  They will receive a blessing at communion time.  Please ask your child about what he/she saw and learnt while at mass.

SEPTEMBER SCHOLASTIC ORDERS

Thank you to all the families that participated in our first Scholastic Book order!
We placed an order for $181.35 permitting us to order new Fall books for our classrooms!  Just a reminder that October's order is due on the 15th. Thanks again for supporting our early reading program.

Panetta/Bruyn

A very friendly reminder...

1. Library books need to be returned weekly with their bag.  If your child would like to keep their book for a second week, he/she can take it out again.  The bag must always accompany the book in order to keep the book clean and neat. Thank you for your understanding in this matter.

    2.   Please keep all toys at home.  This not only becomes a problem in class with losing them
           or arguing over them but it is a also an issue on the bus.  The students take the toys out of 
          their bags, they drop them, they get off their seat to pick them up or they scream that it
          has fallen.  This becomes a safety issue for all children on the bus.  Thank you so much for
          cooperation on this matter.     
         

Used Batteries
Our school is once again collecting used batteries for recycling purposes.  We want to make sure they do not end up in our landfill.  This is already a worthwhile activity but in order to make it more fun, the class who collects the most batteries will be treated to a pizza lunch. 

Follow-up on the Veggie study in Mrs. Panetta and Miss Bruyn's class.  We received a variety of veggies and the students are having fun looking at them, smelling them and holding them.  The students had an opportunity to use their clip boards to draw or print their observations and will continue to do so throughout the week.  Tomorrow we will check for boyancy...will it float or sink?   On Thursday, we will cook up the spaghetti squash and everyone will have an opportunity to have a taste.  Thank you so much for your participation in this fun inquiry!

Mme. Finlay / Ms.Lavoie's Class

September has been a very busy month discovering and exploring! Through various learning experiences the children have manipulated materials at play to connect what they've been learning.  Season's changing, alphabet letters and patterning are some of the greatest findings the children have  encountered.
