Dear Families,

These past two weeks our class has been very fortunate in having a student teacher, Ms. Tina Amir, work with us.  The children have enjoyed working with her and have benefited from the kind, caring and calm support she has given them.  This week, Ms. Amir focused on helping the children with their math and science. With small groups of students, she introduced and investigated solids, liquids and gases by conducting several science experiments. In Math, she helped the children with learning to solve simple math word problems and with their basic number facts to ten and/or twenty. We have enjoyed learning with her and wish her the best as she completes her future classroom placements.

Next week, we will be having a Halloween parade in the afternoon of Wednesday, October 31st. Your child may bring his/her costume to school in a bag to change into for the afternoon (or they can change at home if they are going home for lunch). Please remember that no weapons of any kind will be allowed, even if they are an important part of the costume.  The children may also choose to wear black and orange to school.

Lastly, please note the class contact list is being sent home today with the families who wished to be included. Please check that the information is correct; if I have made any errors, let me know and I will revise the list.

Have a wonderful weekend together.

Thank you for your continued support and encouragement.
