Bonne fin de semaine.

** Don't forget it’s costume day Wednesday!

Masks, blood and gore as well as weapons e.g. swords, guns, knives etc. that are often used to compliment an outfit, are not permitted.

 

You may send in treats if you wish (completely optional). Students will be able to share and eat treats. I will monitor how many treats there are and if the quantity is excessive they can take the balance home to enjoy over time.

 

ABSOLUTELY NO TREATS THAT CONTAIN NUT PRODUCTS OF ANY KIND OR NUT BY-PRODUCTS MAY BE SENT TO THE SCHOOL.

Pokemon

Dear Parents and students,

 

Starting Wednesday, October 17th, we are asking that all Pokemon cards remain at home, and are not brought to school!

 

 

Over the past month we have been helping students sort out hurt feelings resulting from unfair trades and thefts. Also, students have been leaving their Pokemon cards on the ground then coming back to find them gone.

 

If the Pokemon cards are brought to school they will be taken and kept in a teacher’s desk until the end of the week.

 

Thank you for your support!

Patterns

We are currently studying patterns. Here are some at home tips.

• Clap your hands and stomp one foot in a sequence (such as clap, clap, stomp; clap, clap, stomp; clap, clap, stomp). Have your child repeat the same sequence. Then together create variations of the pattern.
• Have fun teaching your child simple dances that include a sequence of steps and movements.
• Help your child to recognize the patterns that are all around – and to describe them by using mathematical words, such as repeat, over again, it’s the same and it changes to.
• Your child will find patterns in clothing, in wallpaper, in tiles, on toys and among trees and flowers. Encourage your child to describe the patterns found. Have your child try to identify the features of the pattern that repeat.
• With your child, try searching for images on the Internet by using such keywords as “patterns around us.”
• Lay a row of nine spoons so that each handle points up or down in a pattern with a core of up, up, down (up, up, down; up, up, down; up, up, down). Ask your child to extend the pattern. Make this task more challenging and ask your child to describe and say the patterns aloud. Make the pattern core longer – for example, up, up, down, up; up, up, down, up; up, up, down, up.
