Library Trip Form and Newsletter

Please return your Library trip form, money, and form if you want your child to receive a library card. The trip is November 8th. The trip costs 4 dollars!


The November newsletter will be going out on Thursday or Friday. I apologize for the delay, but look for it then!

Thank you!

Monday is our Halloween Celebration day! We are going to have a busy and fun day!

We have a Halloween Dance and Halloween activities throughout the day. We will also be having a Halloween party. Please feel free to bring snacks. We have a shellfish and strawberry allergy in my classroom. Please refrain from bringing those. As always, nut or peanut products are not allowed.


Costumes: Students' costumes cannot have fake blood, weapons, or full face masks. The costumes cannot be gory or too scary. If there are smaller masks (e.g. eye mask for Batman), you will not be allowed to wear them during class time. Face painting is fine. It is up to you if you want your child to wear the costume for the whole day. They will be having normal nutrition breaks and classroom activities.
I cannot wait to see everyone's costumes!!!

Dear Families,

We will be going to the Library on November 8^th. We are providing the opportunity for your child to obtain their own library card when they visit the library.  In order for this to happen you must fill out the form and return it to the school by November 2^nd. Thank you very much in advance. I have sent a hard copy home, but here is a digital copy too.

Dear Families,

We are learning about the origins of our names. Please help your child fill out the following two pages about his/her first name and last name. Here are a couple of websites to help you http://www.parentscanada.com/baby-name-finder/search.aspx and www.behindthename.com. We will be looking at these websites in class too! Please return the pages by Thursday, October 13^th.

Thank you for your support!

I hope to see you all at the Meet the Teacher night tomorrow from 5:30-7:30. Classroom visits will occur from 5:30-6:30 tomorrow. I look forward to meeting you.

Reminders:
Friday is Pizza Day.
Also, September Scholastic Book Orders are due on Friday too!

Meet the Teacher Night is September 29th 5:30-7:30pm.

Welcome to Ms. Crowley’s Grade 1/2 class. I am so happy you are here! I am looking forward to all the learning we will have this year. 

Some Reminders: 

*Please bring $5 dollars in to cover the agenda costs. Thank you to those who have done that already. 

As mentioned, we can earn coins for various things doing the school day (e.g. following our rules, doing our best work, going that extra mile, and other things). Then at the end of the month, the students can cash in their coins for prizes. Here are some additional ways to earn extra coins and improve our skills. 

*Please initial your child's agenda everyday and support him/her in bringing it back to school. Your child will earn a coin for that. This will help foster responsibility for your child. 

*Home Book Bags will go home at the end of every week. Please read these books with your child and get your child to read to you. You will need to initial the papers provided and return them by the following end of the week. If you do, your child will earn another coin. 

*Math Grid Duo-Tangs will be going home this week. Your child should complete a minimum of 2 grids for homework. If completed, he/she will earn a coin. Please return this by the end of the next week. Grade 1s will get 2 minutes to complete what number comes next and Grade 2s will get 5 minutes to complete the addition grid. 

*Shared Reading Duo-Tangs will be going home at the end of each week or every other week depending on the time we have had for working on the shared reading. Read the poem with your child and initial the page. Return it by the end of the week. This can also allow your child to earn another coin. 

 *Spelling homework will be going home this week. There will be a little activity to do everyday in the week. Bring completed homework at the end of the week to earn a coin.
