TWAS for the week of Monday October 17 - Friday October 21.



Hello Families of Room 51,

We hope you've had a wonderful week.  We've certainly been busy here.  The students have been working very hard to prepare for this morning's assembly, and their hard work has paid off — they have a WONDERFUL performance in store for their audience!

Here are some of the other things that we have been working on this week:  Fire/evacuation drill; lockdown practice; place value and regrouping in math; learning a new math game for math night; visualization in Language Arts (ask them about pirates); learned to draw owls; learning soccer moves in gym; recognizing random acts of kindness in our classroom; we started home reading; learned to log in to Mathletics; participated in Daily 5 each day (went on P and B word quests, Raz kids, guided reading, spelling words and read to self); the students completed eye openers each morning and did their part to help our class run smoothly by committing to their chosen classroom tasks. There have been some end of the day changes (backpacks) to make home-time a little less hectic for the students.

We would also like to send out a huge thank you to Ms. van der Linden for volunteering her time to help out in the class, and for displaying the students' work so beautifully on the bulletins outside of our room. The students would also like to send out a big thank you to Ms. McBride for all of her help with the 'Owl Song.'

Lastly,  Cranston is collecting all sizes of gently used, clean jackets and snow pants for Jacket Racket. Peace Ambassadors will be collecting items from classrooms.  Please send items beginning on Wednesday, October 19th.

Finally:  "We had fun!" was how the students would like to close.

We look forward to seeing some of you this morning, and hope you all have a fantastic weekend,


Sincerely,


The 51 A and B team.
