Theme Day & Curriculum Night

Dear parents,

Tomorrow is Curriculum Night! Please come visit Area 24 sometime between 6 and 7pm. Again, I will be sharing some information about upcoming initiatives in our classroom at 6:10 and again at 6:40. It would be great if you can attend one of these quick presentations, but I will also post the info here when it becomes relevant. I think it is easier to explain in person. In addition, your child is invited to come give you a tour of the classroom and show you some of his/her recent work. Please remember that this is just a casual drop-in night. If you have specific concerns about your child's progress, I'd be very happy to schedule a meeting for another time. Thanks!

I hope your child has already told you all about the special day we had Friday. Our entire day was planned around cats, in honour of Beatrice and Georgia, who LOVE cats! Every month we will have a theme day in honour of two special students. The themes were decided on the very first day of school, when each child drew a picture of their favourite thing. Ask your child what they said their favourite thing was!
For our cat day, we imagined, drew and wrote about our own crazy cat, we played a cat and rat game outside, we did a math problem about cats, and our story was about a cat named Caramba. Ask your child about the cat he/she created and about Caramba's story!
Looking forward to our October theme day! I wonder what it will be about...

Friendly reminder: Dictée cahiers needed tomorrow for new words!
