    Try to have "litterless"

    lunches as much as
    possible.

    Remember to check dates


    for Sacrament meetings at
    Divine Infant Parish.

    September has come and gone! Congratulations to


    the students and volunteers who participated in our
    16th Annual Terry Fox Run! The students also enjoyed
    applesauce on September 25th in celebration of the
    legendary Johnny Appleseed.
    September was a successful month with the children
    having learned our school and classroom routines. They
    have been able to make new friends and are beginning
    to accept and meet the demands of the grade two and
    three curriculum.
    RELIGION
    The Family Life and Religion programs have allowed
    us to explore our uniqueness and the qualities
    surrounding our names and friendship. The Gr. 2's will
    shortly be painting their special T-shirts. The Gr. 3's
    have all signed their class kites and expressed a yearly
    goal on their own personal kite.
    LANGUAGE ARTS
    The children should now be able to track all their
    reading in their respective reading folders. It is
    expected that each student complete at least one level
    each month and in turn submit their folder to school
    every two weeks so that progress may be recorded.
    The students are very good about reading
    independently in class during silent reading time. We
    have also been working on reading with expression and
    intonation in our voices while reading aloud. Throughout
    the year we will build comprehension by making
    inferences and connections.
    Both grades started the year writing a summer
    recount and two different formats of lists according
    to their respective grade expectations. The grade two
    students are gradually moving towards procedural
    writing and the grade threes are working on paragraph
    writing. We are also putting an emphasis on proper
    syntax and grammar within their sentences.
    Their word wall words are recorded in their agenda
    every Monday. It is a good idea to have them practice
    the spelling of these words on a regular basis. Ruff
    Draft, our writing mascot, has made it home with

    a few of our friends and we are thoroughly enjoying


    hearing about the adventures he has been taken on.
    We have also enjoyed few creative stories our grade
    three writers have published through the use of the
    'Writer's Briefcase'.
    MATHEMATICS
    We are continually experiencing math through
    inquiry based learning. The children work continually
    on the concepts and strategies associated with
    numeration. They are learning to represent their
    thinking in an organized manner. Gr. 2 students are
    busy completing activities based on number concepts.
    Following numeration they will be working on patterns
    and data management. The Gr. 3 students are
    beginning to understand the place value of numbers
    and being able to represent numbers using a base ten
    model in different ways. It is important that all
    students practise their number facts using various
    strategies to help them. Remember to check the class
    website for math information.
    SCIENCE
    In Science, grade 2 students are working on
    expectations associated with work and forces. The
    grade three students are working on concepts
    associated with Forces. Both are beginning to enjoy
    the experimental approach and hands on activities. It
    is important to review what they have learned in
    science when their notebook is sent home.

    COMMUNICATION
    Welcome to all our parent and community volunteers
    who will be assisting in a variety of ways with the
    students. Please dont ignore the fact that as parents
    you are one of the most important educational
    partners working with me to ensure your child is happy
    and successful at school.
    Please keep the communication lines open by using
    the agenda or giving me a quick call if you have any
    questions or concerns.
    Yours in education,
    Katherine Shaw
