Agenda Message: Read orange sheet and read Blog.

Homework: Have your child read their T.W.A.S. to you. Parents can respond and sign. Students can choose to write about their weekend. This is optional. They will be asked if they want to read aloud during Snack time the following week.

Language Arts: We are working on a goal - We must meet the requirements = 5 out of 6 days.  Our goal is - to remain on task and read quietly for the expected time (on the timer). You can only interrupt the teacher if there is an emergency.
Our reward is a Pajama Day on Oct. 29th.

Here a fantastic website that you and your child can listen to stories together - some really great stories - https://www.storylineonline.net

Math: We've been working on patterns. Ask your Grade 1 student to make your a pattern that repeats at least 3 times and have them circle the core.

Social Studies:
We worked on a Timeline of how Canada began. Here are some picture clues:
