Mrs. Blackie - K1 News

Hi everyone, 

We have been talking about Remembrance Day next week and read Tod Parr The Peace Book https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebi3vjEvtMs

We shared in our journals what peace means to them and made torn paper poppies. We will be having a special Remembrance Day slide show and moment of silence on November 10. If you are interested in sending a donation for the Royal Canadian Legion's Poppy Fundraiser, please send it Monday or Tuesday. The Legion usually gives us poppy stickers for the younger children. There is NO SCHOOL on Remembrance Day.

Great Sharing this week, I hope to make a class book of their favourite colours. Next week sharing is a review of Sorting. Please have your child bring in  5 -10 objects in a bag that they have grouped into 2 by a sorting rule.  For example: 5 vehicles - 2 trucks, 3 cars  or 5 hairbands - 4 green and 1 pink or 8 buttons - 6 large, 2 small - just reinforces that we can sort at home and school - math is everywhere! 

School Counsellor, Shannon Toronitz, has posted her weekly Covid Family Resources:  https://padlet.com/baygulls5/mks3qgg4f8ge
