Hello families and friends,

This morning we practiced our Buddy Reading.  We were able to go for 5 minutes.  Then we watched a video that Mr. Soulliere made of our reading and talked about what good buddy reading looks like.  In dance we had a new teacher.  Her name is Ms. Janelle, and she will be with us for the next 3 months.  Then a guest reader came to read the story Amelia Badelia to us.  We also did some free writing.

In math we continued working on our doubles and did some calendar math.  We also listened to a song.  In science we made a How To Get Your Winter Clothes On instruction sheet.  At the end of the day we had another guest reader.  Ask your child about this.

Next week, Lola will be joining us in room 74.  We will be adding a new job to our jobs each week for the students to have an opportunity to take care of Lola.

Next week is a short week.  Students have Monday and Tuesday off.  On Wednesday, permission forms for our first field trip will be going home.  We will be going to Telus Spark Science Centre on Wednesday, November 25th.  We will be looking for some parent volunteers to help out with this.  If you are available that day please email Mr. Soulliere at <gasoulliere@cbe.ab.ca>.

What kind of lizard is Lola, or what does she eat?  Post your answer in the comments below.

Have a great night with your grade 1 or 2 child,
Room 74 and Mr. Soulliere
