It is great to be back at school, after a great day of professional development with the Grade One teachers. With our focus on reading assessment, strategies and specialized instruction, we are working towards strengthening our knowledge of a variety of reading assessments and by month's end will be trained in both the RST and Dibels. 

As part of the Postcards for Peace project, 1-2E students each designed and wrote a postcard to a veteran.  These postcards will be mailed to a several Veteran's Long Term Care Facilities across the province. 

In Art, students completed the project that they began yesterday.  Their poppies are positively beautiful and are on display for everyone to enjoy outside of our classroom.  

In Gym, students enjoyed their second day of catching & throwing stations, with a focus on accuracy.  I would say that the most popular station appeared to be the chicken catch!   

Reminders:
- Remembrance Day ceremony is at 10:45 tomorrow.  Students are encouraged to dress up for the assembly.  Each student will receive a poppy and are encouraged to bring a silver donation.
- There will be a Word Sort test tomorrow.
- Home reading can be kept at home for the extra long weekend.  Please return it on Monday.  
- There is no school on Thursday or Friday.
