Friday, Nov. 18

Highlights:

• Today in Music, we presented our rhythm patterns that we created last class. We had to attach different body movements to our patterns. Ask me to show you what I came up with!
• In PE, we did Freedom Frenzy! Ask me what this means and what activity I chose to do.

• For Literacy, we started to create our storyboard for our narrative. We are going to write a personal narrative in the perspective of one of the rocks we are learning about. Ask me what rock I have chosen. 
• In Math, we did a show what you know for our basic math facts.  Make sure we are practicing this at home! 
• During Field Study, we talked about signs of winter. Ask me what story we read and what we found outside. 

Reminders:

LIBRARY BOOKS 

Students are once again able to take books home from our Learning Commons. Just a friendly reminder that students must return their library book each week. We have sent overdue notices home to families whose children have late books.  Lost or damaged library books must be paid for. Mrs. Barrowcliff has begun to send invoices home indicating the cost of the books. Please help us get all books back each week so all students can enjoy them and there is always lots of variety to choose from.  

 

SCHOLASTIC BOOK FAIR 

We are very excited to announce we will be having an in-person book fair during our Teacher Conferences. The book fair in the Northern Lights School Learning Commons on the evening of Thursday, November 24 from 4:30 – 7:45, as well as the morning of Friday, November 25 from 8:30 – 12:30.  We would love families to come by any time between these hours. Books make excellent Christmas gifts and for every book sold during the book fair, our school earns a percentage to get new books for our library.  

Thanks for your support! 

 

PICTURE RETAKES 

If your child needs picture retakes on Wednesday, you can send back the original proof sheet with them with a note to let the teacher know you would like them to do retakes.  

 

If your child was away for picture day (or joined us as your new school after picture day), they will also need to have their picture taken on Wednesday. 

 

Please make sure your child knows if they need a picture taken so when we make an announcement asking students from each grade to come down to the photographer, they go down to them.
