Looking Ahead to Next Week

I will be sending home a paper copy of November's recommended 'Homework' calendar, as well as an assessment I completed with the children on their knowledge of the Word Wall Words (WWW) we've studied so far this year.

I hope many of you were able to join the other Lion's in the gym on Friday night and celebrate Halloween. I hear it was quite the event. Our WWW for this upcoming week support the excitement of the Halloween 'season', and I look forward to having the children use these words in their discussions and writings about Halloween (my favourite holiday)!
