The children and I have just embarked on a couple new 'Units of Study' for Math and Science: Geometry and Materials, Objects, & Everyday Structures. It should be a fun few weeks!!
Keeping that in mind, I do ask that if you have any recyclables that could be used to build structures that you send them in with your child to add to our Construction Bin. Items that might be useful include, but are not limited to:
- empty paper towel (or tp) rolls or other dowels
- egg cartons
- thin cardboard boxes (think cereal, etc.)
- empty tissue boxes
- empty tin cans and lids (no sharp edges, obviously)
- empty coffee cans
- bottle caps
- popsicle sticks
- glass baby food jars
- scrap fabric & yarn
- small sticks and twigs
Please ensure that any recyclables that are being sent in are clean and safe from contaminants (nuts, oats, dairy.)
We have Library this week, so please have your child bring his or her books back on Monday so we can prepare for exchange.
Our WWW this week are:

This week is also Kindness Week. We will be doing a number of activities to highlight the importance of being kind and of being an Upstander in grade one. The entire school community is invited to wear BLUE on Friday November 23rd, to represent all the Upstanders and Peacemakers.
I also invite you to check out St. Anne's new blog on Social and Emotional Learning. It is a great resource to both parents and children.
Please find below some pics of some of last weeks' highlights:
