Hi Everyone,

Division 6 has made great progress this past week and are now understanding/following the class routines.  Well done, everyone!

Reminders

**Your children may have told you that we are creating an artistic spider web using pastels and water coloured paints.  If you have not already done so, please send pastels and a paint set in as we plan on using these throughout the year.

**Please send in planner and memory book money if you have not already done so ($7.50 and $5.00).  You also have the option of paying for the planner on the portal if you wish.   https://parents.sd42.ca/

**We have family reading each Friday morning from 8:30-8:45.  Please come and join us if you are available! (younger siblings are also welcome)

**If you haven't already signed up to send snacks for one of our class parties this year, please come by and do this next week.  If you are unable to come to the school, please write a note in your child's planner letting me know which party you would like to send food for (the options are Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's Day and End of School).  If I don't hear from you then I will slot you into one of the available spaces.  You only need to send treats to one party and I will send you a reminder beforehand.

**Entertainment books are due (you can send in the money or the book itself).  Let's be the first class to hand everything in! :)

Routines

**Your child will be bringing home his/her 'Poetry and More' duotang today.  Please read the poems/songs with your child over the weekend and return the book on Monday.

**Some of your children will also have brought home a book bag (the rest will receive their book once their group has read with me, everyone will have one by midweek).  At this point it has just one book inside which will be the one they will be presenting to the class with their group so extra practice at home will help increase their confidence.  In the upcoming weeks more books will be added to this bag which will be used in class and at home for extra practice.

Enjoy your weekend everyone!

Mrs. Roberts
