Teacher Notes for this Week
Ms. Myers’ Grade One Class
Our Terry Fox Walk was a great success! Thanks to all those parents who were able to help out for the morning. We reached our fundraising goal and Mr. McGuire is now sporting a much shorter hairstyle!! This week we welcome Mrs. Mullins to our class. She will be our Home Reading volunteer. Every Wednesday the children will choose a book with Mrs. Mullins and bring it home to practice reading. Please check your child’s backpack this Wednesday for a Ziploc bag containing the book your child chose as well as a reading record sheet. Each week Mrs. Mullins will listen to your child read their book and choose a new one to take home. As Thanksgiving approaches we will be focusing on how we appreciate the gifts of God’s creation. Happy Thanksgiving to all the “Wonderful Ones” and their families!
News from Grade 2 for the Week October 5- October 9, 2015 Ms Draper
The St Anthony School Community did a great job raising funds for our Terry Fox campaign. Thank you for making a difference! We are looking forward to a great week of learning in grade 2. The grade 2 class is enjoying our Science unit on animals. We are sorting animals into categories and figuring out why they belong in each category.
In Family Life, we are learning that sharing our feelings is important and it helps people to better understand us.
The students had the opportunity to do some role playing for our Read-a-loud called “Should Children Choose Their Own Bedtime”. They came up with some very convincing arguments in front of the group. We are doing a great job writing in our daily journals and using ideas from books we have read to generate our own ideas.
We have wrapped up our unit on Patterning and growing number patterns. The students enjoy using manipulatives to find solutions.
We will have the opportunity to prepare for Thanksgiving by creating some turkey art and discussing what we are truly thankful for in preparation for our Thanksgiving Mass on October 16th. Happy Thanksgiving to all of our families! Enjoy the long weekend, no school Friday October 9th and Monday October 12th.
Ms. Rupnik’s PLC Class
This week in the Primary Language Class, we will focus on journal writing using new vocabulary for the season of Autumn. As they write, students will be encouraged to center on the individual writing goals set last week (see picture). In our Social Language program, we will role-play how to start and end conversations with our friends. You may want to practice this skill at home too. We will also create ‘thankful turkeys’ for our class bulletin board and talk about all the things we are grateful for in our lives.

Thanksgiving. On Wednesday, the grade 3 students will be going to their first swim to survive
swimming lesson at Plant Bath, starting at 1:00. Please remember your bathing suit and towel.

Please ensure that you continue to check your child’s agenda nightly. Reminder that tomorrow
is library day, please have your books at school.
I would like to wish you all a very “Happy Thanksgiving Day”!
Mrs. Troccoli’s Grade 4/5 Class
September went out on a high note! The Grade 4/5 Class along with the 5/6 class took the lead during our Terry Fox Event as we enjoyed a wonderful high energy walk with the entire school to Dow’s Lake on a beautiful fall day. All in the name of Cancer research! We exceeded our goal of 350 dollars and enjoyed watching our good sport, principal, Mr. McGuire, get his hair buzzed in front of the entire school! An event certainly worth celebrating!
In Math, we will continue to look at large numbers. We will use numbers that relate to real life situations and represent them in a variety of ways. Have your child read numbers to you from newspapers, magazines, on TV, while shopping or on signs you may pass. In addition, students should be practicing their multiplication facts to 5 so that they may recall them easily.
In Language, the students have been introduced to “Read to Someone”, our second station in our Daily 5 routine. Ask your child to demonstrate this skill with you as they share a book they are reading. We have also been reading different texts and identifying the writer’s point of view. They are sharing ideas through discussions and writing on how different situations can have more than one point of view.
Here we come October!
Ms. Colaiacovo’s Class
The grade 5/6 charged full-speed ahead into October, continuing the great work ethic that they established during the first month of school.
