Well I hope everyone enjoyed the extra hour of sleep yesterday, I sure did!

We started today with 2 new routines.  The first is reviewing 10 sight words and 10 keys everyday until we show mastery.  We are doing this with the help of online flashcards.  Here are this weeks words and keys.


The second new routine is checking the weather every day and recording it.  We will be using the Weather Network online to do this.  Don't be surprised if your child wants to check it in the morning before coming to school.

In Religion today we read the scripture Mark 10: 13:16.

The Little Children and Jesus

¹³ People were bringing little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them, but the disciples rebuked them. ¹⁴ When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. ¹⁵ Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” ¹⁶ And he took the children in his arms, placed his hands on them and blessed them.

Here is a little modern day video version.

In math today we talked about different ways to represent numbers in groups.  Here are some examples:

In Science we started to focus on the season of Fall, otherwise known as Autumn.  We learned a couple things that happen in Fall:

1. Evergreen trees do not change colour, they stay green.
2. Squirrels collect acorns to store for the winter.
3. The leaves on the trees change colours and then fall off.

Have a great night!
