Hello families of Room 73,

Here is our TWAS for the week of September 12 - September 16:

Our week flew by!  We started with a 'kick off' assembly where the children were introduced to all of the teachers and administration, we read our school book about peace and the children learned about the entertainment books that went home.  Our class has continued to centre around the Circle of Courage philosophy and the children are becoming real experts.  Ask them about the four quadrants and they'll be able to share the amazing ways that they demonstrate, and work towards strengthening, these qualities regularly.

Some of the other things we worked on/learned about this week:  graphing, math problems, what is a 'Canadian,' paralympics, computers/Raz kids (login information went home with them for out-of-school practice), daily 5 writing, word work, story connections/writing, guided reading and poetry.

We had our first fire drill this week and the students did an amazing job!! There are so many reasons to be proud of them.  This is such a kind, considerate and thoughtful group.  We are so enjoying our time together.

Just a reminder that we start inline skating next week, Tuesday September 20th, so if your child has his/her own helmet, please send it along on that day.

We hope you have a wonderful weekend; thanks for reading,

Sincerely


Room 73

BTW it's Beakerhead in Calgary "A smash up of art, science and engineering" — lots of amazing events and free things for families to do.  Today on Stephen Avenue between 4 and 6pm is a whirlwind of fun Beakerhead activities!
