It is hard to believe that we have already had one month of school. During September we celebrated 3 birthdays, 1 spirit day, 1 assembly and the Terry Fox Run.
October will be just as busy now that we are in the swing of things. We have 4 birthdays this month! It is also in October that students on school soccer teams will compete, as well as celebrating Thanksgiving. The 18th is Photo Day and the 29th is a Celebration Assembly. Our spirit day in October will be Orange and Black day. This year SJAM’s Scholastic book fair will take place from October 26th to 29th. October 25th is an NI Day and I am sure none of our children will let us forget that October 31st is Halloween. It falls on a Sunday this year.
We continue our learning all day in every aspect of what we do. We continue to encourage students to read nightly for pleasure and to review their school work as needed at home.
We have been very impressed with our students’ artistic abilities. The results of their pastels on black drawing assignments were amazing and their enthusiasm for music has brought a creative energy to our classroom which is contagious and fosters a warm, inviting learning environment. In science we are studying the human body and learning new vocabulary and functions of our own bodies each class.
Good communication continues to be a goal for us, so please use the agenda as needed and we will do the same.
October book orders will be sent home shortly. If you wish to order, please return your order with cheques payable to Scholastic by October 20th.
