Today we all got together in the gym to watch each others' dances! It was awesome to see our friends, siblings, and Grade 3 Buddies! A BIG thank you to our Parent Council for supporting our SoundKreations residency. We all enjoyed our time learning with Keston.
We wrote in our home journals today as well. Don't forget to read it with me and write me a note back. We have been working on trying to write 3 sentences, adding in some details about our week at school. For example, This week in music we played the Xylophones. We played high and low notes. We also sang a song!
Students are encouraged to use their "Grade 1 best guess spelling" and use the word wall to spell common words.
Today our Circle of Courage Spotlight students did an amazing job! Ask me what Nathan (Ms. Barley's class) & James (Mrs. Daniels' class) shared. Circle of Courage Spotlight for Nov. 24th: Ashton & River. See below for Details.

Circle of Courage Spotlight
Congratulations, your child has been chosen to be our Circle of Courage student. Your child will have the opportunity to share more about themselves and how they show the four quadrants of the Circle of Courage to help build a caring classroom. Your child will present on Thursday, November 24th - River & Ashton
Once our Circle of Courage student is announced the student will have a week until their presentation date to collect the following items to share with the class.
Independence
· An artifact your child is proud of and demonstrates independence. i.e. piece of art, writing, project, or video of dance
Mastery
· An artifact that demonstrates a skill or activity your child has mastered. i.e. medals, awards, and certificates
Belonging
· Photograph (no more than 3) that shows belonging, i.e.Family photo, playing with others, family vacation, sports team, class photo.
Generosity
· Family Letter: Family members will be responsible for writing a letter to the class telling us how special your child is to you. Send the letter in a sealed envelope to the school with your child on the presentation date your child is sharing. I will read the letter to the class during our circle meetings. The content of the letter is up to you, but you may wish to choose from one of the following ideas: Describe special or funny stories about your child for the class to hear, tell us some interesting facts (no more then 3) we may not know about your child, send silly or special pictures with a letter describing the picture, or write a short story with your child as the main character. You may also send a video for the class to watch if you choose.
After your child has had the opportunity to share, his or her classmates will recognize your child as our Circle of Courage student of the day by writing about how they see your child demonstrating one of the four quadrants on the Circle of Courage. We appreciate your participation in our Circle of Courage Spotlight and look forward to getting to know your child better and build a caring classroom community!
