For anyone who may not have seen our planner message the other day, it is pyjama day tomorrow at our school.

We have started a new unit about Internet Safety! Ask your child if they can remember the 4 rules we learned? Maybe they can even tell you more than that! I have included a parent letter that is included in the program we are using. This letter also includes the 4 rules. The program has lots of information for parents too so feel free to explore for yourself.

We began a new math unit on numbers to 1000.  In this unit, students will:

• Show a 3-digit number in a number of different ways, using concrete materials, pictures, words and numbers
• Compare and order 2-digit and 3-digit numbers.
• Skip count by 5s, 10s and 100s forward and backward to 1000.
• Skip count by 3s, 4s and 25s forward and backward to 1000.
• Estimate how many items are in a large collection by comparing it to a known quantity.

Traditions Elementary School SCC and École Warman Elementary School SCC are teaming together to put on a Family Literacy project! Starting on November 2nd until November 15th, families can participate in a Story Walk at your leisure. Your family will get to read pages of a great book posted in the windows of local businesses. Questions sheets were distributed by the school on Monday and should be returned to the school by November 16th.  A BIG thank you needs to go out to our SCC’s for gathering the businesses and posting the pages.  A BIG, BIG thank you to our local businesses for supporting our Story Walk.

*Please respect the customers and other readers as you maintain your distance while reading the pages.  We hope you enjoy the story together!

• Students are able to dress up on Friday October 30 for Halloween
• Dressing up is optional but must be school-appropriate (no weapon replicas, gory costumes, etc.)
• Regular masks (for COVID) must still be worn by staff and grade 4, 5 students (and bus students of all grades) as per usual despite whether the costume has a mask or not
• Students will not be able to gather in the washrooms to get costumes on at noon so please come dressed for the whole day this year if you choose to dress up
• If students do not have a costume, or prefer not to wear a costume to school, they are able to participate by wearing orange and black for the day
• At this time, we are asking families to refrain from sending any treats to school that would be shared in the classroom
