- Friday is Orange shirt day why wear a orange shirt? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3vUqr01kAk&feature=youtu.be
Orange Shirt Day is a legacy that grew out of Phyllis' story of having her shiny new orange shirt taken away on her first day of school at the Mission, and it has become an opportunity to keep the discussion on all aspects of residential schools happening annually.
- Thursday October 5th is International Day we are studying Barbados if you have something from Barbados can you please email me
- Friday October 6th - Hot lunch payments due
- Raz kids for 15 mins
Each Friday there will be a spelling test for the words of the week. Students will bring the words home every Monday in their agenda. On Mondays students will bring home their spelling words journal. In this journal they will be required to write each of their spelling words in a sentence. The journal will be due back on Fridays.

A quick little announcement:
Unfortunately over the weekend our class pet Rocket Bob passed away. Yesterday we discussed the importance of caring for all living things and that sometimes things just happen. We then took a vote to decide if we would like to have a new classroom pet.
Today we introduced our new pet to our classroom and talked about ways we will care for him. We then brainstormed first and last names and voted on the ones we like best.
The Grade 1's would like to welcome . . . Sharky Cupcake to our classroom!
