We started by writing our agenda note

• Spelling sentences due Friday  
• Spelling test Friday 
• lunch payments due next week 
• Raz Kids 15 minutes 
• 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

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.
