Highlights
This was our first full week of school and students are adjusting well to the routines and expectations of Grade 1!

Homework
We had our grapheme review today for a, c, d, f, g, o, s, and qu.  This was sent home in the homework books.  Please review these graphemes as needed.

Reminders
For the first 4 weeks of school, our classes have a set library time each Thursday.  Students can keep their books at home and return them to school on either Tuesday or Wednesday.  After these 4 weeks, students will have the opportunity to change library books on a daily basis.

Calgary Stampeders' Coat Drive
Panorama Hills School has joined a city-wide initiative called the Calgary Stampeders' Coat Drive.  From now until October 24, we are asking Panorama Hills School families to consider donating winter coats for some of our city's homeless and less fortunate (some of which are the same ages as our very own students).  Students can bring these gently used coats to school and give them to the Physical Education staff (Ms. Atwal and Mr. Fen-Mac) who will collect them on behalf of the school.  This is a great opportunity for our children to practice the virtue of Compassion and help those in need; we appreciate any assistance your family can provide.
