Highlights
Today we practiced logging into the computers and students tried out a colour-mixing program where they learned about mixing different colours of paint.

Homework
Reading:  Students should be reading 10-15 minutes each night (either the paper books, Raz-kids books, their own books at home or library books if they are at an appropriate level).  It is very beneficial for students to read a book multiple times to improve their reading fluency. 

Word Study (spelling):  Practice spelling and writing one line of the words “you” “can” and “in.”  There will be a review quiz on Friday.  Please continue to review the words on the spelling list sent home last month.

Important Information
As part of the Senses unit in Science, we will be having a guest speaker from the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB).  Please read the note sent home for more information.  Parents must sign and return the consent form attached in order for students to participate.

The CNIB has requested one parent volunteer for each class.  We will do a random draw of parents who return the volunteer slip attached to the letter. 

Cans in Both Hands:
Donations for the Calgary Veterans Food Bank

Grade 3 students came to talk to both classes about the veteran’s food bank.

The Calgary Veterans Food Bank is collecting non-perishable food items at our school beginning the first of November. Many of our Canadian veterans, their widows and dependants will be benefiting from your generous donations. Please bring your non-perishable food items to place in the collection boxes located inside the doors through the school’s main entrance.
