Highlights

During writing on Tuesday, students had to think about would happen on their best day ever!  On Wednesday we read the story “Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day” and wrote about what would happen on the worst day ever!  We practiced making connections between events in the book and our own lives.  In Math, we learned that different attributes can change in a pattern.  For example, the size, shape, colour, position, thickness and number of objects can change in patterns.  Today, our first fire drill practice went smoothly.

Toonies for Terry

We are asking students to bring a toonie (or any other amount) for our Terry Fox fundraiser.  Online donations can be made at www.terryfox.org and tax receipts are available.  You can click to make donations under Panorama Hills School.  If students would like, they can also print off pledge sheets from this site.  Our school goal is to raise $2000.00.

Warm Winter Coat Drive

The Calgary Stampeders and the Salvation Army are accepting donations of new, or slightly used coats for students in Kindergarten to Grade 12.  There is a donation box at the school if you have winter coats your children may have outgrown.  This will take place until the end of October.

Homework

Students have received information about their Raz-Kids reading accounts.  Please try the account to make sure it works.  The Raz-Kids reading level of your child may be adjusted over the next couple of weeks as I complete their reading assessments.
