Wow!  Did you see that?  November?  Is that for real?  Crazy! We are officially two months into school.  Time is flying by.  I hear the Halloween Party Friday night by the Home and School was a huge success.  Thank you Home and School for putting that on for us.  It truly was amazing and you all put some much time into it.  Unbelievable! This week is not much different from any other.  Monday we will start our new reading, oral and writing work.  We are starting a new sound "ou" which in french is "oo" sound in english.  We actually are starting a poem for the first time for our reading, which is Le cocquelicot for Remembrance Day next week.  Tuesday is our library day as always and I will be taking orders for popcorn for Wednesday popcorn day.  Wednesday is also Halloween and we will be Skyping with Gretna Green and Croft to meet our buddies.  Please bring your costume with you because we are going to change into our costumes just to Skype and then change back.  If you are planning to bring a treat for the class remember there are 25 students in the class. The first last day of October also brings us to Harkins' first end of the month assembly.  Mrs. Pinder will be giving out the monthly awards on this day now.  A nice change. Don't forget your show and tell for Friday if it is your turn to present. Have a great week everyone!
