 Hi parents,

Thanks to everyone who has already sent back their signed field trip forms. :)

We had another cool day today as our Safe and Active Routes to School residency continued on. Today our focus was on Lake Bonavista School, and the potential factors impacting students' abilities to get to school in a more active way. We walked around the school and found that we have quite a few bike racks, but no places to store scooters. We also don't have a designated 'passenger unloading' zone. These are things we may look to change in the future!

We practiced spelling and continued to work on subtraction, with regrouping, using the stamp game. Its a slow process but we're off to a strong start, and I actually do predict we'll wrap this unit up faster than usual.

We read quite a bit of Trapped in Transylvania today. The whole class ended up being in "Listening Club" due to exceptionally poor following of instructions throughout the day, mostly during our residency time and clean-up time. This is pretty typical for this time of year so I am not concerned!

Please send a cardboard box or two if you have some lying around!

Have a nice night,

Zac
