We hope you and your family had a fantastic Thanksgiving and enjoyed spending time with friends and family!  Below is some information and dates for you:

A reminder that Full Dress Uniform has begun and is on Wednesdays.  Winter Uniform begins November 1st

Comfort Kits – these are due to the classroom teacher.  If you have not handed one in, please do so this coming week.

Tuesday, October 18th – Photo Retakes.  If your child is getting retakes, please make sure they are wearing full dress uniform.

Pumpkin Math – It is time for our annual Pumpkin Math morning.  On Wednesday, October 19th  we will be working with Mr. Hancock’s class as we explore pumpkins and Math!  We will be counting, measuring, weighing, making patterns and getting messy!  Please send along a large t-shirt or something that can get dirty.  Many students like to use kitchen gloves when they are taking out all of the goop and seeds from their pumpkins so please send those along if needed.  I will also need 1-2 parent volunteers to help out next Wednesday morning.  We will begin around 9:15 and go until noon.  Please send me an email at pgoosen@highroadacdemy.com if you are able to help out.

Fall Fun Dress Up & Fun Afternoon – On Friday, October 28th we will have a fall colour dress up day and a fall fun afternoon.  The intermediate department will be split up into groups and rotate through some fall themed centers – it is always a fun afternoon!

Spelling Lists and Bible Memory Verse – both will resume next week.  The new spelling lists are listed below and will be on Spelling City for practice.  If your child gets 20/20 on Spelling City and you write a note indicating this in their planner or via email they will get a bonus mark on their Friday quiz.

List 1:  sale, subtract, nearly, several, equal, since, animal, curious, ninth, which, sail, hundred, o’clock, decimal, amount, complaint, strength, caterpillar, newspaper, hearse

List 2:  sleigh, affair, paragraph, island, ambition, temperature, opinion, difference, onion, pistol, recess, canvas, dictionary, community, vanity, grocery, yourself, mushroom, celery, gallows

I think that is it!  Have a fantastic weekend!
