How does writing help my child be a better reader? Writing is the reading process slowed down. Writing is a tremendous help to your child’s reading success. Write at home and on-the-go.
Carry a small notebook and pencil and let your child see you use it to make a to-do list -- “Go by the bank, pick up dry cleaning, etc.” Get a notebook for your child to write in as well. She can make a list of favorite foods, ideas for the weekend, etc.
Start a family journal. Keep a pad on the kitchen counter. Each member of the family can contribute by recording happenings -- the dog going to the vet, the weather being rainy, something happening at school, for example. At the end of the week, read aloud from the journal after dinner.
Have family members send e-mails to your child. Your child can read them when he gets home for school, improving his reading skills, and then respond back, improving his writing skills. No computer? Then leave your child a note and have him respond with a note to you.
Have your child write what he remembers about the day -- almost missing the bus, a new kid in the class,
having pizza for lunch, going to the computer lab, for example. You’ll learn something about his day, and your child will have the opportunity to reflect on his day.
This list-making game is never the same twice. Players have 45 seconds to write as many words as possible in a given category -- things that are red, for example. Then players, in turn, call off the words on their lists. If someone else has the word on his list, all players cross off the word. The player with the highest number of unique responses wins.

Talent Development by Ms. Enns
From November 19-21, four students, Lauren Chalmers,
Camryn Nash, Azaria Pearson and Kendra Sliworsky, attended
the Sunrise School Division Junior Artspeak, a camp that
immerses students in all art disciplines. Talented Grade 7/8
students from throughout the division made their way to Camp
Cedarwood (north-east of Lac du Bonnet) to participate in
music, dance, theatre and visual arts classes lead by experts.
Organized by Mr. Anthony Steffes, there is also a senior level
camp available for high school students, for high school credit.
If you are interested in more information, please contact Ms. Enns.
What was your favourite thing about ArtSpeak?
Camryn: Everything!!!
Kendra: I liked dancing because our teacher choreographed a dance for all of us to learn. The teacher was very
energetic.
Was it challenging?
Azaria: The first day was a little challenging because you don’t know anyone. I saw Lauren right away and then
we met new people from different schools.
Kendra: A little. You learn a lot of new stuff.
Who should go to Artspeak?
Azaria: People who love to be active and to participate in art, dance, music and theatre. They have to have a lot of
energy.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT BRINGS IN DONATIONS The student government is a group of elected students from each 6 to 8 classroom. We are dedicated to making this school year and those to come a better experience for the school. This month we raised 48 kilograms of food that we donated to Springfield Food Bank. We would like to thank everybody who donated. Last month we had a successful Halloween dance in the gym with a haunted house and music. Our next initiative will be helping Lexi Taylor with her project: A little bit of warm and collecting food for Christmas hampers. Stay tuned for more information.

News from room 9!
During the first term, our class has been working on a Monster theme. We were lucky to have Mme Alé, an artist in the school, come in to help us create some really neat monsters out of paper maché. We wrote stories about our monsters, measured them, did some monster math and even made them talk using a cool app called “Chatter kids”! We had a lot of fun exploring different art mediums and making monster food for our monsters!
