FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S DESK
Last Thursday and Friday the teachers had an opportunity to grow and learn at the Edifide Convention held at Redeemer College. These days are great for connecting with past colleagues, classmates and fellow teachers, as well as learning new and exciting ways to teach. As there are many workshops to choose from, this afternoon as a staff we will share our takeaways with each other.
Thank you to all who came out to the Membership Meeting / Capital Campaign Kick-off last Thursday. I know it was a long weekend for the children but appreciate the effort that parents made to make it out. It was good to lay it all before the Lord in prayer. Continue to uphold this endeavor in your prayers that God will provide all the funds needed to make these building plans happen, and that through each step of the way, there will not be delays, and all will go smoothly and as planned. And mostly that God’s Will will be done.
Also I want to give a big thank you to the OACSFoundation for a grant of $7500.00 which was used to purchase new tables for the library, tables and chairs for SK and Gr 1&2, as well as tables and chairs for the French room. The new furniture has perked up the classrooms and help to improve teaching in the different rooms.
Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us
and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.” Ephesians 4:32 - 5:2

Tasty tips! The industry giants market the foods with captivating slogans, songs and images. Their goal is to sell food - cereals, snacks, candy, crackers, and the list goes on. They pack salt, sugar and fat into these foods in the optimum quantity to capture the taste bud desire. If they reduce one of the three and call it low fat or low salt - they simply increase the other two portions. Oh, but it tastes so good! Without these three additions to food - the industry would cease to exist! Industry executives have said that they cannot produce a truly healthy alternative that people would eat. How do we find food good for us? For the next few weeks we will look at what is really in our food. Starting with sugar! Sugar Cutting edge technology is used to calculate the 'bliss' point of sugary snacks. The exact quantity to optimize taste and create the craving. The average amount of sugar consumed per year per person in 1821 - 4 kg in 1880 - 17 kg in 1970 - 53 kg in 1990 - 59 kg in 2012 - 73 kg Refined sugar is an unnatural product that comes from a natural product. It is not easily digested. We need to reprogram our taste buds. Suggestions - eat locally and seasonally. Enjoy fresh produce and avoid commercially prepared packaged foods. Your taste buds will gravitate toward natural foods. Prepare a container of carrots, celery, sliced apple or oranges.
HURRAY! THE BOOK FAIR IS HERE…. It starts today after
school, in the library downstairs, and again
tomorrow after school until the end of parent/teacher
dialogues. All the proceeds will
go towards more books for our school library.
Volunteer Opportunities 1. Movie Night – Nov. 14: Volunteers needed for setup, serving and clean up. Please email

for us to discuss how your child is adjusting to this new school year. Please feel free to come with questions about your child’s first
few months in grade 1/2.
Remember to keep reading at home. We are hoping to pull out the remainder of Frank’s teeth this week. Please sign the reading folder
and send it to school so that we are able to achieve our goal.
In math, we are working on estimation. We are working on making really good guesses on how many objects we have and then putting
them into groups of ten in order to count our actual amount. We are also developing our ability to adjust our estimations when we
understand the size of a group of ten before we fully finish counting.
In writing, we are beginning to write friendly letters. We are developing our ability to add “Dear” and “From” to our letters as well as
the appropriate comma at the beginning. Last week we were able to write friendly letters to each other in class.
Our Social Studies project went home last Friday. Students are asked to create family trees for both sides of the family (if possible).
These projects will be due Tuesday November 4. On this day, the students will present their family trees plus their special family
treasures to the class. We have extra class time designated specifically for these presentations. Please help your child participate
with the class by ensuring their project returns completed on Tuesday, November 4th. There are extra leaves available in the class
for your child to pick up when needed.

Mrs. Porter – Bible
Our memory verse for the next few weeks is still Hebrews 11:1,2 and 6. Ask your child for a bright green piece of paper with their
verses. We have learned the first 2 verses already and will continue to review and add verse 6 this week. Ask your child to practice
their verses and show you the signs we have learned for the words "hope", "certain/sure" and "faith". We continue our journey with
Abraham's twin grandsons Jacob and Esau. As always, I encourage you to read and re-read all of the stories we are studying here at
school. What a great habit to get into as a family! As a parent of 2 teens, we still treasure these family reading times that over the
years have expanded to include missionary biographies and Christian fiction. On that note, remember to check out the book fair this
week! A great way to build Bible knowledge and see how the Word of God applies to our lives.
MRS. GROOT & MRS. PORTER – SENIOR KINDERGARTEN Welcome back after a long weekend. I hope you enjoyed some quality family/friends time. We are into our final week of our
Fall theme. It has been a wonderful fall exploring God’s amazing creation. Last week we had fun learning about pumpkins:
cutting them apart, standing on them, making pumpkin muffins (thank you to Mrs. DeSouza), drawing and painting a pumpkin
and more. This week our fall focus will be yummy apples.
Our letter this week is Aa “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End.” Revelation 22: 13. Aa is also for apple.
Our sight word for this week is ‘and’. We will also focus on the ‘at’ word family (i.e. sat, bat, cat, mat).
Parents, thank you for committing to a time to dialogue with me about your child, this week. If for some reason you have
missed scheduling a time please contact Sheila Reid in the office.
BOOK FAIR: Please take advantage of our book fair happening in the TCS library today and tomorrow. See the front of the
newsreel for details.
We, God’s children, are the apple of his eye. Deuteronomy 32:10, a verse from the song recited by Moses: “In a desert land
he found him, in a barren and howling waste. He shielded him and cared for him; he guarded him as the apple of his eye.”
MRS. PERERA & MRS. PORTER – JUNIOR KINDERGARTEN
I hope that you enjoyed your long weekend and were able to spend time with family and friends. We will explore the letter P this week. P is for pumpkin and Prince of Peace. Ask your child if they can think of any words that start with P that remind them of Fall. HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Anna-Mai who turns four. We will celebrate with her on Monday. God bless you, Anna-Mai, with an awesome year. SHARING REMINDER: Please bring something that starts with the first letter of your name. Monday – Josiah, Caleb, Miya, Gabriel Wednesday – Matthew T., Laila Friday – Eliana, Jonathan Y., Matthew Y. This Wednesday is Orange Day, please wear something orange. I look forward to meeting with you this week for Parent Teacher Dialogues.
