Dear Parents,

Please see below for a few updates.

Interviews

Thanks to everyone who was able to come out for an interview. If you were not able to make it. Please feel free to contact me to book another time.


Homework

As of this week, students will have a levelled reader to read as part of their homework routine. The book will go home Tuesdays and are due back the following Monday. Books will be specifically picked to suit your child's current ability. Please read it daily to work on sight word recognition and fluency. Three strategies to focus on are that we have worked on in class are ...

1. Use the picture.
2. Recognize sight words.
3. Sound it out.
4. Read ahead and go back.

Also, there will not be any new Word Wall words this week because it is a short week. Instead, please review with your child the September and October Word Wall review sheet.

Days of the Week/Months of the Year

Please practice naming the day and month each day. I am noticing that many of the children can name days and months off by memory but when asked what day or month it is on a given day, many are unable to.


Library

Please be reminded that Thursday is our new Library Day.

Scholastic Book orders

For those wishing to purchase books this month, orders are due on Thursday.


PD Day

This Friday is a PD, there is no school for students.


Winter Weather

With the cold weather upon us, please make sure all your child's items are labelled. Also, it is a good idea for students to carry an extra pair of socks and mittens in their backpack. They are not comfortable to wear when wet...


Thanks everyone!

Mrs. Akl
