There is NO SCHOOL on Monday, September 7, as it is Labour Day. Enjoy a
relaxing long weekend. See you all at school on Tuesday, Sept. 8! ***
Highlights
We
worked very hard in our printing books today! Great job! We have been
practicing printing strokes all week: tall and short vertical lines, diagonal
lines, big and small clocks (circles). These strokes are necessary for
the beginning foundations of forming alphabet letters.
We
worked on two math word problems today. This will be a daily component to
encourage critical thinking in our math program.
Homework
Starting
on Tuesday, Sept. 8 students will receiving our blue Homework book for our
Literacy Map graphemes.
Printing-
This link below contains information for parents regarding the instruction
of practice strokes during the first few days in grade one:
PURPLE
FOLDERS ARE TO COME TO SCHOOL WITH YOUR CHILD EVERY DAY. Please look at
the contents and remove what is necessary.
Reminders
To
support children in becoming knowledgeable readers, the most important thing
parents can do is to read aloud to their children and talk about what has been
read. This nightly process supports children in developing oral language skills
(the ability to talk in a fluid and understandable manner), comprehension
(understanding what has been read), and sparks enthusiasm toward the act of
reading. We created this downloadable document to support parents in
identifying the expectations for readers during their years at PHS:
Bring
a healthy snack (Fruits and veggies, cheese and crackers. No cookies,
rice krispie squares, cake, cupcakes, anything with chocolate in them, popcorn,
etc. please. Please also refrain from bringing food with peanuts or nuts
in them, as we are a peanut-aware school, and there are many children in our
school who are severely allergic to peanuts/nuts. Thank you.), an
appropriate sized lunch, and a water bottle.
*****
Entertainment fundraiser books and bags went home yesterday. This
fundraiser supports Panorama Hills School to provide gym equipment, drama props
and classroom educational resources. Please sell as many as you can!!! The more
your child sells, they have an opportunity to win various prizes, and we can
raise more money for Panorama Hills School. There are numerous coupons
