Tuesday September 22, 2015

Highlights
Today we were practicing the sounds associated with “l” and “m”. We played a game of soccer again in gym today!  We did a colour science experiment to learn about primary and secondary colours.

Needed from Home
******Please send your child with a pair of their own individual earphones labled with their name.  We will be using these daily at our literacy centres.  Due to health concerns every child will require their own set of headphones. Thank you to those who have brought yours in! 

We are also collecting water bottle lids.  Please send in any that you may have.  Thank you!!!

Homework
Today we practiced the sounds associated with “l” and “m”.  Please print 1 line of each of these sounds in your homework books. J  Remember to say the sounds as you write them.

Printing- This link below contains information for parents regarding the instruction of practice strokes during the first few days in grade one.


Reminders
This Friday September 25 is a non-instructional day. No School for students. 

If you did not get a chance to have a conference with us kindly email us to set up a time that works for you. Thank you.
Walk to School!
Last spring we invited all families attending PHS to join with their friends and neighbours to walk to school every Wednesday and Friday morning. Let's continue to make this simple change that results in big benefits! We encourage you to explore the residential areas around the school for parking spaces that are more convenient while being mindful about parking in front of private driveways. Parking just two or three blocks away from the school will reduce frustration and increase everyone’s safety!  You may enter child in a draw if they walk to school on these days…see the school website for details.
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:
