Wednesday September 16, 2015

Highlights
Today we practiced the graphemes “h” and “i” in literacy map. This morning we tried to solve the problem; “if we have 4 girls and 5 boys, how many do we have altogether?” We talked about the colours of the rainbow today and made a piece of art-work out of paper tearing. They look fantastic!  

***A note for Mrs. Daniels class.  There has been some movement in staff, which is common at the beginning of the school year. As a result I (Mrs. Daniels) will be moving to a .8 contract and Mrs. Zaharichuk will be coming into our classroom on Wednesdays starting in October. If you have any questions at all we will be happy to discuss them with you at your parent – teacher conference, or feel free to email me.


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
Please complete 1 line of “h” and “i” in the homework books.  Remember to say the sounds as you write the letters!!

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:
