Highlights:
Mrs Leung-Chow’s class worked together
with Ms. Laslo’s class to create a special gift for our volunteer tea next
Thursday. Can’t wait to see what it is?!
In art we experimented with oil pastels
and water colour paint. We sketched a picture of gladiola with oil pastels and
then painted over our picture with a water-colour wash. They turned out great. J

Literacy M.A.P. Review your double grapheme sounds this weekend.
Tell and Show: Next
week is the letter U ! Up, up, up and
away! Lets get creative with letter U.
Dream Box: Dreambox
is an interactive math program that the students have been working on here at
school. We encourage the students to log in at home and practice
developing their problem solving skills. Teachers are able to track their
progress and see what areas they are excelling in or that may need improvement.

Home Reading –
Please have your child read around 20 minutes every night. Don’t forget
to engage your child by talking to them about the text. Being a good
reader is more than just knowing the words!! Good readers will: make
connections, ask and answer questions, visualize the text, make inferences and
transform their thinking.
Alternatives to Traditional Reading –
Part of being a good reader is understanding how to tell a story!
Sometimes listening to a good book is just as educational as reading a good
book. Please check out the links below for alternatives for those days where
you’d like to a change of pace.
