Field trip tomorrow:
Tomorrow is the
Gr. 1 field trip to the Children’s Festival to see Fred Penner. Please be sure
to send your child with snack and a lunch and be sure to feed them a big
breakfast. Students will be responsible for carrying their own things in their
backpacks for the day so pack lightly. Dress for the weather as some of the
festival is outdoors.
Parent
Volunteers: Could you kindly be at the school at 8:30am for your group list and
itinerary for the day. Busses are leaving at 9:00am and we will be back at
approximately 2:20pm.
Highlights:
We had our first Netball class today in
the gym. We learned the rules of the game and practiced shooting the ball in
the hoop.
Today we discussed what life might have
been like 100-200 years ago. I wonder
how people got to school? What did they
use as a pencil? Parents/Grandparents: have a discussion with your child about
what life was like when you were growing up. How are things different now?
Homework:
Literacy M.A.P.
Tuesday – train, every, picnic, forest
Wednesday – hope, glad, because, city
Thursday – country, need, animals, food
Friday – Quiz
Tell and Show: The

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.
