Welcome to November! It is getting cooler, so please remember to bring warm jackets, mittens and hats for when that wind is blowing.
In Kindergarten, we have started a new unit on Safety. Next week, we will be visiting the fire station, so please send back the permission slip that went home today.
For homework this week, the kindergarten students need to:
*Practice their sounds every night.
*Practice their tricky words (he, she)
*Play their game and finish their homework duotang by Friday.
We are also starting Guided Reading this week. Once a week, the students will bring home a book to read, a reading log to record it in, and a reading response journal. Just answer one question in the journal. Have the kindergarten student do as much of the printing as they are capable - I know this is more difficult for some than for others. Please return the Guided Reading bag (and everythin in it) the following day, as I will need the books for the next group. Later on, we will start bringing a book home every night to read and record in their reading log, but they will only need to complete the Reading Response Journal once a week (on the day we actually do Guided Reading).
For the students in grades 1 and 2, Reading Club is starting up again this week. Every one has been tested in the last couple of weeks, and new groups have been organized. Reading Club will run for the next 5 weeks, and then we will re-test again before Christmas.
A parent survey went home with your child today. Please take time to fill this out and send it back sometime before Friday.
School pictures will go home tomorrow. What a cute bunch of kids!
