I'll wear a poppy for Remembrance Day...



I hope everyone enjoyed their day at home today for Remembrance Day. It was nice to see so many out at the service at the school. Thank you to all who have served our country, both in the past and the present.

Homework:
Kindergarten:
*Practice tricky words (me, we) and sounds every night.
*Finish homework duotang by Friday, and return it along with your game.
*The children will be bringing home a book to read a couple of times this week. If you have other books at home that the children can read, then feel free to write those ones in as well. The library has a large selection of guided reading books if you would like to get some extra for at home (Choose books leveled A or B to start with).

Grade One:
*Read a book or chapter every night.
*Finish homework duotang and game by Friday.
*Practice sight words (saw, can, then, went, get) and spelling words (up, man, crab, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, today, come, some, weekend). We will have a test on Friday.

Reminders:
*Elementary Drama Wednesdays from 3-4pm.
*Report Cards will go home Monday or Tuesday. Please return the envelope and the slip about parent-teacher interviews the next day. You may keep the actual report card, and any other inserts.
*Parent-Teacher Interviews will be next Wednesday (Nov. 19th) from 6:30-8:00, and Thursday morning (Nov. 20th) from 9:00-12:00 (I will only be available until 10:30 as I have to go on the ferry). The students will not have school on Thursday or Friday (Professional Development session on Thursday afternoon and Subject Council on Friday). Enjoy a nice long weekend!
