1) Monday January 7, is Day 1 of our cycle and it's Library day.
2) We went home with our Poetry Folders today and the activity sheet will be due on Jan.7. Have fun re-reading the Poems we have already done too!
3) We should have 2 leveled readers and a picture book too. Please read out loud for at least 3-4 times/week to help maintain our learned strategies.
4) Writing a Recount using words like First, Then, Next and Finally about our holiday will be helpful to build our Writing strategies. We need to Think it, Say it, Write it and re-read it to make sense. We will be using a Writer's Checklist in January independently. We will double check our work for capitals, spacing, neatness, spelling and our sentences make sense too!
5) Grade 1's- please collect pictures with your child that we can use for our Timeline Project. Pictures are due to class on Tuesday, January 8, 2019
6) Grade 2's- please work on your Social Studies project on Seasonal Celebrations. We will be discussing the content the first week back after the holidays. Project is due January 14.
7) Electives are on Wednesday, January 9, 2019. A letter with a checklist was sent home with your child yesterday. Please dress appropriately for the weather that day, with extra mitts etc. If you are skating, please have an approved Helmet and skate guards and a bag to put skates in . We will need to have a litter less lunch that day too!
8) There are lots of great websites to work with your child that are great for Language and Math. My 2 favourite are www.starfall.com and www.mathville.com. Check them out, they are so much fun!
Please don't hesitate to call or ask if you have any questions or concerns. Have a wonderful holiday with your children.
