Our week for October 12-16

 Hello Families:

Today in your child's agenda they went home with a letter about Razkids.  Razkids is a virtual reading site.  Each child has been put at their level to start with their log in information.  Right now, the site is for reading at home since we can't sign out books from our Library.  I recommend reading for at least 10 minutes out loud to hear their expression and rate.  I will be sending home shortly some more information for you about home reading and what reading in Grade One looks like.  We are reading for a stamina of 6 minutes in class with our levelled readers and our IPICK books.  Please don't forget that you have access to Tumblebooks too for those snuggle up and read times together.  

Here are some other reminders for our upcoming week.

1) Monday is Thanksgiving, there is no school.

2) Tuesday is Day 5 of our cycle.

3)Please read their Friday Letter together.

4) Our Poetry Folder went home today.  Please have your child read the poem to you and fill out the Cloze activity sheet on the back. It is due on Tuesday.

5) Thursday October 15, is WEAR PURPLE DAY.  

6) There will be no M.W.W. words this week, we have a short week.  

Wishing you all a very happy Thanksgiving with your families.
