Our Week for October 12-15

 Hello Families:

Please note there is no school on Monday October 11.  School will resume on Tuesday October 12.

Please also note that the Board has mandated Friday October 15 as an Asynchronous Day.  That means school will be closed to students and work will be posted online and there will be no live classes. Please work at your own pace and have fun learning with your child that day.

Here are some reminders for our upcoming week:

1) Tuesday is Day 3 of our cycle.

2) Wednesday is Library Day.  Please return the Library bag that day.  Your child will be bringing home 1 Picture Book and 1 Levelled Reader.  I strongly suggest nightly reading for 10-20 minutes each night.  Please reference to the Reading note that was sent home previously for suggestions as well.  Spending time with your child is truly invaluable.

3) Gym is every Day 4 and Day 5.  Please make sure we have appropriate footwear so we can participate fully.

4) Please read and sign your child's agenda daily.

5) There will be no MWW words this week.  It's a short week...:)

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call or ask.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your children.

Our Week for Oct. 4-8

 Hello Families:

We will be discussing all that we are thankful for this week.  We will be writing our thoughts in a list and organizing our ideas in complete sentences too.  We are learning to 'THINK IT, SAY IT, WRITE IT and RE-READ to make sense.'

Here are some reminders for our upcoming week:

1) Our Poetry Folders went home.  Your child is to read the poem with phrasing and fluency and then sign their name.  Please make sure you return on Monday as it is part of their Learning Skills and Work Habits assessment.  

2) Please have your child read their Friday Letter to you as well.  This way we can engage with you of what we learned throughout the week.  Please return on Monday as well.

3) Monday is Day 3 of our cycle.

4) Tuesday is Library Day.  Please return their Library book so we can get another one.  Levelled readers will start after Thanksgiving.

5) Gym is Day 4 and Day 5.  Please have your child dressed appropriately so we can fully participate.  

6) Please read and sign your child's agenda nightly and return in their BEE bag everyday.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call or ask.

Have a wonderful weekend with your children.
