Hi Everyone!

Welcome back! I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend with your family.

Phys. Ed - Our Phys. Ed days this week are Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday.

Library - Our library day is on Thursday. Make sure you bring your book back, so you can sign out another one.

Homework/Reading - The homework for the week is listed in the orange folders. We continue to work on our sight word lists. Please remember to sign the sheet once your child knows all the words and we will send the next sheet. The word work activity is on short vowels. We will be doing more work on vowels. The math activities are on increasing patterns and comparing and ordering numbers to 25. Make sure you read a book from the reading bag each night and record it on the log sheet. We will be starting our spelling program next week.

Math - In Math we have started work on place value, representing numbers in different ways and even and odd numbers. We continue to build on counting forwards and backwards by 1s, 2s and 10s.

Literacy - In word work we have been working on building our sight words, vowels and segmenting and blending sounds. Remember that when we make words, every one has to have a vowel. We continue to build on our writing and beginning and ending sentences properly, and adding details. Drawing a detailed picture adds to our writing too. We are learning new strategies to help with our reading and are practising every day. In class we have started the on-line Squiggle Park literacy program on the ipads. We will be sending home the information this week.

School Clothing Orders - If you would like to order school clothing, orders are due by October 25th. All orders are done on-line by River Signs. There is a link added to the weblinks on this page. Orders will be sent to the school.
