Hi Everyone!

  • I  hope you had a fun weekend!
  • As the temperatures get cooler, you may want to pack a hat and some mittens or gloves, so you have them if you need them.

Phys. Ed

  • Our Phys. Ed days this week are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.

Library

  • Our library day is on Tuesday. Make sure you bring your book back so you  can sign out another book.

Homework/Reading

  • The homework for the week is listed in the orange homework books.
  • This week we will be starting our spelling program. Each week the students will have a list of words that they will learn to spell. The focus this week is on the short /a/ vowel sound.
  • We will be working on them at school and sending them home to work on for homework.
  • We will do a test on the words on Friday.
  • Please continue with our sight word sheets. Remember to have the Homework Helper sign both sides of the sheet when you know all the words.
  • The word work activity focuses on the short/a/ vowel sound, which is the focus of our spelling words. Look at the picture. Say the word. Can you spell it? Write down each sound you hear. They all have the short /a/ vowel sound. Pick 1 word and write a sentence for it. Make sure your sentence begins and ends properly and has good details.
  • In Math we are working on ways to make 10 or Friends of 10. Look at the number in the box. Colour in the ten frame to make 10. Write the number sentence.
  • Choose one book from the reading bag to read each night. Use your strategies to help with the reading and record your book on the log sheet.
