Here is what is going on this week in grade 1:

Library: library day is on Tuesday. Make sure to return the book you have signed out to be able to take a new book home for the week. 

Homework: continue to read a levelled book and log what you are reading each evening. Make sure to practice letters (My ABC tracing book) or sight words each night. Remember to let me know when students are confidently naming all letters and sounds consistently, if they are working on the letter tracing book. I will then send home sight words. It is important to note that each student learns differently and at their own pace. Continue to play at least one math game/activity each night. 

• Return the levelled books on the last day of each week. 
• It is important to send the agenda and 'bring back' 'keep home' folder to school each day. 

Christmas Meal: will be served on Tuesday, December 6th. This meal was pre-ordered and will be the only meal served that day. 

Report Cards: please send back the parent/student response form that was attached to the report cards. Please also indicate your preference for parent teacher on the form provided and send all papers back in the envelope that was given. I will then book appointments for parent teacher and let you know your time. Thanks! 

Parent Teacher: will be held on Thursday, December 8th from 4:00-6:00PM and Friday morning, from 8:30-11:30AM. 

Food Bank Donations: as per the memo sent home, our class is participating in our school wide food drive for the local food bank. If you are able to, I kindly ask that you send in the item or items that were noted on the sheet sent home last week. These items can be sent in anytime up until December 22nd. Thank you for your support!!

Christmas Shop: the Home and School is accepting donations for our Christmas Shop this week, until December 9th. If you have any gently used items that you would like to donate, please send them in. They are also in need of any wrapping paper, tape, gift bags, ribbon and gift tags. Thank you!! We will be going shopping next week! 

No School: there will be no school for students on Friday, December 9th. 

Let's have a great week grade 1!!
