Hi Eveyone!

Welcome back! I hope you had a fun weekend and enjoyed the beautiful weather!

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.

Field Trip - On Wednesday September 22nd, our class will be going to Fletcher's Farm for a Field Trip. We will be walking to and from the farm. Students will need to bring their lunch on this day, as we will be eating when we get there. (Nothing that needs to be heated up please.) It would be a good idea to bring a water bottle too. Please dress for the weather. Remember to sign and return the orange permission slip in the yellow folders.

Homework/Reading - This week we continue to work on our sight word lists. Once your child knows all the words on both sides of the sheet, please sign it so I know you are ready for the next list. The orange homework folders should be returned to school each day. Students are sent home a new bag of books at the beginning of each week. There are 4 books in the bag and a log sheet. Your child should read one book each night and then record it on the log sheet. They can choose what book they want to read each night. It is okay to read the same book twice. The bag of reading books is returned to the school at the end of each week, so we can get new ones ready for the next week. The Sight Word Lists A-E have been uploaded to the Documents tab on our class page.

Literacy - As we get back into the school routine we are working on reading, word work and writing. It is important for the students to read each day, a book that is easy for them and that they can use their strategies to figure out unknown words. With word work we are working on beginning and end sounds and vowels, to make sure we know all of our sounds. We are gradually getting back to writing every day. We started out with one sentence and are now writing two sentences about a topic or idea. If the students are able to they can write more. We will keep adding on to our sentences. Adding a picture is a good way to add detail to our ideas.

Math - We are working on counting by 1s to 25 and backwards from 25. Counting by 2s to 20 and backwards from 20. Counting by 10s to 100 and backwards from 100. As well we are working on patterns and comparing and ordering numbers to 25.

Have a fantastic week !
