See you in 2016!

Highlights

Movie in the gym; reader’s theatre sharing; sorting in math; thumb painting.

Homework

Reading (always!)

Update: We have now tested all students on the 32 must know words. Based on that, students were put into two groups (pink and green). The new lists were sent home today (Dec. 18). Students can practice their words at home each night, and use the blue spelling books for that work. Spelling homework will not be checked at school. Students will also have time during literacy centres to practice their spelling words. Every few weeks, we will quiz each group on some of the words on the list. The first test will be towards the end of January.
