Highlights

There was a substitute in for Mrs. Diduch today.

Ms. Bain’s class:  Students were shown how to login our new online reading program called Raz-Kids.

Reminders

Please return any completed Jump Rope for Heart forms.  If you filled out information online, you do not have to return the envelope to school.

Mrs. Diduch/ Ms. Bain’s class: We are starting our building unit.  We are looking for a variety of materials.  Please send in any of the following: popsicle sticks, tooth-picks, card-board (cut into manageable pieces), clean empty food tins, paper-towel rolls, egg-cartons, string, plastic lids, plastic drink cups, etc.

Homework

We are excited to announce that Grade 1 students will now have access to an online reading program called Raz-Kids for daily home reading.  We ask that your child read each night for a minimum of 10-15 minutes.  They are also welcome to continue taking the paper books from school in addition to using the online program.  Please have your child listen to the book, read the book, and then complete the comprehension quiz (independently).  Remember to allow your child time when solving unknown words.   A letter was sent home with students explaining Raz-Kids along with cards with your child’s login and password information.   

Ask me about

What would be an appropriate goal for school this month?  What would you like to increase or improve?  (E.g., listening during instructions; being able to read more fluently (smoothly); practicing my addition facts so I don’t have to count on a number chart or use my fingers; getting along with others at recess; making sure I do my home reading or spelling each night)
