This has been a good week in Div. 9! Routines are falling into place and we are getting to know each other. If you haven't done so already please ensure that...
- all supplies are sent in
- $7.00 for the planner either paid on line or send in cash or cheque
- your child has inside shoes
- headphones in a labelled ziplock bag
- Getting Acquainted form and volunteer form (if available)
- complete consent forms on the parent portal
- Entertainment books - payment or book needs to be returned
- verification forms came home today (please return asap).
We have started our home reading each night please do try to make the time for some reading each night and initial in the planner. Remember your child has chosen these books (they might be too hard or too easy but that's okay, the goal is that they enjoy reading and books). They will be learning how to choose a book that is at the right level and next month we will also be sending home a Just Right Reading Bag with books at your child's reading level.
Every morning we are trying to find as many words as we can out of the special helper's name. When it is your child's turn they will bring home their sheet so you and your family can try to find more that would be great and then have them bring it back to report to the class. It is an excellent literacy activity building on their reading and writing skills.
On Tuesdays we will have Forest Fun, just like our West Coast Recess/Lunch policy we will go out in most weather so please ensure your child has appropriate clothing and footwear.
***If possible over the next couple of weeks, could families please collect leaves, let them dry and send in to class. We have a cool art project planned.
Party Sign up is out - please stop by and sign up for one celebration for the year. I will send reminders closer to the date.
