Wow.....the year is going to fly by at this rate! I can't believe we are already into Week 3. This week we will continue to get our Writer's Notebook underway by decorating the cover and front title page. Please help your child gather items or pictures that identify him/her as an individual. For example, if your child loves horses, horse related pictures or photos would be ideal. If they collect shells, then pictures of shells etc. Photos of close family members are important. Send them along and lets create some fabulous memories that will provide motivation for writing. Look out for photos of the beginnings next week.
Homework - It is a requirement that children complete about 20 minutes of practice every night. Many children have made a good solid start to this habit. Let's see if we can have ALL children working hard to learn spelling, improve their reading, and practice Basic Facts. Parents, please sign their books to indicate that this is done. Some children do not yet have their Basic Fact books but I am working hard to get some initial testing done. Thanks for your support with this.
Meet the Teacher Evening - I look forward to meeting some of you who I have not yet had a chance to meet, on Tuesday night. I will be outlining my general programmes and answering any burning questions you may have.
Family Picnic - Remember to return your sausage sizzle order forms and permission slips asap for Friday's excursion.
Tuesdays - To ensure we include a variety of activities in your child's learning programme, we will alternate Discovery Time with Art lessons. This week is ART. What can we produce using Green Hat Thinking? I can't wait to see the results.
Have a great week everyone.
