Sept 26

It is now officially Fall! Last week we painted fall trees and completed a short book about the seasonal changes in Fall.

Spelling – Test 2 will be Friday

Terry Fox – A Tasks for Terry page should have come home last week. We are collecting donations for the Terry Fox Foundation this week. As students complete jobs/tasks at home they can attach coins to their page. Attach $1 and wear a hat on Wednesday. Right after chapel on Wednesday we will do the Terry Fox walk. You are welcome to join our class as we walk together.

Picture Day – Friday – Wear your best smile!

Homework – Although there is not a large amount of homework in grade 1 and 2 it is a good idea to consider the time and space available to your child for completing homework. It is important that students have a workplace that is well lit and tidy. Please consider having supplies like scissors, glue, crayons, markers and pencils available for use at home.

Please return all homework pages to school each day. Even if the pages are incomplete, they may be required during class the following day.

Many parents have been asking for homework tips and suggestions. I have sent home a copy of the proper printing formation for both lowercase and uppercase letters. This is a great reference tool for students and parents. I will try to send home homework ideas from time to time.

Class Schedule – is attached.

Forms and Money – Please submit all forms and money in a labelled and sealed baggie or envelope. This way I can easily track and organize things being handed in. Thanks for your help!

Volunteers – I am now ready to have parent volunteers help me out with various tasks. Most jobs that I could use help with are paper cutting, copying, laminating, and book organization. Two hour blocks work best for me. Please let me know a couple days in advance when you are available and I will be sure to have something ready for you.

Please feel free to contact me anytime with questions or concerns. I am here to help you and your child have a fabulous and successful year!
