Dear Grade 1/2 Parents,
I will no longer be sending the update out in paper format. If you require a paper copy please let me know. Thank you!
Spelling – Test 5 will be Thursday, even though it is a short week.
Reading Homework – Students should be bringing home books to read at their level every day. There are baskets of books in the classroom that students can borrow from. When reading with your child encourage them to sound out words that can be sounded out (i.e. cat, pan, duck). When coming across sight words (i.e. come, the, was) give them the word or help them figure it out by looking at the beginning sound. You can also use the rest of the sentence to figure out what word would make sense. These words need to be learned by memory. Sight words will begin appearing on the weekly spelling test lists. A word ring with sight words will be sent home soon as well.
Fall Supper Theme Basket Items – A letter went home last week about themed donations for the Fall Supper. If you are sending in items for this purpose please send them directly to the classroom so that we can ensure they end up in the correct basket. Thank you!
Please feel free to contact me any time with questions or concerns. I am here to help you and your child have a fabulous and successful year!
