Pumpkin Day


HUGE THANKS to all parents for all your help. Thank you for helping carve pumpkins! Thank you for helping me with your time! Thank you for sending in Fall supper donations and party food items. Thank you for helping your child with their homework! Everything you do is appreciated!
Spelling – Test 7 – Sight words are now being added to the list. They do not follow the phonetic ‘rules’ so they need to be practiced and memorized.
Word Ring – A word ring is being sent home with the Grade 1s (Grade 2s should still have theirs from last year). A set of sight words is already on the word ring. The best way to practice is to use the cards as flash cards until your child can say them all. Then you can practice saying the word and have them print it or say the letters out loud. They should master identifying the word and spelling the words. When doing home reading they should begin identifying those words in their reading. New words will periodically be added to the ring.
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!
