Language Routines

As far as I can tell the students have done a great job of informing you of their reading and spelling routines.  I just wanted to touch base though to make sure everyone is on the same page.

September Home Reading
Students are taking home books from the classroom for daily reading homework.  They trade their book when they get to school in the morning.  Every day that they complete home reading they colour an apple on the yellow September page.  The pages will be handed in at the end of the month.  If everyone submits a completed page there will be a super special September surprise!

Spelling
All students received a spelling list on Tuesday.  Students should practice the words during the week.  There will be a spelling test the following Tuesday.  The lists are pretty basic right now as we learn the routine.  I will be switching the difficulty of the lists as required.

Grade 1 words: a, an, as, am, at, and

This video is our Good-bye song.  The students really enjoy the song so I thought you may want to check it out too.
