Tuesday October 7, 2014


Homework
1. Please have your child complete 2 lines of each double grapheme with 5 on each line in the blue book labeled Literacy Map.  Your child will now be working in their blue notebook each day at school.  They will then do the exact same printing directly underneath at home for homework.  Please have your child print the word “homework” so that we can easily identify what was done at school and what was done at home.  Please make sure this book comes to school each day. 

Monday: ur: nurse
                 wor: work
Tuesday: ear: early
                 sh: ship  wish
                  ee: see
There is a sentence to help your child remember all of the “er” graphemes.  The sentence is: Her first nurse works early.
Your child should underline the double grapheme when printing the key word. This reminds them that those two letters make one sound. (Eg. her, first)
The quiz will be on Friday as usual.



2.  Read for 20 minutes everyday.  This could be a library book, home reading or a book online.  It is beneficial to have your child read their home reading book more than once.  This helps to improve fluency.


Ask Me About 
What I did in Social Studies: How I am the same and how I am different than a classmate.
What the three primary colours are.

Reminders
1.    Edworthy Park Fieldtrip is tomorrow.  Please be on time for school.  Please ensure your child has appropriate footwear and clothing (check the weather) as this is an outdoor walking fieldtrip.  They will need to bring their backpack with only a lunch and a water bottle.

2.    This week will be our last week going to Library as a class.  Tuesday for Mrs. Schroeder’s class and Wednesday for Mrs. McGivern’s class.  If Mrs. McGivern’s class doesn’t have time on Wednesday after the fieldtrip students will be able to exchange books Thursday or Friday.  Next week we will be starting a Library rotation schedule.  Click on the link to see your child's day: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1InyvYSFeiC6WeTw9jfwMvuk1UDiYBKtuFLb-kn9-hbg/edit?usp=sharing
