We are learning spelling words once again!  We will continue with the two groups: blue and green.  Please check your child’s book to see which group they are in and the spelling homework.  Please have your child print 1-2 lines of each spelling word and 1-2 sentences using these words. Please practice saying the words as they write them. J

2. Reading:
Practice the Lyrics to our Kindness assembly song at home! https://sites.google.com/site/phonlinebookingsystem/

Your child should read independently every night both silently as well as aloud.  After your child is done reading their book, please ask them questions about what they have read.  Remember to allow your child time to solve words on their own before jumping in to help.  One of the strategies your child should be using is to use their double graphemes (ee, th, sh, ar, ch, etc.) when sounding out.  They should also ask themselves if what they have read makes sense, and also picture clues.

3.Tell and Show:
We are doing letter P for Tell and Show this week. Please continue to have your child draw and write independently.  We are amazed at the writing and drawing that students have been doing.  Way to go!

4. In addition to Mrs. Mann’s song, we will be learning and practicing this song for our Gr. 1 assembly also. Please practice with your child at home.
