Thursday April 16, 2015

Don't forget no school tomorrow! 

Note:  We have several field trips and events coming up in May and June. We will need lots of parental volunteers for Bowmont Park, Heritage Park, and BirdHouse building.  Please email your teacher (if you haven't already) if you are interested in coming along/helping out.   Thank you. (Dates are listed below) 

Homework
Literacy Map:
No Literacy Map homework over the weekend.  Homework books will be kept at school for marking and returned on Monday. 

2. Reading:
Please have your child read for a minimum of 10-15 minutes per night.  This can be a paper book or Raz-Kids.  If using Raz-Kids please have your child listen to the book, read the book, and then complete the comprehension quiz (independently).  Remember to allow your child time when solving unknown words.  Encourage them to use single and double graphemes, think about what would make sense, use the picture clues, and skip the word and continue reading to solve the word. 

3.Tell and Show:
Please note that some weeks we get fairly busy with daily learning tasks and may not have time to get to every student’s Tell and Show.  If your child is unable to share on their day please reassure them that they will get to share the following day.  Next week, students will be sharing letter Y.  Please allow your child to complete this work independently.  Thank you to those of you who have been doing this already.  If you are concerned we will not be able to read your child’s writing please just scribe underneath what they have written. 


Ask Me About:
Math:
Measure how tall you are using socks.  How many socks tall are you?  Who’s socks did you use?

Story:
My Chair!  Will it be stable?  Will it be comfortable?  Why?  Who will sit in it.

Reminders:
1.    On May 14th our classes will be going to Bowmont Park.   This is an all day field trip and we are looking for volunteers.  Kindly email your child’s teacher if you are interested in coming along. As well this day is a “fun lunch” day.  As we will not be at the school during lunchtime you WILL need to send a packaged lunch for your child.   If a student has pre-ordered a lunch, this will be given out at the end of the day due to our absence.  Sorry for the inconvenience.  If you would like to cancel:
All Orders can be canceled or deleted as long as it is before the 5 day cut-off.  To cancel an order go to the "My orders" tab and select "My Up-Coming Orders". You will see all of your up-coming orders with a "Delete" button to the right. When you delete an order your refund will be automatically sent to your method of payment. It will show on your Credit Card or bank account within 24-48 hours.

2.    If you have forms for Multicultural night, and your child is participating please return them to school this week.
3.    Please continue to send in your Boston Pizza receipts to support our Boston Pizza Fundraiser.  When your child brings in a receipt they have a chance to win a prize!
4.    We still need volunteers on Friday afternoons!
