Nov 12-15th

Posted: November 8, 2013

  Welcome back! I would like to commend students for their attendance and participation in last week’s school Remembrance Day ceremony. The event went off without a hitch and was a special moment for those in attendance. French - We continue to discuss “family” as our theme this week. We will take a look at what members of our family enjoying doing during their spare time i.e. activities, clubs, special events, etc. We continue as well to develop ideas using our writing webs in order to facilitate our descriptive writing assignment about chosen members of our family. We look forward to presenting them soon J  Guided reading continues. Please ensure students are reading nightly and recording their books in their record sheets. Again, these are books that have been well rehearsed in class and should take no longer than 10-15 minutes to complete. Math - We continue to practice our numbers orally up to 100. We will now commence counting up to 1000 as I feel students have begun to master the differences between the 60 and 70 numbers as well as the difference between the 80 and 90’s which can be “tricky” at times. Our focus again will be on the mathematical terms/vocabulary and continue to incorporate written sentences into our responses. Reminders:  - Sign and return parent-teacher interview notice sent home on Friday. - Reading is to occur nightly. Please ensure books are signed and returned. Let’s have a great week. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.
