end of November

Here we are at the last week of November. Thank you to all who came and visited during Parent/Teacher Interviews. I appreciate your interest in your child's learning experience as well as the time you take at home to reinforce what we are doing in school.

New spelling words for this week (you will be familiar with them from last weeks homework...) - car, ball, computer, book, with, likes, plays, and, you, do.

Most of the students are remembering to dress warmly - on wet days it would be good if they had 2 pairs of mitts. Thanks. Have a wonderful week!

Report card day!

Well, Tuesday is report card day! There are quite a few extra papers along with the report this time - my letter that tells what we've been doing so far, a computer questionnaire, the Parent-Teacher info sheet to be returned, a sheet to inform you of Guided Reading levels and what they mean, and a newsletter. I look forward to seeing you all - make sure to bring any questions and/or concerns with you.
I am sending homework home today, but there will be no spelling words this week. Please send the homework back on Thursday.

Cold November

Hello - here we go with a short week (which in the long run usually seems longer!)--
Just a reminder...the weather is getting much cooler, and the wind never seems to stop out in the playground, so please remember to send hats and mitts with your children.
Spelling for this week - it, dog, bran, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, you, your, and yesterday.

November highlights

Here we are into November already! Just a few notes about things going on this month - on November the 19th we are having an Anti-Bullying presentation, and on the 21st the Maritime Marionettes will be putting on a play for us. Each of these activities has a cost attached to it, and we are asking each child to bring in $4 to help out. Thanks to those who have already sent in the money. As well, report cards will be coming home on the 20th of the month.

We are starting a new set of "Reading Club" groups tomorrow afternoon, having tested the children and regrouping them.

Parent survey forms are coming home today in agenda bags. Please fill them out and return them as soon as possible. Thank you for your help in this project.

Spelling words for the week are - at, yes, slug, fork, storm, horse, forty, are, all, and morning.
