Homework: Read (try to read at least 3 nights this week)

                   Printing / Math sheet

For homework, students are asked to read at home at least 3 nights this week. Students may read books they have at home or use the guided reading books in their homework bag.  As most parents are aware, the province has implemented a new curriculum and the way we teach literacy in the classroom has changed. Even with these changes, it is still important that students get exposed books and print. Although the books in your child’s homework bag are levelled, this does not necessarily correlate with their current reading abilities. They are simply books your child may be interested in reading for homework.

Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns.

Printing / Math sheet: Students have a worksheet this week. They are asked to trace their names, print their names, trace numbers to 10, write numbers to 10 and base 10 blocks. Please click here for a homework help video.

Field Trips:

Friday October 3^rd, Fletcher’s Farm. Leaving at 8:30 and returning before 12:00. We may not be back in time to purchase from the cafeteria. Please bring a lunch that does not need to be heated (if possible) just in case.

Literacy:

This week we will look at the “bossy e” sound/rule at the end of a word. When an ‘e’ at the end of a word, it makes the preceding vowel in the word say its own name (its long sound) instead of its short.

Word work

make – plate – bike – kite – hope – phone – cube

Heart Words

who – my – one -your – want – goes- says

Reminders:

• Please do not send personal items such as toys to school. This includes stuffed animals.  
• Please try to take a quick peek in your child’s homework bag and agenda each night. Please sign and return your child’s agenda each day. Homework folders can stay home for the week (return on Friday’s or the last day of the week).

Have a great week!
