Room J2 Homework News – Sept. 2 - 5, 2008

Due: Friday, September 12, 2008

What a busy week it’s been! The students have been hard at work adjusting to their new classroom and the new routines. This week we did a lot of activities to help everyone learn more about each other.

The students made their own name art for their desks and worked together to make a message for our hall bulletin board. They wrote stories about summer and our fish. We read lots of books, sang songs and played math and word games. We also began our big class project “The 100 Shirts of Mr. Lee” and welcomed our class pets, “Alpha” and “Beta”, a fantail goldfish and a shubunkin goldfish.

Please note that the students need to wear proper footwear for gym on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Our library book exchange day is Monday.

Weekly Homework

Every week the students will be asked to do a few small pieces of homework that will be due the following Friday.

This week’s homework is:

Language – Please complete the attached interest survey with your child.

PLEASE make sure that your child reads for 10-15 minutes (or more) every night either with you or independently. It is VERY IMPORTANT at this age for children to read at home everyday.

If you have any questions or comments about the weekly homework, please contact me through the school at 416-393-0570, through your child’s agenda or via email at nrawlinson@rogers.com.
