Update from Ms. R

This week's homework is to complete the worksheets handed out on Thursday. The children who are writing the Primary EQAO test received language and math practice sheets. The rest of the class received a "money" worksheet.

During the parent interviews this week, a few parents asked for advice on picking out books for their children. A wonderful resource is the book, How to Get Your Child to Love Reading - A Parent's Guide (2003) by Esme Raji Codell. This book is available through the Toronto Public Library. Ms. Codell also has a website, http://www.planetesme.com/, where she reviews more current publications. All kinds of books from fairy tales to biographies are represented. She also includes some activities related to the books, that you can do with your child.
