Update from Ms. R

The homework for this week is for each child to interview a parent to find out more about him/her. The question sheet has room for the answers to be written down (in sentences). These interview sheets will become part of a class book. There is also a math sheet reviewing adding and subtracting (without regrouping) and solving word problems. Please remember to help your child practise adding and subtracting math facts and skip counting daily. A few minutes a day, helps to improve your child’s math fluency! This homework is due on Friday, October 27, 2017.

NOTE TO PARENTS 

1. Please make sure your child is dressed for the weather. Students are expected to be outside for 15 minutes recess in the morning and 15 minutes in the afternoon and for 30 minutes at lunchtime. If you're not sure, tuck a sweater or hoodie into your child’s backpack and a clean, dry pair of socks, just in case.
2. Please put your child’s name on all his/her belongings. From hats and coats to lunch bags and water bottles, if your child misplaces an item, it is so much easier to find it again, if there is a name on it. A Sharpie permanent marker is a great help!
3. Our Library Day is on Day One of the schedule. Currently this falls on a Thursday, but the day of week will change whenever there is a holiday or P. A. Day. Please help your child return his/her library book as a new school library book cannot be checked out until the previous book has been returned.
