The homework for this week is for children to read the non-fiction text about octopuses and to answer the reading comprehension questions. There is also a math sheet reviewing the two-dimensional geometry concepts covered this week. This homework is due on or before Friday, February 7th.
Parent Notes:
1. Winter Clothing - The weather these days can be unpredictable. Please check the weather each morning and make sure your child has the appropriate winter gear to wear when outside. (Recall that children are expected to be outside for 15 minutes before school, 15 minutes at morning recess, 30 minutes at lunch recess and 15 minutes at afternoon recess.) Winter gear includes: winter jacket, snow pants, winter boots, hat (if the jacket has no hood) and mittens or gloves.
The guideline we use at school is, if the temperature is 0° Celsius or warmer, then wearing of snow pants is optional. Snow pants are also "warm and dry pants" and are not just for snow. Some children choose to wear nylon rain pants, if they find snow pants are too warm.
2. Illness - At school we teach the children to sneeze or cough into his/her elbow to decrease the spread of germs. We also have several boxes of tissues around the classroom for children to use whenever they wish. We are lucky to have a sink with soap in our classroom, that the students can access when they choose. There are also several bottles of hand sanitizer around the classroom for the children to use. As well, I give each child some hand sanitizer before recess snack time and before lunch time.
If your child is ill and will not be coming to school, you can email me or phone the school office at 416-393-0570.
