Home writing

Please make an effort to write something every day. I will be responding to each child's writing and/or adding a tsk for them to complete. Please leave the back of each page free, as we may glue tasks in on that side. Also, please continue writing on the same page as the previous day if space permits. Recording the date will help divide the work.
Thank you so much for your support in developing enthusiastic writers!

Note in agenda

Please see the note in your child's agenda regarding our literacy night.

The theme is Camp Read S'More, come join us for a night of literacy fun!

A reminder that your child is invited to bring in a favourite book to share this week if they haven't yet done so.


Wednesday 13 January 2016

Students may bring a favourite story book on Friday to share. We will be reading our favourite books with a friend and then discussing why we chose it. Making reading meaningful is essential for success. Making text to text and text to self connections are important to make meaning.

We are also working on questioning, answers and higher level thinking through the subject areas. Today we played "mme's jeopardy". This was a challenge! We are very comfortable giving one answer. The kids were very excited to get their questions correct. If you get a chance to watch a bit of Jeopardy with them in the next few days I'm sure they'd love it.
