Learning our Routine

September 16, 2011

As we have worked together as a class these past 2 weeks a focus has been to learn our routine and follow the school rules.

Our Rules are: 1. Treat others with dignity and respect. 2. Keep hands, feet and objects to yourself. 3. Enter, exit and walk quietly throughout the building. 4. Use designated areas responsibly.

We have also begun working on the Daily 5(Independent Reading Skills Practice), Investigations for mathematics and a review of Kindergarten Word Wall Words. Your child is bringing home their first books for Guided Reading in their book baggy today. You will note the bright pink sign-off booklet, so that you can sign off each time your child reads. Please sign nightly, even if the books are the same from one day to the next. By reading and rereading familiar books students build their reading fluency and known word base.

We have two sessions of Tuesday Show and Share left on September 23 and 30. The theme for both days is: Student Choice.

Have a great weekend with your childJ
