Week of Sept. 30- Oct.4

• I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend!
• The students have started to settle into our routines here at school.  We have been working very hard on being active listeners and knowing when and how to contribute their thoughts and ideas to the class.  I am proud of them!
• The students wrote a math quiz on Thursday and I will be sending them home this week.  Please sign it and return to school with your child.  This week we will be starting adding and subtracting of 4 digit numbers, so the nightly fact practice is very important.
• I hope all of the students have been enjoying their nightly reading books.  The expectation is that they are reading 20 min. a night.  Please let me know if your son/daughter is having trouble with their books.
• Spelling quiz will be going home, please sign and return.
• The book order came in last week!  The students were very excited!  I will be sending the October book order home mid-week.
• Super effort on behalf of our students for the Terry Fox walk/run on Thursday afternoon.
• Have a great week everyone!

Week of Sept. 23-26

• I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!
• I am hoping that book orders will arrive today.  The students have been patiently waiting!
• I would ask that the students continue to read 20 min. nightly and record in their reading duotang.
• We will be starting our weekly spelling list this week.  Monday morning the students copy the words into their agendas and we complete some word work throughout the week with these words.  There will be a quiz at the end of the week.  
• Keep practicing those nightly math facts. We will be having a quiz on Thur. on outcome N1 and N2 which is representing numbers to 10 000 and comparing and ordering numbers to 10 000.
• Hat day will be on Wed. Students are asked to bring a toonie for Terry in support of our Terry Fox run/walk on Thursday afternoon.
• There will be no school on Friday, Sept. 27 for students due to a PD day.  
• Have a great week everyone!

Week of Sept. 16-20

• Book orders are due Mon. Sept. 16th. Thank you to those who ordered on line or sent them in.  They usually take about a week to come.
• I will be starting to send home the reading duotangs on Monday.  Please have your child read for 20 min. They need to copy down the title.  We have been discussing what books they want to start reading at home and some have decided that they want to continue reading a book that they are reading in class which is great!  
• I will be sending home a fact review sheet on Monday for nightly practice of adding and subtracting facts.  5-10 min would be awesome!
• Hot lunches are up and running!
• Have a great week everyone. :o)
