Week of Oct. 5 in Grade 12

Week of Oct. 5 in Grade 1

We had another great week. This week students will have their first spelling test. Spelling tests will be every Friday (unless Friday is a holiday or PD day, in which case the test will be on Thursday). The words increase in difficulty quite quickly and students will need to be practicing their spelling words at home frequently to set them up for success on the test. Lists will be sent home the previous Friday to allow students a whole week to practice before the test.

Please return library books by Wednesday at the latest so your child can pick out new books this week.

Changes in School Calendar: Please note that there have been a few changes to our school calendar (especially PD days because of Covid Restrictions cancelling our regular teachers conference).

There will be now be classes on Thursday, Oct. 22 and Friday, Oct. 23.

Thursday, Nov. 12 – Friday, Nov. 13: PD Days – No School
Thursday, Nov 19: 1st Quarter Report Cards
Thursday, Nov. 19: Parent Teacher Conferences (6pm – 9pm)
Friday, Nov. 20: Parent Teacher Conferences (10am – 12pm) No School

Homework: This week students will be working on their spelling list #1, Bible Verse #1, 2 penmanship sheets, and one page focusing on the last two colour words we will be learning. Remember to continue to fill out students reading bookmarks for every night they practice reading for at least 15 minutes. The printable books I am sending home regularly are a great place to start. Many of these focus on the special phonetic sounds we are currently learning in class.

Tests: Students will have a math test on Wednesday, and a colour words test and a phonics test on Thursday. We have also begun doing addition quizzes 4 days a week.
