October has been a warm, cold and exciting month in Grade One. We enjoyed making Thanksgiving turkeys and loved dressing up for the costume parade on October 31st. The Home reading and Word Wall (spelling) word programs are off to a successful start. Thank you for taking the time to read books with your child. Your support at home leads to greater success at school! I look forward to seeing everyone at Parent-Teacher Interviews on November 21sh.
CURRICULUM HIGHLIGHTS FOR November:
Number sense - introduction to number stories and addition to 10
Continuing to build a sight vocabulary by practicing 5 spelling words per week
Guided reading in groups – children read a book at their level and get a chance to practise reading strategies (recognizing spelling words, sounding out, asking “does this make sense?”)
Reading through “Shared Reading” poems and books – that we learn as a class
Remembrance Day
Reminders:
***Parent-Teacher Interviews November 21st
*** Please remember to check and initial the agenda each day
*** Please send healthy snacks and lunches to school for your child
*** PD Day November 21st
*** Please remember to read Reading books and return to school in the Homework Bag on Thursdays
Thanks for your support of the Grade One program. Please feel free to contact me by phone or note if you have any questions or concerns.
