Good afternoon all,
This coming Monday is Family Literacy Day at our school… Therefore,we are asking our students to wear their PJ if they so desire. You will find in their homework binder a sheet with snowballs. Please get our children to fill in the name of the book they have read and cut out the snowball. Each hallway is creating a big reading snowman with all of the small snowballs. I am not expecting all snowballs to be filled Monday evening (one a day is great).
You will also find our first two math tests in the homework binder. Please sign them… Keep in mind that using our fingers is not the best strategy to learn the math facts. Good old memorization is still the best tool for this. Take time to play with the math facts nightly if possible.
It is hard to believe but we are only a month away from our second report card. It is amazing to see the academic and social growth of most children. They are reading and writing at grade level (most part). Some of our little duckings still need to learn how to take responsability for their choices – it is easier to point the finger at someone else.

Have a great weekend and talk soon!
