Spelling

 In the slides that were sent to parents at the beginning of the school year, I mentioned that we would start a spelling program in January.  As we are making steady progress with the UFLI reading program, I have decided not to include a spelling program on top of it.  The UFLI program covers spelling patterns so, there is no need to add formal spelling lessons.

Weather

 Please ensure that your child is dressed for the colder weather.  Students are outside for 40 minutes during lunch.

Quick Math Quizzes

 We are starting our quick math quizzes the week of November 11.  This is to build fluence with adding and subtracting small amounts quickly.  We will begin with adding 0 & 1.  The following week we will have subtracting 0 & 1.  Then we will continue with adding 2, then subtracting 2 and so on.  You can practice these with your child orally; no need to write this out.  The most that students will have to do is add an amount to 20 and subtract an amount from 20.

Rainy Weather

 With autumn here, please ensure that your child has a raincoat and appropriate footwear for the wet weather.  Please do not send umbrellas to school.  Thank-you.

Date Correction

 Our Meet the Teacher Night has been changed to Wed., Sept. 18 from 17:00 - 18:30.
