This week is a short one at school We have a camping trip on Wednesday and Thursday to Parksville. I'm sending home a reminder on Monday about the trip and the details for the two days. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks to all parents who were able to meet with you last week for interviews about your child. It was a pleasure meeting you.
We had lots of fun last week performing our water cycle song for the whole school meeting. I was really proud of the students for such a great performance so early in the year. Well done!!!
Below is a link to a folder of class photos I'm taking. Meet the new class!
Subjects
Math: We continue learning about patterns. I'm also doing math word problems with the class daily to help with understanding concepts and applying what they know. "Math is the science of patterns."
Reading: Students are now engaged in a reading program called Reading A to Z.
They read daily at their "just right" reading levels while I work on them with vocabulary and reading fluency. I'm starting different spelling groups and teaching students spelling and word patterns throughout the year.

Writing: My focus continues to be on sentences--what they are, how to identify them, and how to write them correctly. We'll also look at using descriptive words in sentences.
Tech: As soon as we can get all student Logins and Google passwords we'll be starting to look at applications and computer skills including typing online. I hope this starts soon!
