Week 3!

Spencer was our Star Student this week.  

Mr.  Walker came for a visit this week.  We learned about how we can be the hands and feet of Jesus each day.

Then we did a little singing and dancing.

 Check out these smarty pants who earned Lexia Awards for working on Lexia over the summer months!

Each evening your child has the option of doing Lexia or reading.  Please don't feel you have to do both, unless your child is highly motivated to do so.

Water is an important ingredient when we are doing the important business of growing our brain.  If you are interested in reading more about the importance of drinking water when learning please visit the following link http://www.healthybrainforlife.com/articles/school-health-and-nutrition/feeding-the-brain-for-academic-success-how  

Many of the students in our class bring water bottles to class.   Students get very distressed when the bottles spill over their work or the work of their classmates and then they have to spend time mopping up the water.  To help avoid this stress for students please ensure your child brings a spill proof water bottle to school.   Students are asked to take the bottle home each afternoon to clean and refill the bottle ready for the next day of school.

I have uploaded several pieces of student work to each of the students portfolios on FreshGrade.  Please check your child's portfolio to monitor their progress in class.  The link is here for your convenience https://www.freshgrade.com

Please initial agenda's each evening and complete the reading recording sheet.  Reading recoding sheets should be returned to school the week of Sept. 28.

Please be aware that Picture Day has been moved to October 16th
