Month: November 2022

Good morning families!

Our online reading program Raz-Kids is now set up!

Your child’s username and password will be in their planner pocket today along with their next words their way envelopes.

The notice will have your child’s username and password to their Raz-Kids account. Suncrest asks that you please keep your passwords private and kept in a safe place in your home to refer back to.

I have already added in your emails under your child’s account (the primary email I have on file so you do not have to bring the bottom of the form). You will have access through the Raz-Kids app and internet browswer.

My username is ctoor0 as you will need it to log onto the account.

The website to sign onto is https://www.raz-kids.com/

I am very excited to begin this program and I look forward to seeing your children develop their literacy skills.

Thank you,

Ms. Toor

Good morning families,

A couple things to note this week:

Thank you again to families who were able to join us for our first family reading! Looking forward to the next one in December along with a portfolio share before the holidays (stay tuned for our December Calendar).

TD Grade 1 Book Giveaway

Today your children will be bringing home a book called “Fast Friends” by Heather M. O’Connor. Each year the TD Grade 1 Book Giveaway gives a book to each student in Grade 1. The book is yours to keep at home and add to your own libraries. Enjoy this story together as a family!

Continue to read as a family each day using “just right” books

Family Reading

On Friday November 18th we are going to have our first Family Reading morning. Please come join us for some reading during our soft start in the morning at 8:50-9:10am (ishhh) in our classroom. If it is successful and there is a good turn out, I would love to make it a consistent event on Fridays for the rest of the year! Looking forward to having this event again in our school/ classroom! We have lots of books and stories, but feel free to bring some favourites from your home!

Thank you!
