Month: November 2023

Hi families,

Family Reading

Just a reminder that tomorrow is our final Family Reading morning of 2023. We will start at the first bell a 8:50am. In December we will have a morning where we will invite families in to have a portfolio share to show all our work over the term. Date to be announced but will be before the first term reports go home.

Popcorn Sale

We still have bags to sell for our fundraiser. We have all the flavours but the Butter Salt kind. If you would like to purchase another bag please bring $3 tomorrow.

Thank you,

Ms. Toor

 

Good morning families!

Popcorn Sale!

Tomorrow the school is having a Popcorn Sale to raise money for our Winter Concert and Choir.

If you child is wanting to buy please bring $3 in an envelope or bag with their name on it and what flavour they are wanting to buy. As of right now I am not sure when the sale will occur and it would be easier if I kept the money until the sale happens to avoid any misplaced coins.

Book Fair

Next week Suncrest will be hosting the Scholastic Book Fair on Monday December 4, Tuesday December 5 and Friday December 8. It will be open after school on those days from 3-4pm and open to our class during our Library time on Tuesday.

Sent home yesterday was a notice that shared some of the books available to purchase. As Our students in Division 12 are younger and may require adult assistance to make meaningful purchases at the book fair, we recommend students to look around with their families on Monday after school before making purchases during our Library visit on Tuesday.

Please have a conversation together prior to our Library visit to the book fair Tuesday and select some books your child might want to purchase. When sending your child to school with money please write their name on a bag/ envelope, write down the dollar amount and the book titles or photos they are wanting to purchase as Ms. Ho and I can help support them.

Thank you for all your support! Last year this worked really well for my Grade 1s and helped the 30 minute visit to the book fair run very smoothly.

Good morning families!

Tomorrow is our next spirit day!

Glamorous (Glam day) is a day where students get to wear their most fabulous outfit! Could be one that is the most dazzling, sparkling or an outfit you enjoy wearing! 

This could include ties, tiaras, sparkly/ bejewelled items or something flashy.

Wear your most “Glam outfit” and earn a  point for your house team! All points added up throughout the year will contribute to the total number on Sports Day in June!

Thank you and looking forward to seeing everyone’s outfits!

Ms. Toor

Good morning families!

Guided Reading Books (Book Bag)

Yesterday we started our guided reading take home book program. Each Thursday your child will bring home a new book to focus on. Please have your child bring their book bag to school each day as we will practice both at school and at home. In the classroom we will also be focusing on pre, during and post reading strategies with our books as well.

Grade 1s are working on decoding text and developing their reading strategies.

Some Grade 2s are working on decoding text as well, comprehension and are focusing on reading out loud with fluency and expression.

Looking forward to working as a team with families!

 

Raz-Kids

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
