TO BE UPDATED:
P.E. ** . It is important that students wear running shoes – no sandals or crocs (for safety). These could be their inside shoes which they keep in their cubbyholes in the cloakroom. They should also wear clothing that they can be physically active in – no dresses or skirts on gym days please.
Planners – at 10:50 daily. Students write a message in their planners each day for parent information about things upcoming in the class or school – notices will be placed in the plastic front pocket. It is an important part of the “Personal Planning” curriculum to teach the importance of communication, responsibility, and organization. Please read these notes with your child each day, sign your initials so I know that you have read it, and ensure that your child returns the planner to school each day. You may also communicate with me as well by putting a note in the front pocket. Please do not write on the student sections of the planner as that is where the students record their messages.
Reading Groups – Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 9:20-10:25. Students in the class are divided into literacy groups, according to ability, for instruction in Reading.
Library Visits ** to be determined – Students will be allowed to sign out one book per week, initially. Later on, they should be allowed to sign out two books. These books can come back to school any day up to the next day’s visit and placed in our Library Book Return tub. Please help your child remember to return their books each week. Our librarian is Mrs. Buchanan.
Music –Mondays from ** and Wednesdays from **. Music instruction is given by Ms. Petrovska.
Computer Lab – Our computer time is on Tuesdays from **. We will begin our lessons shortly. If you haven’t done so already, please send in a pair of headphones for your child to keep and use at school. I will write your child’s numerical Username and their Password on the front page of their Planners (so they want to access the school site from home), once I get them from the Office.
Buddies with Divisions 2 and 4 – We will be meeting with our Buddies each Friday afternoon from 2:00 – 2:50. We will be setting our Buddy groups soon. Each child in our class will have one ‘buddy’ from each of the two divisions – so groups of 3 (sometimes 4, as the older grades have more students than we do).
