Happy Thanksgiving Weekend and Notes to Sign and Return

Tomorrow, Friday, October 11 is a PD day and there are no classes.
As well, Monday is a holiday and there are no classes.

TWAS will be coming home tonight - please remember to sign, comment and return for next Tuesday.  We have incorporated the senses into our writing this week.

From time to time, various assignments will be coming home in your child's red folder.
If there is a SIGN AND RETURN stamp on it - please review it with your child, sign and return it promptly as we will be using it in class.

Please review them with your child, asking them what they learned and how they could improve.
It is good for them to practice verbalizing their learning in different settings.  It is more difficult to explain a concept at home when there is not the background knowledge of understanding that is in place in the classroom.  Please remember this when talking with your child if they are unable to recall a concept or response - this does not mean they didn't learn anything!  Try helping them recalling information by telling them what you see and prompting with broader questions such as:   "It looks like you were working on how the brain works.  What do you know about the brain?"

This week assignments from our Health unit on Growth and Fixed Mindset will be sent home.
They need to be signed and returned on Tuesday so we can glue them into our Creative Journals.
I have highlighted answers that need attention in yellow so that you can review these with your child.

Some students also have SOUND/LETTER/ACTION check in sheets coming home to sign and return.  These are the sounds we have been reviewing to date and shows how much your child has retained of the concepts covered.  We will be assessing these on an on-going basis.

Students that have shown they are confident with there sound/letter combinations will not be receiving these assessments.
