Notes for the week of November 19th 2012

Bonjour everyone,

Please take a minute to read through these changes/reminders for this week. There are a few changes and a few very important things to remember!

- This week there is no dictée, as we are focusing on our three day write, which will be done in class.

- Tomorrow we have swimming as usual!

- On Thursday of this week, we will have a celebration (test) on addition and subtraction. I gave a pop-celebration this morning so that I could see which students need a little more practice. I sent the pop celebrations home today so that you can see too. The most common mistakes were with regrouping in subtraction, and forgetting to write the carry overs in addition. Your help with working on this at home is much appreciated!

- Incase you missed it, the schedule for goal setting conferences is now up in the main hallway of the school. Don't forget to sign up!

- On Friday afternoon, Mme Krystyna was in our class and took a look at pencil grips. Many students need to work on how they hold their pencils. She gave pencil grips to students who need them. These grips are to stay at school for use at school. If you would like your child to use a pencil grip at home, they are available for purchase at educational stores. Let me know if you need more information. I will be sending home some information on pencil grips for you to help your child at home. We will also be starting some work on printing and then cursive in class, which will require students to hold their pencil properly.
