Students completed on online survey today focussing on their attitudes towards writing.  This information will help to inform me on how to best program for students within the class and as individuals.

Reading: students are reminded bring a book to school to read, they are also invited to borrow books from the classroom.  Daily reading at home is encouraged.  When the school library schedule is created, we will be visiting it regularly to sign out books for enjoyment or research.  The Toronto Public Library is a wonderful place to borrow and sign out books or ebooks. 

MATH: math is everywhere.  Complete the entrance pass sheet and place it in the entrance bin by Friday Sept. 6th.


Indoor/Outdoor Shoes:  students are reminded to bring in a second pair of shoes to leave at school (in their lockers) to wear during the instructional day.  This minimizes dirt on our classroom floor as we do sit on the floor often and to ensure safety in the gym during physical activities.

A letter has been sent home focussing on the use of online tools such as blogs, wikis and gmail.  Please discuss this letter with your child and return the second form by Monday September 9th.  We will be beginning online activities next week  :o)
