Yesterday was busy as usual! We reviewed the letter sounds 'a' and 's' and introduced 't'. Most of the students remember the letters and sounds. We also finished out Red booklet and it will be going home on Wednesday.
In Art class, we traced leaf shapes on to our sponge painted papers to create fall leaves for our classroom tree. It looks like autumn in our room now!
Today we review s,a,t and introduced 'i'. If your child is still uncertain of letters and sounds, remember to practice these at home. In grade one we do a quick review but the students really need to know their sounds. In fact, today we began writing in our Journals! The students did a good job!
Before lunch we divided into our school house teams and played some rousing games of Tug of War and a funny relay game. Lots of fun and one of the things that make Hillmond a great school - big kids and little kids working and playing together!
In gym, we are working on a Tag game unit. Today we played Vegetable Soup and Color Tag.
I am currently working on ERI testing. This testing gives me a good indication of each child's reading strengths and weaknesses. I will share the results of the testing with each parent when it is completed over the next 2 weeks.
Thanks so much for the clearly marked envelopes with school fees and Hot lunch. Makes it much easier for me.
Finally, if you wish to order Scholastic Books I will send the order in next Monday. Cheques only made out to Scholastic Canada. Thanks!
