Thank you so much for being so generous! The grade ones collected 160 food items for the food bank on 100's day.
Please make sure your child is dressing appropriately for the weather. The snow is melting fast and the water on our playground is becoming a temptation and a problem in grade one. Splash pants and rain boots are a good idea, as well as an extra set of socks and pants in their backpacks.
Please encourage your child to keep reading and recording in their reading logs. Please use the time when your child is filling in their reading logs to make sure they are printing neatly, their letters are the appropriate size, and capitals are not being used inappropriately. If your child is reading blue books, you may find the books are too long to read in one sitting. Every time your child reads for about fifteen minutes they can stop and when they fill in their reading log, under opinion they can print "I read from page 1 - 11". Then the next day they can continue on reading for another fifteen minutes. This will allow them to still achieve ten pages in their reading logs at the same rate as before and collect their treats.
Thank you for all your support,
S. Wellington :)
