Dear Parents,

            This is just to let you know that every Monday your child will bring home 5 new spelling words to practise. However, you should know spelling does not count towards your child’s Language Arts mark. My spelling program is to encourage the recognition of words and use of phonics to help assist your child in becoming active in their reading and writing skills.

            To help your child with their writing please consider the following. Give your child the opportunity to write down:

-         Shopping / Grocery lists

-         Writing stories

-         Keeping a journal/diary

-         Writing letters and cards for friends and family

-         Buying word cards from Dollarama

Are just a few ways to encourage your child to start writing.

Happy Thanksgiving

Dear Families,
Have a great long weekend!

Your child did their first Spelling Test on Friday! I am sending it home to be signed and to be brought back. Please assist your child with learning these 5 words: an, man, can, ran, fan. 

Please remember your child needs to read 10 minutes a day - this will help with their reading comprehension and phonic skills of sounding letters out. Please enforce good reading habits by:

1. Looking at the pictures
2. Sounding the words out
3. Reading the letters in the word

Have a safe and happy long weekend.
Please ask your child about the words respect and being honest -  We talked about why we celebrate Thanksgiving! We need to be thankful for lots of things. Please ask your child what they are thankful for!

Take Care and see you on Tuesday!

Miss Mohammed
