Dear Parents and Guardians,

  We continued to work on Instructional Writing this week. Have your child read our Wall Story to you. As they read, listen for fluency (smooth reading, at a good speed, with expression).

Home Reading Reminder: As you are reading with your child each night, please have them read the book at least 3 times. This will assist your child with increasing their speed, fluency and expression. Also, if your child makes a reading error, please have them reread the WHOLE sentence with correct word inserted, as this will help to develop their ability to self-correct mistakes.

We started a new art project that we will be completing next week. Here is a sneak peek. Ask your child to tell you what they drew and what medium they have started to colour with.

Today we had our first Flex Friday. The students created a project based on the book "The Dot" by Peter H. Reynolds. Ask your child which teacher they worked with.
