Week of September 3-6, 2013
Greetings to the new students in my class for 2013-14. I'm looking forward to meeting and getting to know all of you during this first week. We will jump right in to the school year with some ice breaker activities and some Math and Language reviews. As the first week goes by we will be preparing for the first Math unit in Number Sense and the first Language activities with News Journals and a novel study. Also upcoming are our preparations for field trips to the Ontario Legislature and Warren Park See you soon!
This blog will function as a weekly homework listing and be archived as the week ends. Be sure to check out my class web page at http://areynolds.org/ all year long. Plenty of useful stuff is posted, including downloads of class handouts which you should use to replace lost work.
At the bottom of this blog page is a calendar for the year. I have updated it for September and am working on finishing the rest of the year. I also use the calendar to make note of tests, field trips and other school events. I urge you to subscribe to the blog posts to receive daily updates of your's child's activity. I do make time each day for agenda writing by the student's and you should ask to see that book on a daily basis, but this page is a useful complement to that routine.
Friday HW
1. One roll of paper towel and one box of Kleenex tissue requested for class use please. Thank you to those who have already brought some in. Doing so frees up budget money that I can spend on other big ticket items for the class.
On Fridays and holidays I assign no formal homework, with rare exceptions. Without EQAO in the background these exceptions will likely be even rarer. I would encourage parents to have their students read regularly for a set time over the weekend -- 25 minutes is a good number.
We had a very good introductory week. The students in our class are bubbly and friendly. We are working on improving our work habits and productivity but the boys and girls have a pleasant friendly outlook so far. Thank you for sending them to school in such good spirits!
Only a few students have forms that are yet to be handed in. I would appreciate your efforts to send them all in by Monday if you haven't yet so that I can turn my attention to OSR reading and other planning. Have a good weekend!
Thursday HW
1. We worked on Number Sense #4 for 35 minutes in class today. It was completed by almost all students. I checked agendas and each student was bringing home the four pages to use as a study guide for the quiz.
