Week of September 8-11, 2015
Thursday HW
1. Number Sense practice 3.0. There will be a quiz based directly on the practice practice pages we are doing this week. The fourth one is going out tomorrow. I do not assign weekend homework so it will be completed in class.
2. Please bring a roll of paper towel and box of Kleenex tissue for class use. Thanks!
3. Yellow forms filled in and returned.
4. A lice check form was sent home today. Signing up for this service is voluntary. Students are to return the form and toonie directly to the office if you choose to sign up..
1. Number Sense practice 2.0. I have reminded the boys and girls that long division is difficult and will likely require several tries. If a student makes an honest effort to try a problem and doesn't get it, that is fine with me -- practicing and building skill is what we're here to do.
2. Please bring a roll of paper towel and box of Kleenex tissue for class use. Thanks!
3. Yellow forms filled in and returned.
4. Bring a photo of yourself that you can cut up.
The class seem like a wonderful bunch so far. They are eager to participate and share ideas. They have been very cooperative in helping bring the lunch bins up for Primary classes and they have taken to our routines well in the early going. Thank you for the reinforcement at home and for sending well-rested kids to school each day.
Tuesday HW
Greetings to the new students in my class for 2015-16, which will be Runnymede's Centennial Year. 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.
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. My current updates are in progress but should be complete by next week. Plenty of useful stuff is posted, including downloads of class handouts which you should use to replace lost work. As part of my Eco-Schools effort I am reducing the number of extra photocopies I am producing. Usually the document can be downloaded and printed by students, using my web page as needed, by students.
At the bottom of this blog page is a calendar for the year. I have updated it for 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 child's activity. I do make time each day for agenda writing by the students and you should ask to see that book on a daily basis, but this page is a useful complement to that routine. I will not be signing agendas each day, but you are welcome to do so and include any notes in it that you would like to have me look over. Please have your child alert me to the note in the morning.
Let's have a great year!
