Hello everyone,
On Tuesday of this week we will be going snowshoeing with our
Grade 4 buddies in the afternoon so please wear snow pants or a snowsuit, hat,
mitts and boots. We are going to have a great time. Hopefully the weather works with us this
time.
Over the last couple of weeks I have been reading with the
students and the amount of progress they have made is amazing. Please encourage your child to keep reading
and using Raz kids. They should be able
to read for at least 5 – 10 minutes each night.
Reading every night is the key to making progress!! I am currently listening to sight words with
each student. Please continue to
practice all the sight words.
In Math we are adding and subtracting numbers to 12. We are learning about the senses in Science. Winter safety is discussed all the time and the
students are becoming experts in this subject area.
Just a reminder that the only day toys should be coming to
school is on Friday.
I have added a blend and diagraph page to my website. There are videos here to watch and a
reference page like the one I sent home about blends and diagraphs. We are now finished learning about the sounds
the short vowels make and after blends we will move to the long sounds the
vowels make and the rules that go with them.
I have added a couple of new videos.
Our Art Smarts project with local artist Catherine Wright will
begin the first week in February!! This
will be my fourth time working with Catherine.
She is a wonderful artist and I know the students will love working and
learning with her.
Information about Valentine’s Day and the 100th day
of School will come later.
Thank you for all your support, we are half way through our
school year! Where has the time
gone? Have a great week!!
Mrs. Murphy
