December 3-7th

Posted: December 3, 2012

3 months has already passed. Wow! Where has the time gone? 3 more weeks until Christmas holidays are upon us. With that being said, we have much to accomplish. This week, we will be focusing on the letter Gg. A sound sheet will be placed in your child's reading bag tomorrow. We will also practice the letter Gg in cursive. Madame Lockerbie assited me with guided reading today. Your child will receive a new book on Monday and Wednesday as opposed to new book each night. This way, they can practice what they have been taught in our small groups in class. Guided reading affords me the time to work with your child in a small group setting while the others read their books either to themselves or a partners (depending on the day). That way there, I can tailor a mini-lesson on sounds, fluidity, comprehension, etc with a group of students who are reading the same level books. Our december video presentation is coming along well. We spent last week writing our rough copies. This week we will concentrate on revising our work and practicing what we have written in front of the class. My goal is to begin filming next week. We will also begin writing a draft copy for our letters to Santa. They need to be mail by December 12th, if I am to receive them prior to Christmas via Canada Post. In math, we are continuing our unit of patterns. Thus far. everyone seems to be enjoying themselves. I have witnessed great progress in their vocabulary as well. Bravo!   Reminders: Popcorn on Wednesday Library on Thursday December Scholastic orders due Friday Dec 7th. Christmas concert December 19th. Cheers, M.Glazier
