Sight words are words that frequently appear in most of the text people read BUT cannot easily be sounded out.  The more a child sees and recognizes these sight words, the more confident they become in reading!  Here is a list of the sight words that we have been working on since September.  Pointing these words out as you or your child reads is important. You can also make flash cards and play games with sight words!

Raz Kids Reading Program

Raz Kids is a wonderful digital resource to make reading and writing fun for your kids!  Follow the instructions sent home with your student. Login using the information provided on the card stapled to the inside of your student's communication book.  We will be looking at Raz Kids as a class this week so hopefully the children will be familiar with it soon!

Suggestions to help develop fine motor strength

If it was suggested to help your child strengthen their fine motor skills, here are lots of fun ideas!  We work on this daily at school too!

These 2 students have been displaying the character trait of COURAGE!  They each come into the school like big Junior Kindergarten students ready to start their day!  Clara and Abel will be acknowledged with a certificate next Friday, November 24th (1:40  pm) at the spirit assembly.  You are being asked to wear GREEN please.  All are welcome!

Organizational Ideas

Occasionally, we forget things! I understand that.  I am a parent too and life gets very busy. However, if you want to help your child be organized and set them up for success, here are a few pointers.

1) What comes out of the backpack (mailbag, library book, reading folder)  goes RIGHT back in when finished with it.

2) Have a basket by your exit door so it's easy access every morning.

3)  If the students like to have their books at bedtime, have a school basket on a nightstand or beside the bed on the floor. Everything goes into the backpack each morning.

4) Keep our classroom calendar posted where the student can see it.  Highlight things such as Library Day and look at that calendar each morning.

Setting your child up for success will benefit them in all of their years of schooling.  Starting in Grade 1, it is an expectation to bring a school agenda daily.
