Friday, Sept. 21, 2018


Information
Students received their library books this week.  If they are finished reading their books, they may return the books to school on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday and select new books.

Home Reading
On Monday our home reading program will begin.  A reading sheet will be sent home along with your child’s book.  Please write the title of the book and initial the sheet to indicate that the reading has been completed.  Students are welcome to read the books provided by the school, or they can read a “just right” library book or book from home.  To build student confidence, the books sent home for the first couple of weeks might seem easy.  Please encourage your child to practice reading these books fluently and use expression.

Terry Fox
This year we will once again be doing a Toonies for Terry fundraiser. Our school's goal is to raise $1200.  Please bring in a Toonie for Terry starting Monday, Sept 17 or you can donate online at www.terryfox.org

To donate online click the menu icon in the top right corner of the terryfox.org website, then click Donate today.  Then choose to 'donate to a student/school'.  You will need to type 'Panorama Hills' in the search bar and click on our school. All donations done electronically will also count towards our goal of $1200. 
If students are able to collect additional pledges they are free to do so with parent/guardian permission and that would be terrific.  We will be collecting Toonies for Terry until our run day, which is Thurs. Sept. 27 at 1:00 PM. 

Homework
-Reading
-Start practicing the spelling list provided at conferences
-Practice skip counting by 2, 5 and 10 forwards and backwards (a 100 chart will be sent home next week for students to refer to)

Ask me about:
How can you do a quick check to see if a book is a “just right” book?
 Read one page in the book.  If there are more than 3 words that you can’t decode or understand, then the book is probably too hard.
