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.
