Tonight I sent home "address" labels for each parent to fill out. As part of our current Literacy writing theme, we are learning how to write letters, and need to know our address to do so! It would be great if you could have your child practice writing or saying their address from time-to-time to help it stick in their memory.

It's on its way! Just a note to tell parents about the note in our homework about bringing in a winter object. I've asked each student to bring in a winter-themed item to use as part of a display project for Literacy/ poetry. The item should be something that can stay in our upstairs display case until January.

Today your child came home with a list of spelling words which we will be studying for this month. The list is glued into their agenda at the beginning of the month of October, and has a tab marking it's spot. Some ideas for home study are: writing out words once only, spelling words as they are called out, putting them on recipe cards and using them as flash cards, chanting the spelling in funny voices, and making up words that rhyme with the spelling word. If you have a wipeboard, or chalkboard, use that for a fun change. If you want to make your own Word Wall at home, go for it and send us in a picture! In order to not overwhelm your child, we study only 5 words a week. The total time spent on spelling practice each night should be around 5 minutes. Have f-u-n!

Every year when school begins we do head checks for lice. Just a heads-up that I did a check today and will be checking next week again. Could parents please take a look at your child's hair this weekend just to make sure they're clear?

Did you know that research has found that the singlemost method for improving student reading is to ...just read? How easy is that? In 3/4 S we love to read! Students have started to read at home most week nights as part of their reading homework for a designated length of time. I am encouraging them to find a book that they love and give it a go.They may take books from the class or school library, or read from books at home or public library, too. It isn't necessary to record the book title or details about the reading time for me. Happy Reading everyone!
