We will be holding interviews Thursday night and Friday morning. We are very booked up meeting with parents we requested an interview with. If we did not request an interview at this time, we apologise but we may be unable to meet with you over the next two days.
Problems with Raz Kids Accounts. Lately, it seems that some children have fallen victim to someone who has gone into their account and have used up all their points. This is very disappointing and I trust that this will be stopping immediately. Many students have had their passwords changed because of this.

Please bring back your forms that went home yesterday for those who did not complete them online.
We have been working on adjectives. An adjective describes a noun. A noun in a person, a place or a thing. Example the purple costume. Costume is the noun and the word purple describes the noun so it is the adjective.
HOMEWORK:Please come up with two adjectives for each noun below and write them in your agenda.
1. apple
2. car
3. pumpkin
Please note-The Raz Kids leveled books do not match up 100% with the PM Benchmark books. If you find your child is having trouble at the assigned level go down a level or two and gradually move through the levels.

Media Permission Forms and Technology Agreement Forms have gone home today for families that did not complete them online. Please complete and return to school NO LATER THAN FRIDAY, OCTOBER 25th.
I have been able to read with all the children. Reading levels for Raz Kids in English have all gone home.
By the end of grade 2, the benchmark is to have most of our students reading English somewhere between levels M-P on Raz Kids. Of course if they can read beyond those levels that is super and they will be encouraged to read higher leveled books.
It should be noted that decoding is only one aspect of the reading. We will be focusing on having the children understand what they read. Many students can decode books at a much higher level than they comprehend so an emphasis will be placed on reading comprehension this year.
Please do not worry if you feel your child is far off this reading target, we have a lot of learning time. Also,this is the first year the children have had an English class so with practice a lot of the children will advance through the levels. Practice at home is key to their success.
Leona and Ice Cube came back to class with great adventures to share. They have gone home today with two other friends and we look forward to their return and stories tomorrow. Leona and Ice Cube do not go home on the weekend as that is their time to freshen up!

Today the class mascots, Ice Cube and Leona went home with two friends. Please remember to bring them back tomorrow. I can not wait to hear about all the fun things they do tonight.
I am currently reading with all the children to see their reading level. Notes will be going home this week to let you know roughly what levels they should be reading at on Raz Kids. It is not an exact science but a rough guideline on where they should be reading. They can move past these levels as they finish the books within these levels.

Hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving weekend.
Please sign in to your new XtraMath account. Please practice. I would like the children to try to do XtraMath at least 3 times a week. It should take no more than 10 minutes per session and it is recommended not to do it more than once a day. You can pick what days work best for your schedule each week.
XtraMath® helps students transition from counting or calculating the basic math facts to recalling them. Quickly recalling math facts, instead of calculating them, frees up mental resources for higher-level operations.
XtraMath’s timed activities encourage students to answer questions as quickly as possible. When combined with the spaced repetition of problems, this efficiently develops recall. The three-second threshold is carefully selected to be long enough to type in a recalled answer but not long enough for the student to comfortably enter a counted or calculated answer.
XtraMath can be done on a Chromebook or a computer. It can also be done on an Ipad tablet or phone but you must purchase the app for a tablet or phone.
Please note that Thursday, October 17 is class photo day and picture retake day.
