Welcome Back to another school year- 2009-2010!

I wish to welcome all the new Grade 1s and 2s to my classroom. I have some fun things, (as well as all that ’school stuff’) planned for this year, and we’ve had a great 2 weeks to start it off.

Planners go home every night as a link from school to home. Remember to check them for notes and up-dates.

The nightly reading program is going well, and everyone is settling into a routine as we figure out those ‘just-right-book’ levels. We’ve even had a few brave souls who were willing to read their books to the whole class. Bravo!

 Our first Downtown Library trip will be Tuesday, September 15th.  A note will be going home prior to the date to remind those people who HAVE cards- to send them along. New cards will be processed on Tuesday for others.

In Math, we are working through ‘Number Sense and Numeration’- please ask your child about the ‘balloon’.

This coming Thursday, is our ‘Meet-the-Creature ‘ahhh …I mean “Teacher”…night for all Tilbury Area Public School students. Looking forward to seeing everyone there!

 If you cannot make it, please do not hesitate to contact me, and we can set up another time!

I think that’s it-one of my goals this year is to spend a little more time on the computer…. (September/October 2008…how embarassing!)

P.S. I do send paper copies of newsletters  to everyone though…..so always check that backpack!
