September 7, 2010

Welcome to our Class Blog! Most of the links on this blog were set up for last year's Grade Three class, but some of them will work for Grade One as well. Rattle around and see what you can come up with! (The links are listed on the right hand side of this page. Just click on the link and you'll be taken to the site listed.)

I'll use this blog to post daily announcements, homework assignments, reminders, "bouquets", etc. Anyone is welcome to comment on the blog online; you just have to set up your own blog before you can comment. Setting up a blog is relatively easy: just go to www.blogspot.com and follow the prompts there.

Our class has 17 students enrolled to date. The students are: Joie, Sarah, Ethan, Joshus, Lloyd, Patrick, Mily, Andre, Wyatt, Ysabelle, Andy, Matteo, Adrian, Bryzen, Athena, Zoe, and Anis.

Our library book exchange is scheduled for Tuesday afternoons. We checked out books this afternoon but are keeping the chosen books at school for the time being.

Today's agenda items include:
1. Book orders are due Friday. You're invited (but not required) to make purchases; please send payment with your order. Thanks.
2. Family handbooks were sent home today.
3. Book bags were also sent home today. Please read the books in the bags to or with your child and return the bag with all its contents (each bag should have a book or two, a "Parent Tips" sheet, and a game or activity) tomorrow. We'll be swapping these books daily.

We've been reviewing colour words, initial consonants on words, and some sight words. Your child should be able to instantly recognize the following words: the, I, is, and stop.

Finally, I thought I'd give you a little advance notice for our September "Meet the Teacher" night. It'll be held this Thursday evening from 6:30 - 7:30. It'll be short and sweet; hope to see you here!
