A few bits for the week...
This week, we are beginning our NUTS About Homework Program. Students who bring completed and signed Spelling Homework back to school on Thursdays get to attach a “nut” to their squirrels. In addition, we've started collecting “nuts” for home reading. Your child has been supplied with a sheet of 5 bookmarks. Each day your child completes 15-20 minutes reading to an adult or older child, you can initial a nut on the bookmark (maximum 1 per day). When your child has 5 nuts initialled, he/she can bring the bookmark in to trade for a “nut” for his/her squirrel.
Our class has elected to have a Pyjama Day next Friday, November 27th along with our buddy class, Mrs. Scott's Grade 4s. Students are welcome to wear their PJs and bring a stuffed friend to join us for the day. Please note that they will still be going outside for recess so make certain your child brings appropriate outdoor clothes.
