Questionnaire

Please take a minute to complete this short questionnaire below.

JK/SK Leaders

         Here are a few pictures of the leaders for PALS today. I always like to see the students get excited to lead the class!

         Also, the JK/SK class has been getting letter sound stamps in the morning. I put a stamp on their hand before we do morning prayer so they know which hand to use for the sign of the cross. So I thought, let's make it cross-curricular and have the stamp be a letter sound we are working on. Today we were working on the "u" sound so you may notice a little "u" (as in umbrella) on your son/daughters right hand.

Grade 3 - James and the Giant Peach

Good Monday Morning!

         In Grade 3 we are working on Retell while reading James and The Giant Peach by Roald Dahl. It is one of my favourite read alouds to do with the students. One of the activities the students like to do is to roll the "Retell Cubes." I purchased these foam cubes a few years ago, and they are always a hit with the students. There are many different retell questions that are on them.

Each day before we begin our partner reading, I read a short chapter and we discuss what we have read.

Roll-a-Word (Grade 1's)


Today the Grade 1's had fun playing "Roll-a-Word" before partner reading. The students took turns rolling and reading the sight words.
