LA - Everyone should have handed in their narrative writings (stories) this past Friday.
We've got a new wordwork sheet, lesson #4, which is due Friday. Our wordwork this year is focussing on word parts - prefixes, roots, and suffixes. This will help students to have a base knowledge to attack new words they come across for the rest of their lives!
All students have started working on a book commericial - a short (3-5 minute) presentation about a book they have finished reading this year. They'll tell us the basics - who is in it, when and where does it take place - as well as why it's great and why we should all read it. They will also share a short excerpt (30 seconds to one minute of reading aloud) that shows what a great book it is.
A flier has gone home about subscribing to Owl magazine. We're getting it at a discount, so if it's something you're interested in, now is a great time to sign up!
Math - please keep practicing multiplication facts. Some of us are a bit rusty!
Reminders - Some students have decided to join the peer mediator program here at school, those forms need to be in by Wednesday.
Picture orders (or retake requests) are due Wednesday as well.
A permission slip for the cross country meet in Nackawic on Friday, October 4th, has gone home. Please have these back by Wednesday, Oct 2nd, at the latest. Students will need to bring snacks / lunch and drinks with them, and be dressed appropriately for running outside!

Week of September 16th
LA - students should be reading for about 20 minutes each night. Please have your student keep track in their homework book.
Stories are due Friday, as well as word work sheets. We've had lots of time to work on these in class, but some students may need to bring theirs home. The story can be a true one, or one that is completely made up. Good copies should be neatly done on looseleaf.
Math - students now have their logins for sumdog.com and are free to practice there as often as they / you would like. The school code is keswick_2 (no spaces)
School pictures are Wednesday, orders are due the following Wednesday, September 25th.
Meet the Teacher is this Thursday at 5:30! We'll begin in the gym and then have a quick classroom meet and greet, followed by a BBQ out on the playground. Hope to see you there!
Book orders are due this Friday. If you need to send it in after that, please let me know and I'll hold off ordering.

Week of September 9, 2013
All students now have Sumdog.com logins, and can practice as much as you let them at home! The questions will automatically find your child's level, so they'll actually be practicing their skills without getting frustrated, or things being too easy.
Due to lack of interest, we're no longer doing the Barnhouse orders for lunch on Friday. The cafeteria will be open from now on on Mondays and Fridays, offering one meal choice. Regular service will continue Tuesdays - Thursdays.
Meet the teacher is next Thursday, September 19th, at 5:30. We'll start out with a tour of the school / classrooms, and then a brief meeting followed by a BBQ outside. Hope to see everyone there!
A reminder that our school is nut free and strawberry free. There is a huge selection of nut-free "peanut butters" available. Many kids really like the "wow butter", mine included. I personally don't, but I do really like one called "no nuts", that's made from roasted peas. Sounds odd, but it's quite tasty! Sobey's tends to have a better selection of these products than Superstore for some reason.

First week of school!
Welcome!
We won't have any 'official' homework this week, because we've sent home enough paperwork to build 1000 paper cranes. There were 10 items which went home, 5 of which need to be checked / filled in / sent back. Many of you have sent everything in already (including the $20 student fee), which is great! If you haven't yet, please do as soon as possible so that Mrs. White, our admin assisstant, can relax.
We also got notice that our school pictures will be Wednesday, September 18. They're offering us the very cool green-screen background again, and there are lots of choices in the notice for your background. There are more choices on the Harvey's Studio website as well.
Starting next week, students will be expected to do some reading each night, and will have a homework tracker in their duotangs.
Happy Friday!
