WOW words:
All students, with the exception of three, now have their first 10 spelling words for the week. They are written on the back of the temporary agenda. If your child is one of the three who does not yet have their words, they will by tomorrow (they haven't made 10 mistakes yet!). Our first Spelling test will on Friday and will continue as such for the year. Every word spelled incorrectly will be written out 10 x each at the back of their Spelling booklets and be included in your child's next WOW words the following week. If a student spells that same word wrong again on the second test, they must write it out 20 x each. This pattern continues until the word is spelled correctly.
Math:
This week's homework will be to complete any unfinished class work. I give a good amount of time in class to complete all work, as I circulate and support where needed. If it comes home, it is because they didn't complete it in class. Please keep in mind, our homework guideline is grade x 10 minutes for homework, so in our case, 3 x 10 = 30 minutes of night of homework. If you are exceeding this time, and frustrations are growing, just write me a quick note in your child's agenda to let me know you tried to complete it in the 30 minutes but were unable.
Early Entry:
Reminder to try get your child to school for 8:45 early entry so they can get properly prepared for the day. This involves unpacking their backpacks at their lockers, changing into their indoor shoes, bringing all necessary materials to their seats, filling out the agenda, changing their books and starting the morning task. This all takes time, so your cooperation is very much appreciated. Thank you!
That's good for now!
