-Chapel presentations are this week. The Grade 3's & 4's will be singing and reading the poems they have written. The Terry Fox walk will take place after Chapel.

-The Grade 4's handwriting is due this Friday.

-I have sent home a copy of the spelling sentence unit words for the year. I will send an electronic copy to everyone as well, just in case the hard copy gets misplaced. I will not send a list every week.

-The transition from Grade 2 to Grade 3 is sometimes a difficult one. There are a number of things that are expected from the Grade 3 students this year that they may not be used to. Time management, when working on spelling sentences and handwriting for example, may be something that your child has not encountered yet. At the beginning of the year, students may take more time to do their work as they are adjusting. Having said this however, they should not be working more than 30 minutes on homework per night. If that is the case, please stop at 30 minutes and let me know that the work is not complete because of time.

-Grade 3 and 4 students should be reading 20-30 minutes every evening. I will be sending home a note about what your child should be doing when reading, and how you can help support them.

If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me.
