Phonograms/Sight Words

This week I will be testing students on the single letter phonograms and the sight words we have learned :  a, big, down, go, in, my, red, the up, little.  If your child is experiencing difficulty and needs more home review, you will receive a notice.  Please use the booklets I sent home to review with your child.  Thank you to all parents who faithfully take time to review!  This is the beginning road to reading!

Also, each child needs to bring a plastic bag with their name written on it for their pumpkin.  Thank you for your attention and promptness.

September Reading Chart

Students may return the filled in September home reading chart.  I will send the October Reading Chart home on Monday.

Bible Memory

For the month of October, our Bible memory work will be Matthew 6:9-13.  Let's begin with vs. 9:  This, then, is how you should pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.  Please take time to review this at home in addition to our classroom practise.  Thank you!
