Dear
Parent/Guardian,
Hopefully you had a chance to
explore your child’s Show What You Know binder on te weekend. If you haven’t already
done so, please sign the front page and return as soon as possible. This binder will be coming home at various
times throughout the year showing you what your child has learned in class. It
may contain: math assessments, a record of your child’s current reading level,
a piece of writing, science worksheets and other pieces of your child’s work
for you to celebrate your child’s learning and academic growth. (Please do not
remove any of the work from the binder.)
This week
is Safe Schools Week and we will be practicing fire drills and lock down and
evacuation procedures. See the schedule below for details.
As always,
if you have any questions or concerns about your child’s learning at any time,
please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Coes

A
reas of Focus for October
15-19, 2018
Writing-
This week, students will continue to work on their Persuasive
Writing piece as we explore the use of linking words in their writing. We will
also complete whole-class activities using the resources in their Writer’s Toolkit.
Reading
- Students will
meet with me in small groups during Guided Reading, as we read and complete
activities using levelled books that match each students’ reading level.
Students receive new books at their reading level and one level above on
Tuesday. Please practice at home and complete the Reading Log.
Word
Work-
This
week, students begin using the Words Their Way program. Each
student will complete sorting activities related to their own differentiated
list of words. This child-centered approach replaces traditional spelling tests
and helps students recognize and learn how to apply sound, pattern, and meaning
in their word sorts and other text forms.
Numeracy-
Our whole-class lessons this week will focus on understanding
place value and representing numbers using base ten blocks. Students will meet
with me in small groups during Guided Math as we finish up math assessment #1.
Grade 3 students will be focusing on: fluency of math facts and place value to
100s. Grade 4s are working on fluency of math facts and place value to 1000s.
Science-
This week we continue our exploration of Sound. Students
will read, watch videos and complete experiments related to the question: what
would happen if we screamed in outer space?
Homework
The homework assigned is an extension
of class instruction and is meant for extra practice. Completed activities can
be kept at home. However, if there is an activity you would like to share with
me, please do so! :)
Reading
- Inside your child’s
Communication Bag are two levelled books based on their current reading level. Students should read for 15 minutes each night. Books at
their reading level are in their Communication Bag. They should complete the
reading log each night; please remember to sign it and place in the
Communication Bag.
