Literacy

Last week I read this mentor text to our class as a way of modelling thinking while reading, great oral reading with expression, to review the characteristics of a narrative, and to get their creative juices flowing.  From there each student was asked to write a paragraph for me about their summer vacation.  This was a diagnostic activity.

We also have been spending time daily doing independent reading.  Check out our fantastic "level 4" readers.

We have also begun our first Health unit.  We will be learning about personal safety while using various personal electronic devices.  Please go to the "Parents Place" page of our website and read health parent letter 1.  It has been provided for your information.
