Dear Parents and families,

The students have been making a lot of progress on their literacy skills. One
way we can continue to improve their literacy skills is by providing children
with opportunities to read books that are at their level. I have recently
assessed all students on reading. I will be updating students level on razkids.
Please ensure your child is reading on a daily basis as reading practice will
provide them with opportunities to practice all of the strategies we are
working ion in class. Fluency (reading with expression/punctuation and pacing,
etc.) will be a focus for many students this term. A great strategy for
practicing fluency is going back and re-reading. When students go back and
re-read it not only improves their fluency, but accuracy and comprehension as
well. If you are experiencing any difficulties accessing razkids, please let me
know ASAP as we are heading into the term two reporting period and students
are progressing in their reading ability at a faster pace.
We would like to plan a potluck for the families and students in the Grade One
Classes. We have come up with a couple of different dates. Please check the
date that works best for you and your family. We will notify everyone what day
works best for most families. Please check off one of the following items you
would like to bring to the potluck as well. Thank you! If you would like to assist
in set up and take down please let us know. We will take part in a fun family
activity after the potluck that will allow for you to record some of your familys
memories in a neat way! Looking forward to it.
Ryan Dignean
