Friday the 13th!

Div. 13 has had a busy first week; getting to know each other, learning expectations and also getting organized.  Thanks to all of you that sent back forms and sent in school supply money.   If you haven't had a chance yet please send in the GREEN Getting Acquainted Form, the BLUE verification form as soon as possible.  This year there is a contest for the class that returns all the verification form the fastest, so please send these in and maybe Div. 13 will win a price!  Also if possible please ensure you fill out all the consent forms on the parent portal and send in inside shoes/running shoes asap (especially with our change in the weather!)

Thanks to everyone that was able to come for Family Reading it was wonderful to see so many parents.  I understand that many of you have to be at work and are unable to attend or can only come occasionally, please be assured that your child can always join another parent.

Each morning we do Name Boggle, finding as many words that can be made out of our special helper's name. This is an excellent literacy activity and the students are already very good at it.  When it is your child's special helper day they will bring their sheet home, if you could help them to find even more words that would be great. Take the time you need but please return as they like to share their results with their classmates and we will keep them for their memory books.  I hope you enjoy this family activity, it definitely gets your brain working and helps the students with rhyming, reading and writing skills!Name Boggle.
