Happy Moon Festival!
Thank you so much to everyone for the delicious cakes and treats! You are so kind =) I will have a full tummy over the long weekend.
I had wanted to have a small Moon Festival celebration at the end of the day today as well as read out all the kind posts on our Kindness Wall and award a certificate to the student with the most good deeds. Unfortunately, due to several behaviour issues, this was not possible. I hope we can resume good listening and respectful behaviour on Monday. I hope everyone has a safe, restful, and happy holiday.
Homework:
1. Phonics: Students who were unable to finish their Phonics work this morning will be asked to finish over the weekend. The pages are 32-34 from their blue Phonics book.
2. Math: We have been spending a lot of time learning how to solve word problems. I realize how daunting and difficult this is for the students when reading is still challenging for them. I have told them to use three steps to help them.
1. Look for words that you know. (including math words, such as greater, less, fewer etc)
2. Draw a picture or use a number line
3. Check your answer
I would like them to try doing numbers 1-2 on page 28 of their Math textbook. We have done pages 25-27 together as practice over the past few days. I just want to see that they are using some of the strategies they have learnt. We will go over it all together again on Monday.
3. Spelling Test: As usual we will have a spelling test on Monday. The students usually write out their words once a day Monday-Friday. Since this is a shorter week than usual they are missing two days of practice so please have them study their words at home over the weekend.
