That being said, if you choose to keep your child home, and they are not sick or isolating, we are not going to be sending home homework for them to catch up on. This information has come directly from Andrea.

Homework for the Week of September 27th, 2020 - due on Friday, October 2nd, 2020

 Happy Sunday Everybody! 

I would like to let everybody know that school pictures will be taken on Monday, September 28. Please wear formal uniforms for this occasion. This week it is Orange Shirt Day, on Wednesday, September 30. Students are encouraged to wear an orange shirt for this day with their navy pants/shorts/skirt or under their tartan dress.  It is NOT a casual day but rather just an opportunity to wear orange with our uniform.

This week our homework is going to be due on Friday, October 2. This will also be the day of our second spelling test. The words can be found below:

Spelling Tasks:

1. Read your spelling word list and make sure you understand the meaning of each word.
   
   
2. Write out each of your words once using a pencil, once using a pencil crayon, and once using a marker. Each word should be written 3 times altogether. 
   
   
3. Choose 8 of your spelling words, and write a sentence for each word. Put a circle around the spelling word in the sentence. 

Reading Task:

10 minutes of reading is expected to be completed every night. 

Math Tasks: 

1. On Monday (tomorrow), I will be giving your students their Mathletics login usernames and passwords. For math homework, I would like them to familiarize themselves with Mathletics and complete some of the activities that I have assigned to them. 
   
   
2. I would like the students to write 3 of their own increasing patterns into their notebook, and I would like them to write a sentence that explains the rule. 
   
   For example, if my pattern is
   
                      X                      XX                  XXX                 XXXX
   
   Then the sentence that I would write for my rule would say: You add one X to the pattern in every step. 

         They have completed a similar task in class so they should know what to do. 

Science Tasks (Optional):

1. Last week we had been working on creating animal "trading cards" to help us learn what groups to classify different living things into. Students may be bringing home their trading cards to complete this week. For this, they will need to finish up the pictures on the back of their cards. The pictures are expected to be fully coloured to the best of their ability. These can be turned in, whenever they are completed in the Ziploc baggie that they were sent home in.  

As per usual, please let me know if you have any questions, and have a wonderful week!!

Miss. Shevchuk

Weekly Homework Update!

 Hello Everybody!

I wanted to take this opportunity to create a post about the weekly homework activities so everybody has a bit of notice before I make my first posting. Weekly homework assignments will be posted every SUNDAY and are to be handed in the following FRIDAY. In addition, students are required to read for at least 10 minutes each night.

The homework assigned will be based on the learning that is happening in the classroom and/or a review of concepts we have already covered.

Some of the homework will be colour-coded. Your child will know what section they are to complete based on their assigned colour-coded group.

Homework is to be completed in the homework book. Homework books will go home on MONDAY and are to be returned the following FRIDAY. These are the blue books in your student's yellow protective folder. 

Parents: Please review and make sure your child's homework is completed and help your child with any necessary corrections. Once you have confirmed it is complete and correct, please initial each page. If there are any loose pages, staple or glue these pages into the homework book so they don’t get lost. 

PLEASE AVOID PRINTING OFF HOMEWORK SHEETS. HAVE YOUR CHILD COPY THE ANSWER OR DRAW THE PICTURE/CHART INTO THEIR HOMEWORK BOOK (SAVE OUR TREES). IF YOU DO NEED TO PRINT OFF THE SHEET, PLEASE GLUE OR STAPLE SHEET INTO THE HOMEWORK BOOK!

If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to let me know!

Thank you!
