We have started our second week of the half term, and the kids are getting even more excited about our unit on ancient civilizations! We are very excited that this unit will end with a fantastic learning journey. We will give you more details in the next couple of weeks.
This week:
Wednesday Holiday- There will be no school on Wednesday, March 4th.
New Spelling Program “Words Their Way”- An information pamphlet was sent home on Friday. Students have received their new word sorts today and have placed them in small envelopes. I’ll provide them with plastic “ziplock” bags ASAP. Please ensure the envelope or bag returns to school each Friday. Students will also be receiving new spelling books to bring to and from home, which are bigger to allow for more word study. On occasion, you may notice a word is spelled using American spelling. As a Canadian, I most often use the British spelling of words (e.g.: colour not color). However, being an international teacher and in an international school, I accept either way of spelling on tests or in writing, as does the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program. Please do not worry about which way to spell certain words. If you have any questions about Words Their Way, please ask. I have used Words Their Way for the past few years with great success. :c)
Book week is coming- March 16-20! The theme of book week this year is “Read Around the World!” We’ll have many reading activities this week and a few fun competitions. The week will culminate with the annual storybook character parade! Start planning those great costumes! In the past, I’ve invited parents in to read a story to the class in their native tongue. I’ve had stories read in Korean, Afrikaans, French and Japanese to name a few. The kids might not understand, but it’s really great to hear stories in other languages and it makes that student feel special that their mom or dad is reading in a language they know. If any of you would be interested in reading a short picture book to the class in your native tongue, please let me know and I’ll schedule a time for you to come in. (Note: you’ll have to provide the book!) If your native tongue is English, but you have a great storybook about the part of the world you’re from, please feel free to volunteer.
Have a great week!
Kind regards,
Mrs. G.
