Here are our mission objectives.

Math: Review counting strategies. Skip counting by 2, 5, 10, and 25 (counting quarters).

Science: Discover the properties of matter.

Language Arts: Learn how poetry creates an experience with rhythm, rhyme, and flow in language.

Social Studies: Use maps to help us understand our location in the world.

Bible: Learn how to honour God with our heart, soul, mind, and strength.

Your assignments, should you choose to accept them:

• Learn and practice your secret handshake.
• Practice counting with coins.
• Look for language that is pleasant or emotional (poetry, lyrics).
• Notice maps that help us find our location.
• Think of ways that we can honour God.

Important information.

Homework: Our homework will mostly be reviewing spelling or phonograms and reading 15 minutes each night. I will send notes home if we have a special project to do at home.

Spelling: We will spend the first several weeks of school reviewing spelling rules before we start our spelling list. Please spend this time reviewing phonograms and practicing sounding out words to recognize how we use phonograms in English.

PE: We have the gym on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Please bring your gym clothes to change into. Check out our schedule for more details.

Planners: Please remember to bring planners home for homework, important dates, and keeping track of permission slips. Parents can also write notes for me in here. Students will earn team points for bringing their planner and having it signed.

Criminal Record Check: Parents that would like to join us on field trips must have an up to date criminal record check on file with the office. Please speak with Kathy or Denise if you would like to have one done.

Hot Lunch: Students can buy pizza on Tuesdays for $2 per slice.

Students can pre-order hot dogs on Knight Days.

Headphones: We will use educational applications on our iPads. Please bring some headphones so that you will be able to use the audio portion.
