Dear parents,

Yes it`s true we have restructured our weekly spelling and dictée to no longer include weekly oral tests. Instead the students will still be given word lists (posted on SpellingCity for English), however will be required to complete various word study activities to help with vocabulary development rather than memorization tests.

Mme Homeniuk, Div. 14

2013-2014

Dear Families,

Welcome to a new school year! I am excited to be back and looking forward to many successful and positive learning experiences with your child in the year ahead!

Here are some reminders and helpful information:

·         Open House 6-7 pm on Thursday, September 19^th, 2013. Hopefully you can all make it out to say hello and visit your child’s classroom.

·         The class is expected to enter and exit the school through the outside classroom door only. Students are also expected to have a pair of indoor shoes that are also used for P.E. with Mr. Tremblay as part of their required P.E. uniform along with shorts or pair of comfortable pants and a t-shirt. P.E. classes are on Tuesday afternoon and Friday morning.

·         Reading: Students independently read for a minimum of 15 minutes a day at school and I recommend at least another 15 minutes at home as part of daily homework. Also, Library Exchange occurs on Thursday and if books are not returned this day, students will be unable to take out new books.

·         Homework: In addition to daily reading there will be weekly dictee and spelling to be completed. Besides this, homework is generally assigned if students have not completed assignments in the allotted time in class or project work is assigned. I also encourage the regular review of math concepts being covered in class and practicing basic math facts (multiplication and division) through the use of various card, dice and/or online math websites.

·         Communication: The student planners are a great communication tool between home and school in addition to helping teach students organizational skills and will be checked and signed daily.

We also have a class website/blog that will be updated regularly as a tool to keep families informed of the happenings in class: http://mmehomeniuk.blogspot.ca/

Here you will also find a link to Student Blogs that each student will be contributing to and sharing with their class mates. The student’s blog site is designed only for use within a class, is password protected and is not made public on the Internet. In addition to this link there are other links to useful learning resources on the web and guidelines for internet safety.

Finally, please feel free to email me Natasha_Homeniuk@sd42.ca or contact at me at the school 604-463-7108 with any questions or concerns or to set up an appointment if you would like to arrange for a meeting.  I look forward to working with your child to create a fun, exciting and enjoyable learning environment for everyone!

Sincerely,

Mme N. Homeniuk
