We have had a productive week getting our books ready, making new friends and building a positive learning environment. Today the children are bringing home their readers. Below is a photo showing how to fill in the reading diary. The laminated book mark is for referring to if you need to give you or your child a prompt for decoding. We will becoming familiar with these decoding strategies through out the year. Sight words will be coming home on Monday.

Thank you to families who have returned the digital learning agreement form. Below are more notes that have hopefully made it home this week.

Children have a ‘read to self’ box in the classroom. This consists of readers, a library book and a book from home. Children can bring a fiction or non fiction book from home to put in their box.

We would love your empty boxes, bottle tops, etc for our making boxes. Also, if anyone would like to make us some play doh we would really appreciate it.

The children worked with a new friend to draw and paint a portrait of them. They are displayed in the corridor.

The children did some role playing of making strong and weak choices.

Overall we’ve had a good week (bit hot) and everyone is settling into the morning routine of Playful Learning.
