Dear parents,
As we commence the start of our last term, I just wanted to say a big thank you for all your constant support towards the class and the kids. We have packed few months ahead and fingers crossed we'll be able to pull through!
Please note that there will be a small change with P.E. classes starting this week. On Day 2, students usually have PE during 2nd period. This will now become swimming. This means, students will have swimming twice per cycle on Day 2 and Day 6.
I would also like to get your point of view on beginning a class wide chapter book reading. This means, the whole class will be reading and responding to the same book. We have a class copy and I usually ask the students if they would like to purchase their own. I will be assigning reading at home from the book at times, while others we will read and respond together in class. The whole purpose of this is to develop habits of discussing, interacting, and responding to a book all together. Students will look at strategies to look up challenging words, comprehension skills, and character plot and analyzing. Please do let me know if that is okay for the students to buy their own copy. From previous years, the students really enjoy reading this book and connect with the characters in so many ways. Regardless of the level, it's a great opportunity.
The book title is: 'Wonder' by R.J. Palacio.
Thank you again and again. Looking forward to hearing back from you!
