Dear Families,
Welcome to a new
school year! I am excited to be back after a year of maternity leave 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 13th,
2012. Hopefully you can all
make it out to say hello and visit your child’s classroom, however if not we
can always arrange an alternate date and time. This is a good opportunity to
sign up for parent-teacher intake conferences as well.
·
Parent-teacher conferences take place on
Friday, September 21st
beginning at 12:15 pm. This is an early dismissal day, however I will not be
able to schedule in meetings for all families in this one afternoon so if you
have a particular date and time you would prefer to meet please let me know and
I will do my best to accommodate any alternate meeting dates.
·
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.
·
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 Tuesdays 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 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 you may have throughout the school year. I look forward to working with your child to
create a fun, exciting and enjoyable learning environment for everyone!
Sincerely,
