Student Planners
Student planners are used as a home - school communication tool. During the last period of each day, the students will record their homework and reminders into their planners. It is important that they record the assignment and page number. We always write their homework in the day that it is due. Any incomplete assignments will also noted in their planner. We will be checking their planners on a daily baisis. As well, we encourage you to check and sign planners.
Homework
Our homework policy is as follows. It is expected that all homework is completed and handed in on time. Any incomplete assignments will be noted in the student's planner. They will then be given time to complete their work during "Homework Club" at lunch time.
If the students need help with an assignment, they are welcome to come in after 8 am in the morning or stay after school.
Spelling
Spelling words are written in their planners on Monday. Each day of the week, the students work on their spelling assignments. The spelling quiz will be on Friday.
Reading Logs:
Another goal in our Language Arts program is to help the students develop their independent reading. The students are expected to read for an averagea of an hour a week, either 4 days a week for 15 minutes each time or 3 days a week for 20 minutes. The students record their independant reading on the monthly calendar in their agenda. We are asking that you sign the log each month.
Absences:
When a student is absence, we will have their work gathered with a While You Were Away sheet. The sheet includes the assignments and due dates. We will then go over any of the missed assignments with the students.
Physical Education
This year our class is following the new ministry guidelines that encourage "Daily Physical Activity". We will have physical activity for 30 minutes every day. The activities help develop flexibility, endurance and core strength. We have our gym P.E. periods on Thursday and Friday. Students are expected to have runners on these days.
Library
Students have an opportunity to exchange their books every Wednesday.
