Hello!
Children are naturally curious learners and there are opportunities at home to engage their learning. We have created a webpage that offers a variety of educational ideas to support literacy, numeracy and wellness at home for this week. The resources are meant as suggestions only. You may choose to use the links and activities as needed over the next few days as more long-term educational programming is considered.
As most of the students in our program are not at grade level, you may want to chose material that is based more on their ability level, rather than actual grade.

Happy Beginning of Fall Break!
The past few weeks have been busy in our classroom. Students have been working on place value for numbers up to 1000. They have also been learning to add two-digit numbers, with some regrouping.
In Literacy, students have been working on create complete sentences that start with a capital letter and end with punctuation. We will be learning about run-on sentences and when it is appropriate to use the word "and" in our writing.
Students have recently learned to cook scrambled eggs with added veggies and cheese. Hopefully your child can use their skills to make you breakfast in bed one day over the break!
During the week of October 21-25 your child will be participating in creating a performance with Trickster Theatre. They will perform on October 25 and parents/guardians are invited to come and watch. You child should have taken home an invitation the Thursday before break.
Here are some websites the students can check out over the break to sharpen their skills:
https://www.mathplayground.com/index_addition_subtraction.html
https://www.funbrain.com/books
Also, a reminder: please return the homework duotangs so we can fill them with some practice sheets.
Thanks and have a great break!

Welcome to Room 24!
Good morning and welcome to our class. We are very excited to work together this year. For the next few weeks our class will be focusing on building relationships, practicing routines, and learning self-regulation strategies. Please feel free to ask your child questions about these topics as I am sure they will have lots to talk about.
Our class will also be using Class Dojo as a point system. Parents will receive an invite where they are able to log in and see their child's points or anything that we may add to our class story.
I am looking forward to working together this year to make this the best year yet!
