Our First Day

Here are a few pictures from our first day.  I’m sure Mr Macmillan will be posting the photos he took on facebook.

Homework  I sent home a poem as well as a reading book with your child today.  Please don’t worry if your child is too tired to spend much time on homework, especially this first week.  Just reading the poem together is a great start.   At this stage, the main focus with reading is to point to each word as they read.

I also sent home some alphabet cards and word cards.  Just pick a few letters or words to learn to start with.  A good place to start is learning all the letters in their name.  I, am, is, are good words to learn to read.  Again, don’t stress if they are not ready for this yet.  10 – 15 minutes is a good amount of time to try to spend on homework.  I do understand that some days this won’t happen.

Golden Time  - on Friday we will be having a teddy bear’s picnic.  Just bring along a teddy and your usual packed lunch.  Hopefully we will have time for a little surprise too….
