Things to bring on 12 April

We are doing Maths with this.

 P.S. We are still in the process of assessing oral reading and picture conversation. (We have only assessed half the class.) 

Fyi pl. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

For 8 April (Friday)

Dear Parents,

This is what the children will be told to do for the weekends. They will be getting their journals tomorrow to do their homework. Today they had computer class and I typed out their BC number for them  and give them in a slip of paper to log into the school system. Please help to get them to remember their own  BC number as soon as is possible so that they do not need to refer to the slips with the BC number.

Dear Parents,
Today we will be having another round of book sharing whereby the children will be going to different classmates to share their favourite stories with them as well as to convince them that it is a great book to read. By the way, we are still doing the reading assessments thus far and is only half way through. I can only do that during written work.

As for homework and things to bring, this is what has been typed for them today. Yesterday, they had their practice to copy down things to bring and homework.

For today:

6 April 2011

Homework (Due 8 April)

To complete all incomplete work in Maths Activity Book 1A Part ONE.

By now, all pupils should have already completed all exercises, except the last 2 journals at the back of the book. For those who have to do corrections or who have not completed all exercises, please take these 2 days to complete all. For those who have been dutifully following instructions and completed your work, you would have already earned an extra 20 points and you will just have to do your last 2 journals.

On Friday, please hand in your Maths Activity Book 1A Part ONE. You should have completed the exercises in the whole book by then. Pupils who have completed all the work properly ( in a neat and orderly manner) and have done all corrections necessary will be awarded another 20 points.

For English, please think and write down why you like the story book that you will bring on 7 April. Please note down the best part(s) of the story and the interesting characters in the story. You will be doing an advertisement during class time.

5 April 2011

Dear Parents,
Today's homework is just a one-page investigative worksheet, whereby pupils are to form a word less than 10 points and a word more than 10 points, with letters given associated with a designated number of points e.g. A - 2 points, E - 3 points, C - 2 points so ACE will be 7 points ( which can be the answer for the word less than 10 points).

Things to bring is just colour pencils and a green pen. As the children have not completed their book sharing, classwork for Maths took a longer time than expected, they are also to bring the same book and their A4 size paper as well for tomorrow.

Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Dear Parents,
We had a good trip today, although the weather was rather hot. The things brought back today are the things that your child has redeemed with the vouchers he or she has received based on the points that he or she has earned during these 2 weeks. Every 10 points - 1 voucher. This is to ensure that the numbers are more manageable and the children can then count (within numbers to 20) and know how to make a choice (which makes use of their number bonds and other maths strategies to get the best combination with the vouchers that they had received). We hope to motivate your child to work harder in his/her learning and to display a positive attitude in class.

1 April 2011
