The Calgary Public Library Book Truck

Thank you to everyone who participated on the Book Truck and signed out a book at Copperfield School. We are aware that some of you may be receiving overdue notices. A representative from the Book Truck has reassured us that there will no fees incurred for books that were signed out from the truck. All Book Truck books from the December visit will be returned to the public library on Thursday January 31 with no fines. If your child still has their book, please send it to school so that it can be returned. Any Calgary Public Library books returned after January 31 will need to be returned directly to any Public Library location. Thank you again for bringing the love of reading into your home!

Sincerely,

Lisa Ly

Hello moms and dads!

We were having a blast during our first in-line skating. We had only a couple falls!

In math we are learning to skip count by 2s to 20, 5s and 10s to 100, and backwards from 20.

In science we are learning primary and secondary colors. Ask me what colors mix!
Also, we have been learning how animals prepare for winter: adaptation, migration, and hibernation.

In social we are learning about community.
Ask me what a community is and what communities I am part of.

We finished learning how to print all the letters of the alphabet correctly!

In word work we are learning to write 4 and 5 letter words ending with -ing.

In music we are learning about the different music notes.

In reading we are learning our animal reading strategies and comprehension strategies.

We have been learning lots and lots!

Love,

Room 138

Good evening parents!

I have sent home a reading log in your child's reading bag.
If you could fill one row out for each book every week that would be very helpful.
It also give me an idea with how you are finding their reading at home.
If you forgot to return home reading books please send them tomorrow.
In-line skating starts Monday. Please send your child with a helmet if they have one.

Thank you so much :)

Home Reading

Good afternoon!

Please remember every Thursday to send home reading books with your child.
I have switched to ziplock bags and will keep the black bags at school to send home only with forms.
Each ziplock has the child's name on it.
Please return the home reading books in the ziplock each week.

I have put a reading strategies bookmark in each bag.
We are slowly learning the animals and their different strategies.
If you could use these strategies at home with your child it will be extremely helpful.
I have also put the pre-primer sight word list in each bag.
If you could please try and work on this list every night!

Thank you!
Ms. Samphire

Sight Word Lists

Hello families!

I sent out an email the other day introducing myself!
If you could please reply to the email to let me know you received it.
I am attaching the three lists of sight words that we hope to know by the end of grade one.
I will send home the pre-primer list with home reading on Thursday.


If you have any questions please email me!

Thank you,
