Hello Grade 1 Parents - Note from Ms. Cherevaty April 4th, 2016

Hello Grade One Parents,

As you already know, my name is Mrs. Cherevaty, but Mrs. C works for me too! I am excited to be back at Rosethorn, and I am looking forward to getting to know your children better in the next few weeks. I was lucky to have had regular correspondence with Ms. G throughout the school year, as well as the chance to sit down with her last Tuesday to discuss the students, curriculum and next steps. I know it is not always easy to have two teachers within one school year, but I will try my best to make it a positive transition for all. I look forward to meeting all the classroom parents informally over the next few weeks. 

An April Calendar went home with your children last week. One new item to note on the calendar is that we will be joining Mme. Suichies group on a class trip to Willowgrove Farm. It will take place on Friday, April 29th. A permission form will be going home shortly and parent volunteers will be welcomed/needed. 

Also, we will be working on different forms of writing over the next few months. In the next few weeks students will be creating pet rocks, and then they will be writing procedures on how they made them. Students are being asked to bring in a rock (roughly the size of their fist) by Friday, April 8th.

 

I am currently working on creating new reading groups that will work with my reading program. I am asking students (parents) to keep their Snuggle Up and Read bag at home until next Monday (April 11th). Starting next Monday, students will be able to independently choose books from the reading centre to take home each night (I have a collection new of books that I will be putting out this week). However, on the days that your child reads with me in a group they will take home a levelled book. Students will be encouraged to return their borrowed book to school the next day. If the book is not returned no new books can go home. 

Here's to a wonderful end to an already wonderful school year!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Nadine Cherevaty
