October post 8

Hello everyone

This is just a friendly reminder to please have your children take out their white TDSB bags and Snuggle Book bags and put them in the appropriate bin by the classroom entrance each morning. It would be easiest if the children had the bags and books removed from their backpacks while they are in line outside, ready to put in the appropriate bins when they enter the classroom.

On Tuesday’s book day almost all the children had done this, but today, Thursday, a lot of the white TDSB bags and Snuggle books were still in the backpacks and it is very time-consuming for me/my parent helpers to look in each backpack for missing items etc.

Thank you very much for your assistance with this important morning routine.

In a nutshell:

Wednesdays and Fridays upon entering the classroom – before entering the classroom, take white TDSB bag and Snuggle Book bag out of backpack, put in appropriate bin at entrance. C’est tout!

One more note – I have switched the SK Snuggle Book readers to an easier set. I recently discovered a treasure trove of leveled readers in our book storage room! Don’t worry if your child can’t read all the words, but if they can, you can ask comprehension questions as well. If your child is an advanced reader, encourage him/her to take books from the library that s/he can read to you at home. The more the better!

Thanks very much,

Beverley
