September Newsletter
Welcome back Grade 1/2‘s!
Dear students, parents, and guardians,
Welcome back to the 2019-2020 school year! I am so excited to be your child’s teacher this year
and watch them grow spiritually, emotionally and academically. In September, we are learning how
to be a classroom community/family. The learning skills we are focusing on right now are
organization and independent work.

In September, we will be reading a number of books that allow the children to make connections
(text-to-self, text-to-text, text-to-world and text-to-media). In Mathematics, we will be focusing
on number relationships (writing numbers, counting cubes, single-digit addition and subtraction),
before moving onto patterning.

Our Board’s Spiritual Theme this year is “Love Kindness and Mercy” Micah 6:8. As a class and
school community, we will be exploring the Gospel Values to make connections with our everyday
lives.

We will be using technology (iPads and chromebooks) throughout the year to enhance your child’s
learning. Two educational websites that we will be using often are Zorbits for Mathematics and
Raz-Kids (https://www.raz-kids.com/) for Literacy. I will be sending your child's passwords home
in the near future so they can practice at home too! I also have a twitter account where I will post
our learning, reminders and exciting events throughout the day/evening. Please follow me

St. Michael's will hopefully receive the agendas soon for the school. Once I do send them home,
please check and sign your child’s agenda every night. I will also be sending a homework folder
home at the end of September/beginning of October. This folder will stay at home. You and your
child can make a schedule to complete activities that work for your family. If you have any
questions after I hand it out please let me know!
