Studyladder

Only one subtraction task and three 6x tables tasks for this week.

We need more than 43 students completing all tasks to get our weekly reward.

Studyladder

Apologies to all for the break in routine. We will be looking at Studyladder results for Week 4 on Thursday and a reduced pod of set tasks will be set for this week (Week 5).

Studyladder

In Week 5 Studyladder will be checked and reset on Tuesday due to both Sharon and I being in planning and curriculum meetings on Monday. Spelling Test and LSCWC will remain on Tuesday as well.

We need the medical forms back ASAP please.

Regardless of whether or not the student is attending camp, we need your form back ASAP please. We are finalising the menu and confirming numbers, please assist this process by returning the medical forms and informing us of non-attendance.

Camp Updates

Please check the Camps page to find out about what you will be doing and what you will need to bring.

A Great Start

Another great week with so much achieved. The students have continued to amaze us with their commitment, initiative and great discussion input. Week 3 will see timetables settle in and a good chance for the class to develop our regular routines.

All students are working hard to increase the amount of books they read. Students who who are more reluctant readers will be given the opportunity to borrow small books to practice reading aloud. Other students have also expressed an interest to take some of these books home.

Please do not let any stress be caused by the Google conversation, blog wants and expectations or any buzz about online homework until we have had a chance to explain our online access for students and parents this year.

We are looking forward to seeing you on Tuesday at Acquaintance Night. If you are unable to attend we will address as much information as possible in a Hub post next week. Our class information is now also available via the link at the top of this blog.

Also be aware that Camp 2015 information will begin to be posted on the Camp page very soon.

Welcome to 2015

First Day Back and General Class Information #1

What a great day, all students have made a fantastic start and the signs are good for a very successful year ahead.
We would like to take this opportunity to welcome you as Room 9/10 parents for 2015.
Please take a few minutes each day to let your child tell you about Room 9/10 and how we work. There may be a few concerns about class expectations and procedures. This usually disappears after the first week.
All students have been given labelled equipment to use in the classroom. This equipment will stay in their tray and any other pencil cases they have can be kept at home for homework tasks.
We encourage students to have water bottles in the classroom. Raw fruit and vegetable snacks are also encouraged for brain break eating throughout the day.
Thanks to the parents who sent a box of tissues to school today. We would appreciate each family donating a box of tissues for class use.
We will cover Homework, Curriculum & Behaviour Management expectations and any other class information in the next letter.
This year most communication will be through the blog rather than using a diary. If you need to write to us please do so in the back of the Spelling Test book. Confidential notes will need to be in a sealed envelope.
We hope that all families will be able to access and participate in the class online Hub and be an active member of the Ardtornish Google Community. We have found this to be a very successful communication tool especially when parents can access the information via their phone.

Executive Committee

Thank you to all the students who have applied for the Executive Committee and those who were successful. Your work over the weekend will help decide the president for this year.

It is quite amazing that we are now looking at sharing over $4000. So exciting.

Thank you to all of you and your friends and families. Our charity marathon was a huge success with over $2000 raised.

Thank you again.
