Kia ora whanau and tamariki,
It has been a very exciting first week. We have already began our amazing learning journey and I am really enjoying getting to know each and every one of the akonga as their classroom teacher. To begin the week, the students completed exercises which began to grow their knowledge of each other and how they each learn. The students have spent a considerable amount of time towards understanding the routines of Room 5 and preparing for their learning. As a class we have already got to participate in discovery time, buddy time and have completed special fitness activities!
Within Room 5 homework will be sent home every week. The expectation is that this is completed at some point throughout the week and handed back in by Friday for marking. Until we have our stationary, this will be put with any reading material into the students Reading Folder. The tasks will include reading, learning an assortment of spelling words and completing one or two tasks around the learning for the week. I would be very grateful for your support around this area.
Finally, although it is only Week One we quickly have approaching two events which I would like to invite all whanau and caregivers to. Next week on Thursday the 9th of February we will be having a shared kai night, where you may bring some takeaways and eat them outside the class and then meet and talk with me and in week three, we will be having goal-setting meetings. These are short, fifteen minute meetings where we discuss the direction of your tamariki and where you would like to see them get to before the end of Term 2. More information regarding this will be coming home with tomorrows notices.
