 * Routines in Weka: **

Each day Weka spend time focusing on sight words that help our reading and spelling. Almost all students will be learning one of the following lists of words. Each Friday I test them on these words and show them their progress and success. This will mean that your child will be checked on one of the following:

Alphabet letters and sounds Yellow, Green or Orange sight words Spelling words.

If you are unsure which of these your child is expected to be learning please come and see me so I can show you what we do in this time in class.


 * Homework Expectations: **

All students bring home a reading book each night. On Monday and Wednesday this will be a book from their browsing box. On Tuesday and Thursday it will be the book they have been reading during their reading lesson with me. I am checking the children's yellow home reading book daily to look for comments and recheck their book choices from their browsing boxes. Please feel free to leave comments about your child's reading here for me to see.

Spelling words are learnt during school time during our Rainbow Words sessions. If you would like to also help your child at home please come and see me or send me an e-mail so I can give you a copy of their current words.


 * Current Topic: **

This term we will be doing music once a week, as a change from Te Reo. We are looking forward to showing you what we can do at the end of the term. We will also be looking at the people in our community later in the term.
