Week 9 Notes

Homework
It was great to see 100% of students completed last weeks homework task - I'm sure the bribery had nothing to do with it.  I have enjoyed reading all the parent comments about the blog too and I'm glad that you all enjoy it!

Homework for the rest if this term will consist of:
- reading - at least 10 minutes every night
- spelling - every night
- Word Problem Wednesday - due Thursday for marking
- Talk Homework for writing - Tuesday night
- extra - Studyladder and Lexile Pro quizzes

Lexile Pro
So far two students have received Lexile certificates at assemblies. I told students that I wanted at least 4 of them to receive certificates at the next assembly. Good news is that we are on track for this!! There are a few who are not far off. Please encourage your child to complete their reading and quizzes at home. They must achieve a mark of 7/10 to pass the quiz. To do this they have to have read the book and understand it, complete the quiz as soon as finishing the book and have the book with them during the quiz to refer to.

Test Books
After repeated reminders I am still waiting for several Test Books to be returned to school. Please check that your child has returned theirs and if not, have them put it in their bag today. They will be going home at the end of Week 9 and need to be returned by the end of Week 10.

Absences 
Room 17 currently has no unexplained absences!!  Yay!!

If your child is absent for any reason there are several ways you can report this.
1. Use the Wattle Grove Primary School app that can now be downloaded.
2. Call the school office on the day of the absence.
3. Send in a signed note, or note in their school diary, on the day they return to school.
4. If you are at the school, you can tell me in person.
5. Email me at Julia.Calvert@education.wa.edu.au

Doing one of the above saves me from having to chase these up so I appreciate your co-operation.
