Reading to Mrs Young's mother
We waited until our gingerbread men were finished baking and read to Mrs Winquist. Then we showed her our gumboots dance. She loved it.

Please remember to put your child's morning tea and lunch in a named plastic bag as the 4 adults have to carry 6 lunches each and the bulky plastic containers can make it akward for us to manage.
The water bottles must be named too thanks.

Great way to learn spelling
Dear Parents and Children
If you go to the spelling city site http://www.spellingcity.com/9room9/
you will see Ingrid Young. Click on the name and a number of spelling lists will come up.
Next find the spelling list that your child is currently on.
Get your child to login as a pupil and remember to keep the login details.
Record in these inside the front cover of their reading log book.
Now they are all set for a great spelling experience.
First there is the pre-test. Then there a variety of games to play, utilising those very words.
Its a lot of fun to go on e.g. Hangmouse!
I will show them on the IWB tomorrow if you are having trouble they should be able to help you.
Its an easy and fun way to learn spelling and they will use the login details at school when we do a rotation of reading, writing and spelling games each week.
Have fun

Spelling
All of the children have a list of 10 words to learn this week from List 1 . They are pasted in their reading books. Please look at the highlighted words which show the words that are tricky (exceptions to phonetic rules).
Ask your child to spell the first 10 words - verbally or written - and then there should only be a couple of words that are challenging - and that means they will only have around 4 words to learn at the most each week.
The whole system is designed for children to feel successful when they achieve full marks.The aim is to be able to spell 100 words by the end of the 10th list. Tests are held on Fridays and next week I will introduce all of them to Spelling City to the lists of words that I have on the Internet. It is a way to play games using the very words they have to learn that week.
Two children have already passed this first level and are currently operating in their spelling exercise books which they have in their bookbag. They also have 10 words to learn. They will work on the exercise on Wednesdays in class and complete the work by Friday.
Each child will make a graph to plot their progress of (hopefully) full marks throughout the 100 words. Unless they have a sequential memory problem most children should achieve full marks if they revise these words from Monday to Friday. I have found this exercise to be beneficial to both reading and writng. We like to celebrate success in Room 9!

Below you will see a sample of the art which we did today.
In Room 9 the topic is identity. Could you please help your child to either cut out pictures that relate to their identity or to bring in paper copies of smallish photos to paste into their topic books - 4 or 5.
It may be about their ethnic origins, e.g. clothes/foods, countries of origin, what they do for fun as a family e.g. cycle together or go for walks, picnics, beach trips etc. Possibly a photo of a favourite sport/toy/stuffed animal.
Thank you
Ingrid Young

Day 1 Term 1 in Room 9 3 February 2011
Welcome to our Room 9 blog. We are learning to (WALT) write and our goal is to learn to type on the computer and add photographs. Mrs Young will teach us how to do this - she is learning about how to create a blog thanks to her clever teacher friend Anne Kennealy. On Fridays she will post photographs and information for parents.
Parents - please join us for prayers if you have the time and then when we leave to start our fitness break, please leave quickly. Help your child to become independent by saying goodbye once and walking away. This reduces tears and makes it easier for your child to adjust to class routines. (Don't let them see if you are feeling emotional - they will be confident if you are).
During the first 2 weeks the children and I will need to get used to each other and then I will post a list up on the door for parents who would like to stay on to work with a group during writing time. We have a wonderful teacher aide named Cindy who will work with different groups to free me up to work with all the children.
