It's important that parents/caregivers sign off on their child's home reader to receive a new book. Books will be changed four times a week. No books will go home on the weekend. KIT Folders will remain at school over the weekend.
This week we begin our first library, music and PE lessons. We will also join together to celebrate the beginning of a new year on Wednesday morning with Mass in Siena Hall (all are welcome). Homework will begin next week.

The excitement begins this week as the Grade 1s become much more independent as they move up in the school.
On the first day, please walk your child to our classroom with their booklist items from 8:15am (please bring ALL school supplies on the first day). Place their booklist items INSIDE your child's tidy tray. Students can then unpack their own drink bottles and put their bags on the bag rack outside (Prep side) our classroom and start their colouring in. When the bell goes, parents are required to leave. If your child is settled beforehand, say a quick goodbye and leave promptly. Please ensure that morning goodbyes are kept short and sweet to enable your child to transition into a successful day. If they are upset for any reason, I will ensure your child is fully supported as they become comfortable with their new peers and surroundings. Don't forget to remind them of who will be picking them up in the afternoon and where.
From the second day onward, students will be required to line-up behind the 1N marking on the ground in the Undercover Area. Please make sure you have said your goodbyes before they are seated. After a whole school prayer, we will be sent to classrooms in our lines.
PARENTS/GUARDIANS ARE NOT PERMITTED TO WALK THEIR CHILD TO THE CLASSROOM UNLESS THEY SIGN IN AT THE OFFICE FIRST.
If your child is experiencing difficulties saying goodbye, either myself or an administration representative will walk them to the classroom and settle them. This is an important transitional strategy so that your child does not expect you to walk them to the room each day. Additionally, I believe that it is vitally important for Grade 1 children to carry their own bags and belongings to the classroom so that they learn the valuable skill of independence.
The children will also be unpacking their own bags each morning and continuing to pack their bags each afternoon to ensure the skill of independence is being practiced.

It is incredibly important for your child to read every single day. Reading every day helps your child develop their language skills, imagination, creativity and emotions. It enhances concentration, provides entertainment and most importantly it sets your child up to succeed in life. Students will have their books changed on a (TBC). We have amazing helpers that spend a large portion of their time in our classroom switching books over for your child to read. They note whether your child has read the previous nights or not. Sometimes your child will receive a book they aren't very interested in or a book that is slightly too easy for them, that's okay! Use this as a teaching opportunity to let them know that in life we have to read things we don't always enjoy reading (like bills!), but we still have to read them. A book that is too easy for a child is great for developing fluency, something a lot of children need to work on. You can help build fluency by having your child read the book in the afternoon and then again in the morning (or on the way to school). If you'd like your child to have the book for a second night so they can get more out of it, or practise their fluency, leave the book in the KIT Folder and write a note in the 'comments' section stating that you'd like the book again.
To put it into perspective:
Student A reads 20 minutes per day = 1,800,000 words per year.
Student B reads 5 minutes per day = 282,000 words per year.
Student C reads 1 minute per day = 8,000 words per year.
So how can you help your child become a better reader?
The following document is full of tips you can use at home if you're unsure how to best support your reader at home. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please let me know!

I can't believe this year has come to an end already! It feels like yesterday when the new One Navy students came into their new classroom for the first time! They have all flourished a tremendous amount and I am so proud of each and every one of them! I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to parents and grandparents for their continued support over the year. All your help with homework, reading, sight words, swimming, etc is greatly appreciated!
Thanks again for everything!
