Shipping to the classroom is back! Just order online from the digi-flyer, enter the class code, and items can be shipped to the school instead of having to have a minimum $40 order to ship to home like before. Of course that is still an option too if you prefer.
In a previous post, I wrote about how our Battle of the Books teams participated in the Round Robin tournament at the Halton Hills Public Library. On Thursday night the top two teams battled it out in the final Grand Battle! Our junior and senior teams both finished in second place overall for all the schools that participated in Halton Hills. I am proud of these students for their hard work! We had fun competing and working as a team. Go, Moose!!

GROWING READERS TIP- OPEN AND CLOSED

There are two types of questions we can ask.  They are open and closed questions. Closed questions generally have only one right answer and are a short one word response.  For example- “Is an apple a fruit?”  Open questions/prompts encourage kids to talk and generally have lengthier responses.  For example- “Describe an apple.”

Try open type questions when asking your child about their day or a question about a story they are enjoying.  You will get your child thinking and talking.

Take away- Open questions encourage my child to think and talk.
