Why is reading important?

Here is a great documentary we will be watching today in class. You could watch the rest of this series at home with your family! Make sure you talk about the difficult words she uses and some of the ideas this raises - are you reading every night at home?

Please return this form by this Friday (with money if required). Thanks!

S.D.L. Online!

This term we will be using some online docs to organise our SDL tasks (our must dos!). Below is a screenshot of what it looks like and you can find it on the 'our files' page above.



It is 'view only' for everyone with a paper copy attached to our wall in class. You can star each task as you work through the week on our paper copy. The PA will be in charge of updating your 'stars' on the doc and we can see each others progress throughout the week.

(If you are BYOD I will share the doc with you so you can view it in your google drive)

These task should be completed before Friday or they are a homework task over the weekend. I can email your parents to ask them to help you and I will check your tasks on Monday. You can work on these at home and even before school if you'd like.

When you have finished I will have some 'Can dos' listed at the bottom of the doc.

What do you think? Is there anything you can suggest that will help us be more independent? Anything we could change or add?
