Dear parents,

It has been a joy and an honour to teach your children during the July 2021 session of the ANEE Wonders Program.

I truly hope your children enjoyed and academically benefited from their time with me, in our online classrooms. 

It would be a true pleasure to be their teacher in our August 2021 session of the ANEE Wonders Program. 

If I do not have the opportunity to teach them in August 2021, I wish them much academic success and happiness, for the start of the new school year in September 2021.

To all of you, and your family and friends, please keep well, stay safe and healthy, and my best regards are with you always.

Sincerely,

Mr. Grande.

p.s.: in class today, we had our Week 4 Test and I will message you your child's individual results over this upcoming weekend. 

p.s.s.: your children have not been assigned any further homework for the July 2021 ANEE Wonders Program. Have a wonderful Civic Holiday weekend!

Dear parents,

We completed Lesson 14, Task 2 in class today.

For homework, to the best of their ability, can your children please complete the following Lesson 14, Task 1, activities:

1) Read Only - p.1-14

2) Complete - Respond to Reading - p.15

3) 'My Wonder's Dictionary' - two word entries.

Thank you and have a very good evening.

Mr. Grande.

Dear parents,

We completed Lesson 13, Task 1 in class today.

For homework, to the best of their ability, can your children please complete the following Lesson 13, Task 2, activities:

1) Read Only - p.60-67.

2) Complete - 'Cause and Effect: p.69' and 'Context Clues: p.71'.

3) 'My Wonder's Dictionary' - two word entry.

Thank you and have a very good evening.

Mr. Grande.

Dear G2 Parents,

For homework, can you please ensure that your children independently complete the following:

1) Lesson 12 Weekly Test

Please submit this test prior to Monday's class.

Also, please remind your child to write their Question 21 answer, using the Hamburger Paragraph Writing strategy we learned in class. 

Thank you so very much.

p.s.: if you wish your children to complete more homework then I have assigned, please do so and submit. I will review all homework submitted. This past week's tasks are from lessons 8-11.

Important - please remember to only have your children complete extra homework that they have literary knowledge about and which they can successfully and accurately apply to their work.

If they do work that is unfamiliar to them, it will only confuse the concepts they are learning, creating learning gaps and poor knowledge acquisition and therefore negative scaffolding scenarios occur which impact future concept learning. To unlearn poor knowledge acquisition is very difficult to do.

Thank you for your understanding.

Have a wonderful weekend to you all.

Mr. Grande.

Dear G2 Parents,

Please continue to encourage your children to participate in class and to take risks with the curriculum. When they do so, the potential for what level of learning they can achieve, is limitless. Thank you for the wonderful support, you provide your children, in their learning. 

We successfully covered many components of Grammar in today's Lesson 11, Task 2, activities.

For Homework (Lesson 11, Task 1), please have your children complete and submit, the following:

1) Read, 'Earthquakes'.

2) Complete, 'Respond to Reading' - p.59.

3) Add a minimum of one unfamiliar Word to their, 'My Wonder's Dictionary'.

Thank you once again.

Mr. Grande.

Dear Parents,

Please find attached charts which your children will need to place in their notebooks. Thank you.

Today, in class, we covered Lesson 10, Task 2 (Grammar). 

For homework, your children are to do Lesson 10, Task 1. They are to do the following:

Have a good evening to you all. 

Mr. Grande.

Your children worked very hard today. They were focused and engaged throughout most of today's lesson and they were motivated to learn the curriculum in detail. Well done to them all.

There are four entries they need to make per word:

1) the Word;

2) the Dictionary meaning [dictionary.com - can be used];

3) a Synonym for the word [synonym.com - can be used]; 

4) Find the Word in the Text - write out the sentence the Word appears in, from the story. Thank you.

Today's Homework is to READ Lesson 9, Task 2, and complete the following questions:

1) p.55 - Compare & Contrast - 'Your Turn'.

2) p.57 - Multiple-Meaning Words - 'Your Turn'.

​Dear Parents,

Your children worked very hard today. They were focused and engaged throughout today's lesson and they were motivated to learn the curriculum in detail. Well done to them all.

Today, we covered the Writing portion of our Weekly Tests and success strategies. FYI - we covered success strategies for the Multiple Choice portion of our Weekly Tests, last Thursday. 

Weekly Tests will be done after our last lesson of the week on Thursdays. They are to independently complete the Weekly Tests and then submit them to ANEE for my Evaluation. Parents, please do not assist your children in completing their Weekly tests. If they require assistance with submitting their Weekly Tests, please do so. Thank you very much.

For their Writing portion, your children learned the Hamburger method of Paragraph Writing (see below).

The Expectation is that your child's written work is neat (well-formed letters, etc), with correct use of uppercase/lowercase letters, punctuation, sentence structure, etc. – literary components which we are learning in our lessons and they must be applied to their work. Thank you.

For today’s Homework, they are to READ ONLY - Lesson #5 - Task #2. We will cover Task #2 Questions, in class tomorrow. Thank you once again.

Have a wonderful day to you all. Mr. Grande.

Dear Parents.

Once again your children participated well in today's lesson. For homework, at a minimum, and before tomorrow's lesson, please have your child do the following:

Lesson 3 - Task 2: p.3 to p.5 pt.A.

Thank you.

Have a good evening to you all.

Mr. Grande.

Dear Parents,

Your children had another successful lesson today. We covered many of the components for Reading Strategies and Grammar Rules. 

If you and your child are able to complete the following homework before tomorrow's class, it would be very much appreciated and important for my lesson planning for your child's learning gaps. Thank you.

Homework:

Reading - Task 1

- Read: p.17-19

- Answer: Connect Questions - p.19

Grammar - Task 2

-  Complete: p.2-3 and p.5

Have a wonderful evening to you all.

Mr. Grande.

Dear Parents,

It was very nice to meet and teach your child today.

For today's lesson, we covered the following:

1) Online Classroom Rules and Expectations

2) In Class Activities - Task 1 and/or Task 2

3) Assigned Homework Expectations

No Homework was assigned today however starting tomorrow, for our Lesson 2, I will be assigning Homework.

Homework completion is important for my Lesson Planning. It is a Diagnostic Tool to help reveal Learning Gaps your child may have which I can plan for and then address in class.

A) Homework is to be completed to the best of your child's ability.

B) If your child doesn't have time to complete the Homework, please Submit the Homework as is, with that reason of, 'No Time to Complete', noted on the Homework sheet. This will guide my Lesson Planning for your child.

C) If your child is unsure of anything given for Homework, leave it Blank OR help your child with the respective challenging activity and note that you assisted your child, onto the Homework sheet. This will guide my Lesson Planning for your child.

If you have any questions, you can message me through the ANEE website or contact ANEE and they can pass on your message to me.

Thank you very much for choosing ANEE. Your child's academic success is my/our focus.

Have a very good evening to you all.

Best regards,

Mr. D. Grande.
