****Home Reading****
-Please send back clear home reading book bags every Tuesday and Thursday, first thing in the morning in order to get your new
books! Our lunch room volunteers change the books first thing in the morning.
We have been busy creating with our fall leaves. We read the story
“Leafman” by Lois Elhert. (see the link)
After a discussion of all the wonderful characters we used our
imagination to create our very own leaf character and then described our
character in writing.
We Need Volunteers:
Calgary
Reads Volunteer Training
Royal Oak School is in
need of more volunteers for our Calgary Reads programs. Please see the
information below about how to volunteer.
Wee
Reads
Wee Read is about
reading aloud and sharing the joy of reading with Kindergarten and Grade 1
students. Reading volunteers would need to commit to 30 minutes per week for 8
weeks. In this 30 minutes, volunteers will have the opportunity to work with
two students either in Kindergarten or Grade 1.
If you are interested
in volunteering for this program, a valid police clearance through the CBE is
required. Interested volunteers are asked to please attend a Wee Reads training
session on Wednesday October 18th from 2:30 -
3:50pm. The training sessions will be offered at Royal Oak
School. If you are interested in attending, please contact Sarah Power at sapower@cbe.ab.ca and RSVP by Monday evening, October 16th.
Read
Up
The Read Up program
helps struggling readers in grades one and two strengthen their reading skills
at a critical time in their cognitive development. Volunteers receive advanced
training and commit to two 45-minute sessions each week for a total of about 40
sessions. Volunteers must have previously worked as a Wee Read volunteer or
have an Education background. Please contact Sarah Power sapower@cbe.ab.ca if you are interested in enrolling
in Read Up training with Calgary Reads. The training is approximately 4 hours
at the Calgary Reads office.
