A Message from Maurita

Dear Shine

We seem to be bombarding you with messages at the moment. Sorry about that.

This message is for Learning Partners who work with Grade 2's or very
weak Grade 3's. I gave another workshop this past Wednesday. Some of
the volunteers asked for a copy of the assessments on phonological
awareness. If you look at them, and even better, use them, you will get
an idea of how to develop phonological awareness and indeed, how your
little partners is doing.

These assessments can then be added to their file thus building up a
profile on them. You will need to have Adobe in order to access them.
If you want a hard copy, they will be filed with all our readinga-z
books by the end of next week and you can make copies from there. Ask
Ginette.

On the subject of assessment of our Grade 2's, please won't you get your
learner's Individual Education Plan (IEP) from Ginette. It's in the
Grade 2 folder. Read through what we set out to do and see if you can
comment on each area by the 15th of June. Kath or I can help you with
it if you have a query.

If anyone has hanging files/folders that they no longer need we would be
greatful. Just one costs R5 and we will need at least 64. I recall
someone saying they had loads that they didn't use any longer but I
can't remember who that was.

I have ordered our books for the Grade 2 readers which we should get
very soon. Thanks again to the Table Bay Hotel for funding this.

I am also handing in our readinga-z mastercopies in to Custom Graphics.
They have kindly offered to do make lots of copies of these booklets for
us as long as we provide toner and paper. Still a huge saving. So if
anyone has our mastercopies, can we have them back by Wednsday. We
would still encourage you to make your own copies for your child. as
Kath, Eileen,Jenny and I have about 30 children between us to cater
for. Ideally we want all chidren to own these books but it will take a
while to get there.

Have a great weekend.

Regards
Maurita
