 READING: students are reminded to bring a book to school to read, they are also invited to borrow books from our classroom library. DAILY reading at home is encouraged. The Toronto Public Library is a wonderful place to borrow and sign out books or ebooks. I have sent home a copy of a form to apply for a library card as we will be visiting them to sign out books and take part in events this school year.
