Going forward we would like to have you help us by uploading your child's work to IRIS.  Each week we would like your help to upload at least one math activity, one literacy activity and one challenge activity to Iris that your child has completed.  IRIS will allow us as teachers to respond to the work your child is completing at home in a much more efficient manner.  If you would like to upload more than 1 activity for each math, literacy and challenge each week please go ahead.  We are happy to look at all the photos but in the interest of time will only be responding to 1 of each activity each week.
