Dear families,
The children are all very excited about seeing "Seussical" on Monday (a.m. class) and Tuesday (p.m. class). Afternoon Parents please remember to arrive early on Tuesday at 11:45 a.m.
We have been learning about measurement and watched Peep measure his pond then measured our own (plastic) turtles. We also are learning our Anchor Words -- please practice these high-frequency words with your child at home. We completed 4 different art plates, matching our four seasons and talked about what happens in the winter (birds fly south, animals hibernate, etc.)
The children did a lovely job performing their two poems "Little Poppy" and "Down, Down" at the Sharing Assembly. Congratulations to Nathalie, Lola, Kasen, Myles, and Cameron B. who received certificates for Empathy/Being a Good Friend.
The SKs have started Set Two of their phonics duotangs. Great Job! We are now learning the sounds C/K, E, H, M, R and D.
Last week the afternoon class had a surprise visit from Cinderella! Wow! Thank you so much to LKS mom Carrie!
Thank you to my parent volunteers of the last two weeks:
Reading Club: Charlie's mom, Ava's mom, Lewis' mom
Mystery Reader: Samantha's dad, Anna's mom, Ava's Dad
White bags/Snuggle Books: Ava's mom, Sam's mom, Lewis' mom, Luke's mom
We are starting to learn our songs for the Holiday Concert which will take place on Tuesday, December 13 at 6 p.m. in the gym. The children should wear Santa/elf hats if possible, white tops, and black bottoms.
It was a pleasure speaking with all of you last week about your child's progress. During the interviews we also spoke about a handy reference book to have at home -- the "First Dictionary." The one we use at school is published by Harcourt Brace Canada: ISDN 0774714492
Have a wonderful weekend.
