Happy 100th Day!

Happy 100th Day of school! The children have been looking forward to this day for a long time and had fun completing five activities (with the help of our parent volunteers - thank you!) related to 100th Day. `Zero the Zebra`came out to play three times because 100th Day also fell on February 10. The children also created a 100th Day booklet which went home this week.

A reminder that the next Scholastic Order is due on February 29th.

Please also send in your child`s permission forms for Skating at Lambton Arena on February 28 (Morning Class) and February 23 (Afternoon Class). Remember that helmets must be worn on the ice. Thank you! All parents who volunteered are welcome to help out with the laces etc. - the more the merrier!

There are a number of winter articles and shoes in our Lost and Found bag in the classroom`s cloak room. Please check it from time to time.

We have been hard at work practicing our `Popcorn Words` which are words that `pop up`frequently when reading. The accompanying song goes to the tune of `Mary had a little lamb`:

Like in to no am a that
can me yes
I of the
you me he is was go see and
it big my went

Please practice this song backwards and forwards with your child at home.

Please also be sure to attend the upcoming Kindergarten Literacy Information Night on February 22 at 6:30 p.m. in the Library.

Have a great weekend!
