Week of April 15-19

Dear families,

We have been continuing our unit on caring for the Earth and are making booklets called "The Earth is..." We will also be making a collage of natural (vs. man-made) items. If you have copies of Canadian Geographic or National Geographic please send them in with your child. Thank you!

Thank you so much to Parent Council for their support and funding of our Artist in the Classroom (May 6) as well as the Scientist in the Classroom visit (Term 2).

This week LKS is supporting Seeds of Hope and is collecting pennies or loose change. On Friday LKS will be wearing black in support of Seeds of Hope.

The SpringFest Colouring Contest ends April 19! Hand in your wonderful art and have a chance for it to be a poster for SpringFest!

In Numeracy we are learning about measurement and are using flexible measuring tape to measure classroom items. In Literacy we are learning Earth words as well as the letter sound Ll. We are also using the Read, Write and Erase booklets to reinforce sight word recognition and writing.

Have a wonderful week!

Mrs. Tyndall
