Dear families,
Wow it's hard to believe it's mid May with today's hail! Hopefully this cold snap bodes well for the Leafs game tonight!
At this month's Sharing Assembly on May 28 we will be recognizing Caroline, Sienna, Raine, and Logan for demonstrating the TDSB Character trait of Integrity. Well done!
On Thursday we had a "mystery reader" visit from two former students who are now in Grade Two. Thank you Jamie and Alexandra! On Friday the children listened to a Storyteller in the Library and enjoyed participating in her presentation.
We have concluded our unit on 2- and 3D Shapes and the children finished their Shape Art with their Reading Buddies as well as their booklet, "In the Park." We also planted our bean seeds and are learning about germination, what plants need to grow, made a flower glyph, and the children watched how florist beads absorbed about 30 times their weight in water. We placed 10 of these special "magic water beads" in our little peat pots to help keep the soil moist over the weekend.
Thank you to the parents who helped with our Artist in the Classroom day and for your time with Reading Club and Mystery Reader and White Bags this week. Your help is always appreciated!
LKS is continuing to collect gently used children's books this week for less fortunate schools. Please bring the books to our classroom and they will be collected at the end of the week.
This week we will have fun learning about and reviewing Canadian Coins and their Values and our Pizza Store will open in the Drama Centre as well as a portable store and other currency and counting activities in our Science Centre.
Happy Mother's Day!
Mrs. Tyndall
