Happy Holidays

Dear families,

Thank you very much for your lovely cards and wonderful gifts. It is my pleasure and privilege to teach your wonderful children each day.

A special thank you to the Jakob's family for taking taking of Bubbles the Beta fish over the holidays, and thank you so much to the parents who made our holiday craft party such a success!

I hope you have a wonderful holiday!

Mrs. Tyndall

Week of December 16-19

Dear families,

Last week we continued with our holiday-themed activities and also worked/played at five centres: letter/letter sound bingo, magnet letter/number tracing, letter tracing, number bingo and a sight word game.

At this week's Sharing Assembly please bring a Santa or elf hat for your child. I hope to see you then!

With our Reading Buddies we practiced our Holiday words and made our mobiles. This week we sang holiday songs at the piano, did holiday addition and subtraction (SK), dot-to-dot alphabet (JK), did a fun word recognition game on the SmartBoard, and learned about the importance of being kind when we read The Kindness Quilt. We will be making a kindness quilt made of paper in the new year. Look for it on our hallway bulletin board!

On Tuesday it is Career day at LKS - dress for the career you'd like to have.

If you are volunteering for Thursday's Holiday craft party, thank you in advance for your help! I have lots of fun crafts ready to go. If you are doing white bags on Thursday, please come at the beginning of class since there will be a lot if things going home and the children will be putting their crafts in their bags as well.

I hope you have a wonderful week! Thank you for your continued support.

Mrs. Tyndall
