October post 2

Hello everyone,

A letter will be going home tomorrow regarding the wonderful “art card” program offered by LKS and many other schools and I wanted to send you the URL as well. Thank you Vicky and Anouchka for your help in organizing our volunteers, and thank you volunteers! It means so much to the children when their parents are in the classroom to see them at work and play!

Our date for the Art Cards is October 13th, from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. when the children don’t have other morning activities (such as IT or Library). I will prepare samples for each of the children’s tables to assist our volunteers.

The children are working hard on their Number Books and Letter Books and when they are complete I will be sending them home. We are also working on writing our names and I am already seeing some progress! Please continue to read with your children and encourage them to write their names on the crafts/artwork they do at home. Capital letters are easiest at first for little ones. Lower case letters are learned/recognized in tandem but primarily after upper case letters. If your child is an advanced reader (and some of the class’ children are) please continue to challenge your children with new readers. Mastermind (everyone’s favourite store!) has an excellent selection of supplementary workbooks and readers. Tomorrow, Thursday, is Mystery Bag Day and Snuggle Book Day (for bigger-sized books). Please return them by Friday (Monday at the latest).

Thank you everyone for providing healthy snacks and for remembering to return your child’s library books. Next week Library will be on Thursday, so today’s books are due by that day.

Tomorrow we are doing a Thanksgiving Craft which is a name card for your child to have at the dinner table.

Wishing everyone a wonderful and restful Thanksgiving weekend,

Beverley
