Hello Parents

This week we continued with our numbers and Phonics books, and have completed the second set of phonics: C/K, E, H, R, M, and D. Please review the gestures and sounds of these letters at home (a sheet was included in this week's white TDSB bag). The children also started making books called "Teddy is Ready" with their Reading Buddies. The 100th Day of School is fast approaching and we will be doing many fun activities that day. An information sheet regarding this special day will go home next week.

I have booked the Lambton Skating Rink and will send home an information sheet regarding this fun event as well. The morning class is booked on February 28 from 9:15-10:15 a.m., and the afternoon class is booked on February 25 from 12:45-1:45 p.m. Parent volunteers are welcome and your assistance in tying laces would be great. I will make a big pot of hot chocolate for after the party. Please remember that the children are required to wear CSA-approved hockey helmets.

I have completed the Snack and Mystery Bag schedule until the end of the year and will send it to you via email. I will send home a paper copy in you child's Friday white TDSB. Please remind your children to return the bag as well as the green Library bag.

The Junior Kindergarten students will be receiving a Summary Report on Monday, February 14. The Senior Kindergarten students will not be receiving a report this term. Friday, February 18 is a PA Day for Parent-Teacher interviews. I will be requesting interviews to address the progress and needs of specific students. All students will receive a report card in June.

Have a wonderful week - more updates to follow soon!

Mrs. Tyndall
