Week of June 10-14

Dear families,

It's hard to believe it is June already...

In Science, we are continuing our unit on insects and learned where they live, what they eat, and how they grow. A special Thank You to Carson, our future entomologigist, for bringing in a beetle and catepillar from his garden. We have learned about Ants and Lady Bugs and will now learn about Bees.

We worked on our "My Seed" book with our Reading Buddies. Our bean seeds have not started to shoot yet but I will keep you posted and will send your child's little plant home when it sprouts.

In Literacy we have finished all the single letter sounds of the Jolly Phonics Program and are doing doing review. If your child's phonic duotang and/or journal goes home please encourage your child to work on them. It is good preparation for Grade One!

Thank you to everyone who supported Scholastic this year - our last Scholastic order was at the end of May. Scholastic helps support your child's classroom with resources such as books.

In Numeracy we learned about the quarter and this week we are learning about the loonie. The children are enjoying playing store and pizza restaurant and using play Canadian money and the cash register.

This week and next we will be continuing our money and insect units and will make our special Father's Day book.

Thank you for sending in the Pizza Lumch forms - they are due tomorrow, June 11.

Have a wonderful week!
