THere's a busy week ahead for all - Thursday morning the Kindergarten classes are going to the Nursing Home. Remember to send costumes that day, please. On Friday afternoon the K-2 classes will be doing activities in classrooms, one activity in each of the four homerooms.

As well, don't forget the sounds to practice each night - this week we are doing "z", "w", "ng", and "v".

Extra! Extra! Read All About It!

From a VERY short week last week to the full five days this week -

There are lots of things happening in school with Halloween coming up and all that! There will be a K-2 assembly next Friday, the 31st, at 10:45. Parents, grandparents, etc. are always welcome to attend. That afternoon we will be doing Halloween activities in all of the K-2 homerooms. As well, the Kindergarten classes will be visiting the Nursing Home on Thursday next week (Oct 30th).

Please remember to send your child's tricky word bag each week when they return their homework duotang, so new words can be put in them. The new words for this week are: or and for. Please go over each word every night - it helps the children with their reading skills. These are meant to be sight words - words they don't have to sound out - that they just know by looking at them what they are.

Thank you for all the work you do at home with your child. It is an important part of their learning to connect what they do at school to what they are doing at home.

Have a good week!

summer is OVER!

Hello again -
Please remember to send warm clothes with your child for recess times. The playground is rarely without a cool, often nippy, wind. These mornings when there is a frost it might even be a good idea to send a pair of mitts and a hat. Maybe avoid that Fall cold!

This week in with your child's homework you will find a small ziploc bag with the words - a, is, mom and dad. Please practice these each night - there will be two more new words each week. Your children will be reading before you know it! As well, please remember to go over ALL of the sounds in the yellow duotang each night. Thanks!
