countdown to MAY!

Three days at school this week - and then a few weeks of 5-days (at last!) at school.....

Letters Q and R are the targets this week, and the sight words are other, were, and because.

Thursday is a district Professional Development day for teachers, and we are off to Moncton for the annual province-wide Subject Council meetings on Friday.

Keep on working!

Another short week for GMCS, as Monday, April 20th, is a Curriculum Day for teachers, and we will all be going to St. Stephen to meet with our grade level counterparts in the district.

We are finding words that begin with the letter Oo and Pp this week. Our sight words are more, before, and of.

We have been practicing our emergency procedures in the past weeks - lockdown, fire drills, and evacuation (to come soon)- and will have some more practicing as the weeks go by.

Keep on working

On into April!

This week we are featuring the letter Nn. Each week we do a variety of activities relating to the letter we are studying. Please remember, if your child brings home the letter bucket, please help him/her to find a number of items that begin with that letter. Our sight words are any, many, and had.

We are beginning a new Reading Club this week in K-2, so look for your child's Reading Club duotang and bag, and help them with the activities you find inside.

on to Easter!

Another 4-day week! And after that a 4-day weekend! But this week will hopefully be a bit quieter than last week was. Thanks to those of you who came out to Parent/Teacher interviews. If any of you were unable to attend and would like to meet with me, please don't hesitate to contact me. The phone number in my classroom is 662-7083.

We are concentrating on the letter Mm this week. Sight words are who, which, and with.

This is our last week for You and Your World sessions and, beginning next Tuesday, April 15th, we will again be doing Reading Club activities.
