Happy Thanksgiving!

Well, September has flown past and now we're into October - the month of turkeys and witches....
Kindergarten students are now bringing home "tricky and sight word" bags. Each week there will be two new words added. Please go over these words nightly, as they will help the children better understand some of the intracacies of the English language. Like I tell them - Practice makes perfect!!! This weeks words are a and is. New words that will come home next week are mom and dad.
I'm really pleased with how the children seem to be picking up the sounds we are learning. Keep practicing them each night, as well, please. They should also be practicing making the letters that go with each sound.
Kindergarten classes are going to the Nursing Home on October 30th - costumes included. More info to come on that later in the month.
As for my homeroom - book orders came home this week and are due back to me Tuesday, October 13th. We are also doing both Reading Club (Grades One and Two only until after Christmas) and You and Your World.
Our next K-2 assembly will be at 1:15 on Friday October 30th. You are welcome to attend and see the classes "perform" poems, songs, etc they have learned.
Other October events - weather permitting, there will be an evacuation drill on Wednesday, October 14th. The student body walks to the Anglican Church (K-5), and Central Wesleyan (6-12). Grades K-2 will dismiss from the stone church at the regular time, and Grades 3-12 will walk back to the school to complete their day. If the weather doesn't cooperate the date will be postponed.
