This week we are learning the following sounds - "oa" as in oak, "ie" as in pie, "ee", and "or". We will watch video #4 as well, and do lots of exercises to help children recall the sounds we are learning. Words added to the word wall are or and for.

We continue to learn about patterns in Math class, and are doing lots of fun things in that area.

Next Monday is Halloween, and Ms. Baker and I will be taking the Kindergarten class to the Grand Manan Nursing Home. Please send your child with his/her costume on that day. As well, that afternoon, we will be doing Halloween centres in the K-2 classrooms.

If there are any updates and/or changes, I will post a new entry to my blog.

Have a great week!

Well, we are now into our 7th week of school! Time is really flying by and it will soon be report card time!!

Sounds this week are "b", "ai", and "j". We will be watching the video covering the sounds we learned in the 3rd book of Jolly Phonics on Tuesday, so only three sounds this week. New words for the word wall are at and that, added to a, is, mom, and dad.

In Math we have been making patterns, starting with the AB pattern (two objects repeating themselves - ie red, green, red, green, red, green.......)

We are also talking about syllables and sentences in Language Arts. Keep practicing the sounds and actions - practice makes perfect!

There is no school for students on Friday, October 21st, as teachers will be away at meetings.
