Well, here we are at the start if the second week of school for your child. Everyone seems to be adjusting well, although I know we are all tired at the end of the day! Today we are starting the Jolly Phonics program. Your child will bring home a yellow duotang each day except Friday. The explanatory letter is in the bag with the duotang. It is essential that children practice the sounds we are learning on a daily basis to really learn the letter sounds. We are not stressing letter names this term, just the sounds that are the key to writing words.
Homework also is coming home today, and should be returned by Thursday, Friday at the latest.
Mrs. Turner's Grade Four class are our Reading Buddies this year, coming on Friday mornings for 1/2 hour.
We'll have our first fire drill tomorrow (Monday) at 10am. We are practicing going out quickly and quietly and lining up n the parking lot.
We'll have our first library day on Wednesday.
If you haven't sent in extra clothes for your child, please send in a set. If you can, I'd also appreciate it if you would put his/her name on the bag in marker. Thanks!
