WEEK 31

Week 31 sees us saying goodbye to April and welcoming MAY!! YAY!! Looking forward to things greening up and warming up!

This week we are talking about Qq and Rr. Words for the Word Wall are because, were, has, and other.

I have been testing reading levels and am pleased with everyone's progress. We are also doing a lot of writing. The children are all using all of their sounding out strategies to make words. I ensure them that it's all right that they aren't spelling each word correctly, as long as the sounds are there. Grade One and up are for learning the ins and outs of spelling - and there are lots of exceptions to the rules, for sure!

This week there is no school on Friday, as most teachers in the province will be heading to Moncton for meetings.

The May calendar comes home on Wednesday, as Thursday is  May 1st.  Please have a look at it, as there are a number of activities going on in May.  First off, there is no school Friday, May 2nd, or Monday, May 5th.  Look for more info on our Ice Cream Social/Family Fun Night on the 14th!
