WEEK 36

The last week of homework for the Kindergarten year!!!!  Yay!!!

This week we will be talking about letters:

                                            Yy   and    Zz

The last four words for the word wall are:   made, their, goes, and does.

I will be away on Tuesday, May 28th, and Mrs. Andrea Morse will be in for me. 

On Wednesday, May 29th, we will walk to see the alpacas down the road, right after O Canada at 9am.  I hope the rain will be over by then.  If not, we will go the following Tuesday, June 4th, instead.

This Friday, May 31st, will be our Spring Carnival Day - with the movie "Hotel Transylvania" in the morning, and fun on the inflatables in the afternoon.  All permission slips and food "orders" are in and we're all ready to enjoy.  There are "dress-up" fun days as well, beginning with Friday the 31st with "Beach Day", where children (and some adults) will dress for the beach.  THERE WILL BE NO CAFETERIA ON THIS DAY.  IF YOUR CHILD IS NOT ORDERING A HOT DOG AND DRINK THEY MUST BRING THEIR OWN LUNCH.

I will be doing testing for report cards during the next few weeks, so your child's attendance is important.  Thanks for encouraging them to attend, even if they are getting weary.

WEEK 32 and WEEK 33

I just realized I hadn't done my blog for this week - my apologies! The May calendar has come home today - not too many more weeks left!

The weeks are winding down and we have to double up on the letters to get them all in - I was supposed to start last week so, consequently, we will do three letters this week: Pp, Qq, and Rr.  New words for this week are other, were, and because.

This week is a four-day week, as teachers are having the annual Subject Council Day on Friday, May 3rd. 

Next week we will be doing Ss and Tt.  New words for next week are want, saw, and put. 

Next week will be another 4-day week as teachers will have a union meeting on Monday morning, May 6th, and meetings in the afternoon.

WEEK 30

We have a short week this week, with Friday off for students, as teachers will have meetings.

Our letter this week is "Nn".  Words for the word wall are any, many, and had.

Keep up the great work in reading!  Many students now have received books for reading 25, 50, 75, 100, and MORE books!  This reading helps students improve their skills and build a love for reading.

Tuesday morning we (K-5 students and staff) will have the pleasure of watching the Elementary Drama perform their production, "Cinderella".  The public performance is Monday night, April 15th, at 6:30pm.  The troupe will travel on Wednesday to perform in the Drama Festival in Saint John.  Good luck to them all!  And a big thank you to Mrs. Jones and Ms. Toole for their direction and time spent with our students.
