WEEK 19

Another full week - yay!! This weeks letter is Dd. Trickky words are no, go, yes, and see. This week, along with their book to read, your child will be bringing a Word Box Bag, with words to practice reading. Please send them back after reading, and another will come along. Thanks. I will be away on tuesday this week, and Mrs. Andrea Morse will be in for me.

WEEK 18

Another full week of school! Our Kindergarten students will join the rest of the K-2 students in Reading Club this week, which happens during the school day on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Look for an extra book or activity on these days. There won't always be something to bring home, but any duotangs and books should be returned the day after they come home. Thanks. The letter we are focusing on this week is Cc, and words for the Word Wall are there, they, and can. If you haven't sent in your child's school fees yet (those who haven't have had notes in agendas), please do so as soon as possible. Thanks!

WEEK 17

This week we will be talking about the letter "Bb".

  New tricky words are said, here and it.

  I will be "testing" your child for a reading level this week, and then he/she will begin bringing a book home each night to read. As well, the Word Box bags will come home then. A letter of explanation will come with them so you will know what to do. Next week we will join the K-2 Reading Clubs.

WEEK 16

WELCOME BACK ON TUESDAY, JANUARY 7th!

Wow!  Christmas is over and here we are in a new year and raring to go!

Through the next few months we will be covering the letters of the alphabet in order, beginning to bring books home to read, practicing our tricky words, improving our writing skills, and so much more!

This week we will be doing activities related to the letter Aa.  The "Alphabet Bucket" will be coming home with each child, starting on Tuesday with Achilles.  The instructions are on the container - please help your child find some items that begin with the letter of the week.  They will bring it back the next day and share what they have brought with the class.  Please don't send fragile or other special items, that you don't want broken.  Accidents happen, as much as we try to take care of things.

Words to add to the word wall for this week are come, some, and as.

Happy Birthday to Jayden on the 6th of January, and Raven on the 10th!
