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!

WEEK 30
This week, albeit a short one, will be packed full, as usual!
We are now "doing" two letters each week, so we can get through the whole alphabet in time. This week we are talking about Oo and Pp. New words for the Word Wall are more, before, of, and play.
We had lots to share in Show and Tell today!
Please remember that the Word Box Bags that your child brings home can be exchanged daily. There are lots of bags with words to read, so send them back for a new one regularly!
As well, please remember that all of the classes at GMCS are collecting spare change to help build a school in an impoverished country.

WEEK 28
This week we will look at words beginning with the letter Mm. Our Word Wall words are: an, who, which, and with.
Ms. Leslie continues to come in and work with me, helping your child learn how to put the sounds they know together with their thoughts to make words and put them on paper. We are using the Daily Five program, which is a Language Arts (reading and writing) tool used across the United States and Canada. The students are on their way to becoming readers AND writers - exciting!
