WEEK 31

A four day week coming up, with teachers going to meetings on the mainland on Friday, May 1st.  Another 4 day week next week, with Monday being the teachers annual union meeting day.

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

The Calithumpians, a group from Fredericton, will be putting on a show for the students on Tuesday afternoon.   We were unable to have Theatre New Brunswick Young Company earlier this year due to an injury one of the actors had happen to them, so this presentation is in place of that one.  They publicize their program as an "enviro-drama".

This week is Country/Western week - we encourage students to get in the mood by the following activities:  Monday - bandana day
                  Tuesday - Plaid  Day
                  Wednesday - Denim Day  there will also be a dance from 6-6:45 for K-2 students
                  Thursday - Cowboy-cowgirl day

WEEK 30

Time is winding down, and here we are past the halfway mark in April already!  Another full week coming up.  Today is dress rehearsal for the Music Festival, which happens Wednesday night and Thursday morning in the Great Hall. Your child will bring a schedule home with him/her this afternoon!  We will be watching the Elementary Drama club put on their play, WELCOME TO GRAND MANAN, tomorrow morning at 9, which is also their dress rehearsal before they go to Drama Festival at Fundy High on Wednesday morning.

The next few weeks we will be doing two alphabet letters each week, and this week we will be talking about Oo and Pp.  Words for the Word Wall this week are play, more, of and before.

WEEK 29

First off, my apologies for not posting last week - just kept getting put off, I guess!

Last week there were a few things that came home that I should mention before getting on to the coming week:

  - The Jump Rope for Heart packet is fairly self explanatory.
  - The Reading contest from the library is also self explanatory.  Any questions can be answered by   the library staff, 662-7099

  - as always, the word box bags, homework, and reading bags come home .  Thank you for helping your child complete these tasks. They all help in achieving the goals of the Kindergarten curriculum.

For this week, we will talk about the letter Nn.  Words for the Word Wall are this, any, many, and had.

WEEK 26

Report cards will be coming home mid-week, with Parent/Teacher Interviews on Thursday night from 6-8pm and Friday morning from 9-11am.  There will be sign-up sheets outside K-2 teachers doors.  That means no school for students on Friday, March 27th.

We will be talking about the letter "K" this week, as well as adding what, when, and okay to the Word Wall.

WEEK 25

We are well in to March, now, and report card time is coming soon.  Watch for a note to come home next week for scheduling Parent/ Teacher meetings.

This week we will be talking about Jj.  Words for the Word Wall are on, little, and down.  Please review the whole list of words that are at the top of each homework page - your child should be able to read them all.

WEEK 23

Finally, Day 100 is upon us! We will celebrate it on Monday, February 23rd, unless it ends up being a storm day, which looks possible at this point.  If we are closed on Monday, then Tuesday will be Day 100.  You are welcome to come and watch as we do our festivities in the gym, from 10:50-11:50, and to view the projects in the cafeteria, at 1:30.

We will be talking about the letter Hh this week, and words for the Word Wall are live, give, and his.

This is our last week before the March Break week. School will resume on March 9th.  Have a great break!
