We have Gym Classes every Tuesday-Friday, please dress in comfortable clothing.

For homework this week please review Zoophonics letters\sounds and actions. Please focus on the letters a-e and also the letters in your childs name. Your child is to read their 3 borrow-a-books throughout the week. Read the books as many time as possible. Please have your child print their own name on the log sheet, this is good practice for them, especially for those who are still learning to print their name. Return all 3 books in the bag on Friday.

In Math we have been working on identifying and reproducing AB patterns. Look for patterns at home and see if you child can tell you what repeats in the pattern. We are focusing on numbers 0-5, saying the number sequence, recognizing and naming familiar arrangements of 1-3 objects. Play a dice game with your child, have them roll a dice and see if they can quickly name what they rolled without counting the dots. Have your child practice counting 0-5.

 Welcome back. I hope everyone had a fun weekend and are excited to be back at school.

This week in Kindergarten, I am sending home information about the Zoo-phonics program which we use to help reinforce  letter identification\sound. We will be reviewing the program daily in class and ask that students review actions and sounds for each letter every night at home. Should you have any questions or concerns please contact me at school, 627-4074. 

 We have been reviewing safety rules for; the classroom, playground, cafeteria, gym, school bus. A copy of the "I Care Rules and the provincial Dino School Bus Safety rules will be sent home this week, it would be appreciated if you could review these rules with your child. A copy of each will also be put on this web page. Thanks.
