Practice pointing to each word and remember when you get to the period you stop reading. Have fun reading and sharing your story with your family.

We have been reviewing the Zoophonics letter\sound and actions in class. Please practice with the zoophonics chart at home this week. This is great practice for your child especially, if they do not know all of the letters of the alphabet.

We were very excited to meet Fred Fox, Terry Foxes older brother. He told us some great stories about Terry. Fred shared that Terry was just an ordinary guy who wanted to make a difference and help other's. Terry was determined and always tried his best. He truly was a great Canadian! We are grateful to Fred and his family for working so hard to keep Terry's legacy and dream, The Marthon of Hope, alive.

We have been learning the rules and their importance at school, on the playground and bus to ensure everyone will have fun and be safe as they work and play at school. It would be appreciated if parents would review the rules and how important it is for everyone to follow them, with your child at home. Thanks for your support!

School pictures- If you wish to order your child's picture the due date is Wednesday September 20th. If you would like retakes please send the picture form back indicating retakes. The date for retakes will be announced.

The children were so excited to see their Grandparents on Friday at our tea. They did a fantastic job with their song and poem. I am very proud of all of them. I truly enjoyed meeting all of your Grandpaents and would like to thank them for the love and support they give to their Grandchildren. 

I am really enjoying getting to know your children. They make me smile everyday!

Have a great week, everyone! Smile and have fun!

A very Happy Mother's Day to all of our Moms and Grandmothers. Where would we be without our amazing Mommies? We hope that you like our letters, cards, and gifts we made for you. Have a wonderful day, you deserve it! We love you!

Hello Everyone and welcome back to school on the first day of May. This will be a short week for students as there is No Shool on Thursday and Friday, May 3rd and 4th due to NBTA meetings and Subject Council for Teachers.

This week please read your book each night. Use the strategies you know to help you figure out the unknown words. Re-read your book. This is excellent practice and will help to improve your fluency.

Homework book- We have three pages in our book. One is on 3D shapes, look around your house for different 3D shapes and draw the picture or write the name of the object in the correct box. See if you can find two different items for each shape. The other two pages you will practice printing, finding and reading the word "in". Plese return your book to school on Wednesday.Thanks!

Show and Tell- Because of the short week we have some changes to our Show and Tell schedule. For this week only, students from red and blue tables will do show and tell on Tuesday and students from purple and green tables will do their show and tell on Wednesday. Please remember to practice what you are going to say about the item you will show. It is best to practice with a parent or family member at home. You should beable to tell us, "Where you got the item, who gave you the item, what the item can do and what you like about the item." This activity is a part of our oral language. The goal is for students to speak freely about their item with little or no prompting from the teacher.  Thanks!

Have a fantastic week at school!
