The school year has started and our classroom is buzzing with excitement. We have been having so much fun getting to know one another and learning to work and play cooperatively. We have been learning more about our school and class rules and how to be safe on the playground. The children love story time and especially enjoy "Pete the Cat" books. We are off to a great start in Kindergarten. Check back soon for more updates :)

On Wednesday, June 13, K-1 is going to travel to the Magnetic Hill Zoo in Moncton for our year-end class trip. We will be going with Mrs, Sullivan-Goguen's Kindergarten class. This should be such a fun day. We are looking forward to seeing how many of our "Zoo-Phonics" animal friends are at the zoo. I will post pictures upon our return. Please check back. :)

Please come out to our "Meet the Teacher" evening on Thursday, September 21. We will begin at 5pm in our school cafeteria. Mr. Fitzpatrick and Mrs. Maloney will say a few words and introduce the staff. We will then move outside for a BBQ and some fun----I hear there is going to be a jumping castle!!!! It is a wonderful way to meet teachers that are working with your child and to meet/re-connect with friends, families and staff at Nelson Rural. We hope to see you all there!

Saturday, April 22 is Earth Day. I LOVE this day and really enjoy teaching my students ways they can make a difference and help them to deepen their interest/curiousity/passion/love for this wonderful planet of ours. We will be celebrating Earth Day at school on April 21. In honour of Earth day, we are hoping that the children will wear blue and green- if they can. We are also having a litterless lunch to reduce the amount of garbage we throw away. We have a presentation scheduled tomorrow afternoon from the Northumberland Solid Waste commission. The presentation will help the children gain more knowledge about our recycling programme in Miramichi and show them other ways they can help the planet. I have already noticed many "Earth Helpers" outside on the playground when I'm on duty. Way to go Nelson Kiddos!

Happy New Year! I wish you all the best in 2016. Just wanted to let you know of a great link the children and I found. http://pbskids.org/lions/games/monkeymatch.html It is excellent for practicing rhyme, beginning sounds and matching upper and lowercase letters. If your child has an opportunity to play on an ipad or computer then this is a great link.
We will be focusing on the sound of Nn next week and you can work with your child on generating words that begin with and end with the sound of Nn. You will notice that ending sounds can be tricky. :)
We are learning about germs in You and Your World and how to be a "Germ Buster"! We drew germs on Friday. We have also learned about different traditions that families have and how special celebrations such as "NEW YEARS" can be celebrated in so many different ways around the world.
We have 3 birthdays this month. Keegan and Logan have a birthday on the 25 and Ava has her birthday on the 27. Happy Birthday!
