Hi there and welcome back! I hope that everyone had a fun and relaxing March Break and are excited to be back to school. This week in Kindergarten:

Read your Borrow-A-Book- Read and be read to each night. This week you have the book on Little Penguin and Leprechaun, Leprechaun, What Do You See?, plus 2 levelled text. As you read; point to each word, use the pictures for cues, say the beginning letter sound and sound out all letters in an unknown word, identify sight words you know. Please read 1 or 2 books each night and fill in the reading log.Return all borrow-a-books to class on Friday.

Rock Star Sight Words- Review and practice printing your sight words during the week.Once your child knows these words quickly, sign the sheet and return it to class. I will check their words and if they are ready, I will send home a new sheet.Thanks!!

Are You Irish?- As we explore and celebrate St. Patricks Day this week, we want to know who in our class is Irish and what your heritage is. Please fill out the sheet,"Your Roots are Showing" with your child and have them draw a picture of a fun tradition your family does each year. Please return the sheet to school for Thusday, March 17th.Thanks!

Happy St. Patrick's Day- On Thursday, March 17th, wear your green as we celebrate St. Patrick's Day.Also we will be trying to catch a leprechaun in class, so please bring in recycables your Kinders can use to make the perfect leprechaun trap.

Math-In honour of St. Patrick's Day play "LUCKY 7" card game. You need a deck of cards, using only cards Ace(1) to 7. Place them face down in the middle of the table.Players will take turns drawing two cards, if they make 7 they keep the cards, if not, turn the cards back over and the next player has a turn.If you draw a 7, it's a "LUCKY 7", you keep the 7 and take another turn. Have fun and may the luck of the Irish be with you!
