Hello everyone!

I put concert tickets in each students homework folder yesterday. Please take them out and keep what you need and return to the school what you won’t be using.

If there are tickets returned, I can disperse them to those who may need extra tickets for their family to come watch.

Thanks!

Kelley

Well seems I’m working on a better late than never Moro this with the blog! Time is slipping away. I can’t believe we are into the first week of December!

Leaders:

When we have a storm day our leader rotation stays the same. But the person who was supposed to have their leader day on the storm day gets to have theirs the first day back to school as well as the person who has it that day. For example, if Rylan was Wednesday and it was a storm, he can bring it his show and tell Thursday. Alexa who has show and tell Thursday will bring hers too. We will have two leaders and two show and tells that day. This way no one misses their day!! Also if they forget one day, they can bring it the next day. This is an important day for the children and they don’t like to miss it 😊

Literacy:

I will send home the Fundations work today, the printer was not working on Monday.

We have been working really hard on hearing beginning sounds of words. Fundations this week talks about hearing sounds at the end of words. This is a skill that usually comes together for the students closer to the end of the year. Saying this it doesn’t hurt to talk about the ending sounds and encouraging the children’s to hear them.

Numeracy:

We have begun talking about patterns! Soon that is all you will hear about. The children will be noticing them everywhere!! We will recognize patterns, create them, build them and extend them. We will mostly be working on an AB pattern (2 attributes) but will also talk about more challenging patterns ABC, ABB or AAB. Patterns are the foundation for all other numeracy skills.

Other news:

We have no school on Friday. Our last day before Christmas break is Friday December 20 and our first day back is Monday January 6.

Our concert will be December 10th with a storm day of December 13

Have a good week

Hello!

I sent home book orders last night, along with concert information and a birthday invitation.

There will send home the pancake and pajama fundraiser tonight.

The Book order will be due on Friday.

Thanks

How is it possible that we are at the last week of November already?!? This month flew by!!

Friday we will be having crazy hair/hat day in support of Special Olympics, please send in $1.00 if you have one.

Please make sure to send splash pants or snow pants, hats and mittens each day. The children go out everyday unless it is not raining. It is getting cold!

Literacy:

We have two new letters this week: p, j. I will send home the Fundations package today. Mae are really working on hearing the beginning sounds of words (cat begins with the sound /c/).

We learned last week about labeling our pictures which will transfer into our writing later on.

Numeracy:

We are working on sorting and the children love it!! We have talked about attributes, what is the same about items. Ask your child how these items were sorted.

Have a good week!

It’s great to be back to a routine and a 5 day week! I hope it doesn’t rain all week 😔

Literacy:

We are back to Fundations this week. The homework has been sent home last night. We have two new letters: e, r. Please practice printing and recognizing the letters.

We continue to work on beginning sounds of words and being able to say the sound.

These are the Trick Words we have so far:

Can, I, like, see, the, to, we, you

Playing games with these words will help with the recognition of them.

Mathematics:

We have moved into sorting! We are talking about attributes (how to describe something, or what an item has in common). We will be sorting lots of items by different attributes. Once we have that concept we will move into patterns.

We always continue to count and build sets.

Music:

We are practicing for our Christmas concert! Be prepared to hear the same songs over and over (and over) again!!

The concert date is December 10th, with a storm date of December 13.

There will be two concerts, one afternoon (1:10) and one evening (6:00). There will be tickets passed out closer to the date. We usually have a set amount per family and that’s all we can give.

Have a good week!

The book order came today but it was a little bit confusing. The list that tells me who orders which books had no names listed beside some books, and grouped books together with multiple children. I believe I got them straightened out but if there is a mistake please let me know and I will try to fix it.

The books are in the homework folder.

Have a great weekend!

Hello parents!

I hope you all had a relaxing long weekend and were able to remember all the soldiers that fought to keep us safe.

We have a very short week this week. There is no school Thursday or Friday for teacher conference.

There will be no Fundations this week so I can assess the students learning. Once this is complete we will set up groups for students who need a boost in letter recognition and sounds. If your child requires this group a letter will go home.

Math is a review of skills and next week we will begin some sorting.

The book order is on its way to us but will be passed out next week when we get back.

Have a good week!

Hello parents!

Your child’s report card is in their homework folder today. Inside is a note explaining about a technical problem. Please note that it says that your child is in French Immersion, and that there a lot of empty spaces. It also has marks in second term. In addition there are grammatical errors. Due to the technical challenges, these things could not be fixed before report cards were sent out. We will have it fixed for next term. Thank you for your patience with the technical difficulties 😊

Please review the report card and come with any questions tomorrow and Friday. Please return the envelope the report card is in and keep the report card at home.
