One more week until Spring Break!

This week we learned the song, “Robin in the Rain” and made robins for our classroom tree. See if you can find real robins as you walk through your neighbourhood.

Our family projects

When each student is special helper they share their family photo and family project. They are doing a great job!

Story Workshop

We have been creating stories through “story workshop” where we build stories with items. We then document our story with words.

Skating on March 12

Please remember to send your child with appropriate gear including snow pants, jacket, mittens, sports helmet (if they have one). All students will travel by school bus leaving around 9am. Please be at school on time! Thank you to all parent helpers. We will meet you at Kensington rink.

Gr. 1 Book bags

Please return book bags on Monday so I can provide you with new books to read over Spring Break. It’s important for Gr. 1 students to read these books to an adult at home to guide them as they read. Please encourage your child to read the books multiple times throughout the week. Perhaps you can make a special time each day (at bedtime, after school, etc) so reading can be a part of the daily routine. Some parents make a rule that there is no screen time allowed until their child has read for 10 minutes-whatever works for your family. The important thing to note is that we only become better readers by reading and reading more!

Kindergarten students -please practice your alphabet rap books at home.
