It was lovely to meet all of you during our intake meetings. If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to reach out.

 

Planting and Painting: We will plant a Creeping Stonecrop in our schools Indigenous Garden as part of our Truth and Reconciliation. We will also paint orange rocks to symbolize our learning about the “truth” in Truth and Reconciliation. Ask us what we chose to use as a design on our rocks.

Language Arts:

This week we will be learning about tricky words (words that are not easily decoded without mature understanding of phonics rules and patterns). Last week we learned three tricky words: the, of, as. Feel free to practice these words with your child. Can they find them in a book you are reading? Can they create the words with playdough, magnet letters, or with a marker on paper?
