Week of April 24th

Today was an exciting day exploring and creating for Earth Week.  The students were busy writing and drawing about ways they can help keep our planet clean and safe for us to live.  We will be working on Earth Week activities all week and are hoping to get outside to clean up our school yard if the weather permits.

This week, we will revisit the letter y and it's associated sounds.  Our word of the week is "yes".  The sk students did an amazing job today writing sentences using "yes".  

Today a letter was sent home requesting email addresses of the moms in the class.  This is needed for a very special Mother's Day surprise from your child.  Please send it back to school at your earliest convenience. 

Another note will be coming home on Tuesday requesting a hanger and one of your child's shirts.  They will be used for an activity for Education Week and will be returned in the same condition they were sent in.  We hope you will come for a visit next Friday to see why we needed these 2 items!!

Next week is Education Week.  It is a very busy week filled with many events happening throughout the school.  

Monday  - Book Fair viewing

Tuesday - Book Fair viewing and school mass at St. Isidore Church ( not for kindergarten)

Wednesday - Double Lunch Day and Book Fair purchasing

Thursday - Book Fair purchasing and Entrepreneurial Adventure of Grade 6

Friday - Muffin Breakfast 8-9am, Silent Auction, News Show, Jump Rope for Heart

Letter and Word of the Week

We hope you had a lovely Easter with your family!

This week, we will not be focusing on a letter or word due to Monday being a holiday.  Please keep working with your child on letter recognition, letter sounds and the popcorn words which we have learned.

With the wet weather ahead this week, please ensure that your child comes to school dressed for the weather.  We have had some soakers and muddy pants over the past few weeks!

Happy Easter!

Wishing you all a happy and restful Easter with your family!

Week of April 10th

What an amazing day we had today! The sun was out, the winter gear was put away and everyone was so happy! Spring is finally here!

This week we will be looking at the word "at".  The children were able to come up with many examples of words from the "at" family.  The sk students extended their learning by writing amazing sentences using "at".  Check out their work in the pictures below.

This week we will be talking about Jesus' final days.  We will be hearing about Jesus' last supper with his disciples as well as His kind act of washing their feet.  The children are excited about the opportunity to reenact this kind act with their classmates.  We will also be sharing some pita bread and apple juice to symbolize the sharing of bread and wine.  On Thursday,  we will be going to see the Grade 6 presentation of the Stations of the Cross.

Wishing you all a very Happy Easter with your loved ones!.

Week of April 3rd

Today the students had a blast turning the dramatic play area into a veterinary clinic.  They were busy making pictures and signs to decorate and label this area.  Today was all about setting it up and tomorrow will be a big day to use their imagination and care for our classroom stuffed animals!  Oh to be a child again!

Our letter of the week is "p" and our word of the week is "spring".  We started out by finding all the p's in the poem and then buttered "spring" as well as kinged  the "ing".

We read a great book today which reminded us to smile a lot.  The students then illustrated and wrote about what makes them smile.  Their examples were so adorable!

With the warmer temperatures in our future, please remember to send in extra socks and ensure that your child has a spare pair of pants at school.
