May 16-20

Hello everyone.

We had a FABULOUS afternoon Friday watching our movie and eating our ice cream sundaes! A BIG congratulations to the students for doing an amazing job during our read-a-thon!!

Nanny Sue is planning our last craft for June and she is looking for 10 ounce empty cans. If you can help us collect some that would be great! Thanks

Here are this week’s word wall words.

1. don’t

2. won’t

3. yes

4. just

5. many

We have 3 more weeks after this week. That means just another 16 more words to learn. Please take time during the week to practise these words. They occur very often in texts your child reads. Learning how to read these words will help your child with his/her writing as well. Keep up the good work!

In Math, we will continue to work on solving word problems using pictures, numbers and words. Children will focus on learning key words in the word problem which indicates the math operation (addition or subtraction).

In Science, we are exploring living things and their needs. We will go outside and see what they can find in our school yard.

Important Dates:

Tuesday, May 17th - CGE Assembly at 1:00pm

Thursday, May 19th - Kindergarten Welcome Night, 5:30-7:00pm

Wednesday, May 25th - Library Exchange

Wednesday, May 25th - Gr. 1 Trip to Baxter Conservation (more info to follow)

If you have any questions or concerns, please write me a note in your child’s agenda.

Have a great week!
