Community Read

We have been continuing with our community read and have had several parents participate on different occasions. The students are loving having their parents come so they can show off their blossoming reading skills.  Please consider joining us for our special Christmas Community Read on Thursday December 20, from 8:30-9:30.  We will have special Christmas treats available for our readers.

Cultures and celebrations around the world

This month we have been learning about different cultures, traditions and celebrations around the world. Yesterday we learned about Germany, and the history of the Christmas Tress.  During Art time, we made these cool Christmas tree hats!

Check out our new Knuffle Bunny Video!

We have been spending the week enjoying the writing of Mo Willems.  One of our favourite books has been Knuffle Bunny.  We wondered what Knuffle Bunny did while he was lost, so Mrs. Wideen and I thought it would be fun to see where Knuffle Bunny went....

Reading Folders

Parents - Please know that I am in the process of completing updated reading assessments.  I am going to be hanging on to the reading folders this week, so that I can have the students choose new books that more accurately reflect their current reading level.
Thank you for your continued support.

Time, Temperature and Money

Today, we are starting a new math unit that covers Time, Temperature and Money. Here are some activities that you can work on at home to support our learning at school....

• Discuss with your child the special events your family celebrates during the year. Have your child help you record these dates on a calendar.

• If you have an outside thermometer at home, direct your child's attention to where the mercury is in the morning and then again at night.  Ask him or her if the mercury has risen or fallen.

• When shopping with your child, point out food products (up to a dollar) and have your child read the amounts.

We are looking forward to some really fun activities to do with these topics over the next few weeks!
