Summer

We wish all parents and students an amazing summer spending time together & having fun engaging in lots of summer activities!

Tomorrow

Tomorrow is yellow day so wear something that is yellow or bring in something that is yellow!

Also, report cards go home tomorrow! :)

Photos

Each student today took home their journal from the year.  Included with their journal entries are photos from the year and some of their work.  

Please enjoy looking through the book with your child and hopefully you'll save it as a reminder of all the fun things we did during the year!

BBQ

Tomorrow the whole school will be treated to a small hotdog and drink for lunch!

Please make sure to still pack snacks for your child to eat throughout the day.

Graduation

Wednesday at 9:30am is our class' graduation ceremony in the school gym.

Please make sure your child arrives to school by 8:30am so they can prepare for the ceremony & receive their gown before the ceremony starts.

As well, SK's are asked to bring in a peanut free treat to share with the class in the afternoon for our graduation party!

See you all Wednesday morning!

Father's Day

Just a reminder that Friday is our Father's Dat popcorn party!  

Father's are incites to join their child at school at 2:00pm to eat popcorn & complete activities with their child.

See you Friday!

Friday

Tomorrow is a PD Day and there is no school for students.

Enjoy your weeknd together!

Reading Skills

We have worked very hard this year and all of the SK's in our class are reading on their own!  Some at a kindergarten level and most at a grade 1 level or higher.  We also have a handful of JK students reading at a kindergarten level as well!

Reading is a vital skill that needs to be practiced.  Please buy or borrow kindergarten and grade 1 level books for your child to read to you.  They should be stories with 1-2 sentences on each page.  

I strongly encourage parents to buy levelled readers from scholastics or other stores to practice reading with your child over the summer.  The stronger their reading skills the easier the transition will be to grade 1.

When your child is stuck on a word help them learn strategies for figuring the word out: look at the pictures, sound out the word, break the word up into smaller bits they know, rereading to make sure what they are reading sounds right etc.

Reading level appropriate books over the summer will boost their confidence in their own abilities!

Freezies

Tomorrow is freezie day again!  

If you would like your child to purchase a large freezie please send $1 to school.  All the proceeds support the upcoming grade 4 field trip!

Dress Down Day

Tomorrow is Hawaiian dress down day!
