Happy Monday!

We were very happy to get back into routine today after the short week.   Our new letter of the week is "e".  We talked about the 2 different sounds "e" can make (long and short vowel sounds) and how important of a letter it is.  We even have 2 friends in the class who's name starts with our special letter...Ella and Enoch!
Our word of the week is "me".  This was a good example of how the letter "e" sometimes says it's own name in words.  We buttered our word in our special poem today.  The students will be looking for "me" in books at home and counting how many they can find.  We explored "me" and the letter "e" in many fun activities today and will continue to do so for the rest of the week.

Our senior students came home with a new snuggle book today.  Please keep it at home and send it back on Friday. I hope you are enjoying some quality snuggle time with your kids!

Our school Lenten project this year is to assist the Kanata Food Cupboard by collecting non-perishable foods and toiletries.  Please see the list and link if you are able to donate. We thank you in advance for your generosity and kindness.
