Week of Feb. 6th

Our letter of the week is "e".  We talked about the different sounds that this letter makes and talked about it being a vowel.  Lots of the friends in the class have an "e" in their name.  The children were busy finding "e"s in books, flyers and all around the classroom.

Our word of the week is "me".  The sk students wrote some pretty amazing sentences using their phonetic spelling.  See below for samples of their awesome writing.  Please continue to point the popcorn words out during nightly reading.  It is very beneficial for your child.

We are in need of lots of EMPTY kleenex boxes for our Valentine's Day craft.  If you have any, we will gladly take them!!!  Each child needs a box for this craft.

If your child will be sending in Valentine's cards, please have them write only their name on each card and NOT the other students names on the "to" portion.  This will ensure a smooth distribution of cards.  Thank you!

Communication of Learning:   A new form of reporting will  be sent home on February 15.  This brand new version of a kindergarten "report card" is quite different from what some of you might be used to.  I will post a link with more information from the Ministry of Education shortly.

Here are some pictures from today:
