Week of Feb 4th

Happy February!  This month we will be talking about and focusing on being kind to all.  February is Kindness Month and our school is handing out awards each week to students who are kind, caring, helpful etc.  Last week, Noah from our class received the award for love.  We were so happy and proud to hear his name being called over the announcements!

Our letter of the week is "e" and our word of the week is"me".  Please continue pointing these words and letters out at home.  The students will be bringing home a new library book tonight and the sk students will have a new snuggle book.  This is a great opportunity to practise these letters and words.


We talked about Groundhog Day today and watched the video of Wairton Willy.  Everyone was thrilled that Willy predicted an early spring..Yippee!!!!!  We talked about how nice it will be to not wear gloves, snow pants, mittens etc.

Our egg experiment is still going strong.  The students had great observations today.  Please see the pictures below.

Since Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, we are asking if you could send in your EMPTY Kleenex boxes for a special craft. Each child will need one empty kleenex box. Thank you in advance! If you are sending in Valentine’s cards, please have your child fill out the “from” portion only. It becomes too difficult and time consuming for the children to pass out cards that are individually addressed.  We have 21 students in our class this year.
