Week of April 23

Spring has sprung!  The students were so excited to be outside enjoying the sun!  This weather is a bit tricky to dress for due to the mornings still being chilly,  The best way to deal with this is to send your child with layers.  By the end of the day today, most of the kids were excited to be outside without their coats and gloves!

Today we finished writing our pen pal letters to our friends at Guardian Angels School in Stittsville.  The students did such a great job on their letters and are looking forward to getting a response back.

This year, we will be celebrating our mothers.  On Monday, May 14th, we are inviting all moms (or aunts, grandmas if mom can't come) to join us in a mother and child yoga session followed by tea and cookies.  The yoga class will begin at 10:00 am so feel free to join us at 9:30.  We are asking you to bring a yoga mat if you have one.  The yoga class will be about 20 minutes long followed by a picnic with cookies and tea.  If the weather doesn't cooperate, we will bring the picnic indoors!  More details to come this week.

Our letter of the week is "y" and our word is "yes".  The students are getting good at putting the letter sounds together and sounding out simple words.  Please continue to practise letter recognition and letter sounds with your child.  It is so beneficial for them.

On May 9th, we are going on a field trip to Valley View Farms.  Please send back the permission form that was sent home last week.  If you are free to volunteer, we will need you from 9:00-1:30.  There will be spots on the bus for volunteers too.
