​Weekly News

Monday, September 26^th-30^th, 2016

What we are learning:

This week we will be introducing the letter sounds for “Ii” and “Pp”.  In math, we are continuing our unit on sorting and patterning. For You and Your World, we will continue to learn about safety routines at school, such as a fire drill, and introduce school evacuation and lockdown safety drills.  Please talk to your child at home about these procedures as they can be somewhat intimidating the first time that the children experience them.

Information Items/Dates to Remember:

·         Terry Fox Walk is Thursday.  Please make sure that your child wears comfortable clothing and footwear that is weather appropriate for that day.

Homework:

-Practice the new letter sounds at home this week (Ii” and “Pp”).  See jolly phonics booklet) 

-Continue to review the letters/sounds we have already introduced. Try not to always review in the same order.

- starfall.com is a great website for students to work on their letters and sounds

-Keep working on printing your child’s name at home if they are having difficulty with it.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to call me at school, send a note in your child’s communication bag, or send an email.
