​Hi Everyone!

Here we go again! Another snow day. This moves our 100th day of school to Wednesday. The children are very excited about our 100th day of school and I have some fun activities planned for them. I can't wait!

This is also our Seusstastic Week. On Friday we will be going skating at York Arena. If you can help out with tying skates we would really appreciate it. This is a fun time for students and a great opportunity for great pictures.

In math the grade ones are working on addition and the strategies that help us. The kindergarten students are working on part/part/whole (which is a precursor to addition). eg. the whole is 5 and the parts could 3 and 2 or 4 and 1, etc.

Our new Word Wall words for this week are ​your, were, have, they, saw. We are still working on letter blends and this week we are looking at -er-, -ir-, -ur- or bossy r sound. 

In You and Your World last week we talked a lot about washing our hands and keeping the germs at bay. You might hear the children counting to 20 or singing the ABC song while washing their hands. Haha but it works!

I hope you are enjoying this snow and making the best of it. After this week is March Break and we'll all enjoy some down time.

Have a great week!
