Ext.4220 In Language Arts these

coming weeks we are

learning the sounds for oi,

and ue and we will be

reviewing all our sounds

after the week holiday.

We now have gone over

all the letter sounds and

the students are learning

to blend them together to

form words . We have a

few more two letter

sounds left, and then we

will be looking at tricky

words and sight words.

Each sound has an action,

even the two letters to-

gether we are learning

now. They are continuing

to practice printing the

letters in their Jolly

Phonics book. We will be

finishing up dinosaurs

this week, with a small

culminating activity on

Thursday Feb. 21 for the

PM class, and Friday Feb.

22 for the AM class. Our

next theme is ALL ABOUT

ME AND MY FAMILY.

We are continuing our

home reading If you feel

your child is ready to move

up to a higher level, please

send in a note with their

reading and we will send

home the next level book if

available.

The Thursday theme bags

have gone out for two

weeks now, and with the

week off we will NOT be

sending a bag home on

Thursday since many peo-

ple will be gone. However,

if you will be home and

will have time, please send

a note or an email and we

will gladly send home a

Thursday bag on the 21st.

In math we are starting 2D

and 3D shapes, so when it

is your child’s turn to be

special helper, please help

them find something that

is NOT a toy, and that can

be described as a sphere,

cube, rectangular prism,

cylinder or cone.

The weather is hopefully

warming up so we can go

outside, but we will still be

using the gross motor room

as well

We enjoyed our Olympics on

January 31st. We were in dif-

ferent coloured teams to repre-

sent each country. Each coun-

try won a different event from

the Humpty Dumpty puzzle

race, to the twinkle twinkle

little star sort, mother goose

waddle, jack be nimble candle

jump and the hey diddle diddle

spoon race. We are now in the

midst of discovering dinosaurs,

and have been digging, draw-

ing, reading, measuring and

learning about dinosaurs. Val-

entine’s Day had us doing different heart

stations and we will soon be tackling All

about me. To see photos, check out the

website .

Have a great week off!

March are to bring in something that is

one of our 3D shapes, toys this month

volunteer not on your child’s special day,

please let me know so I can find a date

We will be having a sledding day with the

other kindergarten class, hopefully this

week, we will let you know as soon as it is

approved and we are sure the weather will

be warm enough.

I have a few copies of “Handwriting without

tears” which is a program I have used in

other years. If you are interested in a copy

to help your child practice printing at home,

let me know and I will send it home.
