Cookie Sale for Easter seals

The grade 5 and 6 classes will be having a cookie sale tomorrow.  The proceeds will go towards Easter Seals.  The cookies are .25 cents each.  We will let the children have one cookie during class time.  If you wish to buy more cookies please send in a bag and we will send extra cookies home with them.  If you would like to just make a donation, please just send a note along with bag of money.

Field Trip

Please check your child’s homework binder for information about our upcoming field trip.  Please sign and return permission slips with $5.00 as soon as possible.

Token sales

Please try to send exact change when buying tokens.  We do our token sales here in the classroom and things go much faster if we have exact change.  You may also send a cheque payable to Central Queens Elementary School.

Sight words

Just a reminder that the children have list of sight words inside the cover of their homework binder. You may want to use these words at home to play games with or point out to your child, when you are reading together.  We have about 27 words that we work with on a daily basis here in kindergarten.  They are known as “Fish pond words”.  When you child knows the first list of 9 words, please send in a note and we will give you the next list.  When your child knows all 27 kindergarten words there is a bigger list of sight words that we can send home.  Please remember that there is NO expectation that your child know these words this year.  We just see this as the next step, if they have a good grasp on letter and sound reorganization.  When you child knows the 3 list of kindergarten words, they can receive a certificate for their hard work.  Remember that working with words should be fun and never a job at this age.

Repot cards

Please send in your child’s signed report card when you are done looking at it.  If you have any questions now or at anytime during the remainder of the year, please give us a call.

~Thank you~
