May/June notes
Homework - The children were so upset when we told them that homework was done for the year that we have decided to continue for a few more weeks with the reading component. In your child’s message bag today, you will find their reading log sheets as well as some guided readers. Please read them with your child and sign the log sheet. We will change the book once a week.
Sight words – In kindergarten we have about 25 words (3 lists) that we work with on a regular basses. In kindergarten we want to expose them to as much print as we can. This said there is no expectation that they know certain about of words before leaving kindergarten; however, every bit helps. We will be sending home a larger list of words and if over the next few weeks or the summer you would like to work with these words feel more than free to do so. We are overwhelmed with the amount of home support we had this year, give your self a pat on the back for a job well done! J
Book Orders – The present book order is being shipped and should be here any day. The last book order will be sent home by June 3rd and will need to be back by June 10th, to ensure it will come back by the end of the year. No late orders please. L We would like to thank you for supporting the book order program. We were able to get many great books and resources to support you child’s learning this year. THANK YOU!
Shoes with laces – Some of the children are wearing shoes with laces but do not know how to tie. If this is the case please send other footwear for your child as they get frustrated when they need to wait for someone to tie their shoes.
Year End Trip – We have booked our year end trip. We will be going to Cabot Park to enjoy the beach, park and children’s centre. The date booked is June 21st, leaving the school at 9:00 am. and returning at the end of the day for bus dismissal. A permission slip and information sheet will come home next week.
As always if you have any questions please feel free to contact us. J
