What Comes After Zed?

 We have finished our Letter A Day and now we will now begin putting some letters together to make simple words. We will play a singing game from the old days of Sesame Street that goes like this:
You take the C, that's "C"
and the A-T, "AT"
You put it all together and that spells (The children call out the answer) CAT!
That's CAT, C-A-T, CAT, well that's CAT, C-A-T, CAT.

Thank you to everyone who sent in Alphabet books. They were very much enjoyed!!

Tomorrow we will begin our next unit, which is Fairytales!

We will be reading stories about castles,

                                                 enchanted animals,

and all your favourite characters.

So there's a lot that happens after the Zed!    : )

Valentine's Day Parties

Dear Parents;

   For fun tomorrow we decided to wear Valentine colours if we have them. So check your closets and bring out all the red, white, pink and purple you can find. The more the merrier. We will also be wearing our Love Bug hats, which the morning class  made with their reading buddies. The afternoon class has reading buddies later, so our very hard-working volunteers helped them make these beautiful hats. We will deliver the Valentine cards to the children's mailboxes and send them home to be opened there so none get lost or mixed up. It will be lots of fun to see what the cards look like. Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!

Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is coming! If your child would like to bring in cards for their class they are welcome to do so. Since they are young and they are many, the easiest way to arrange things is for you or your child to just sign each card with their own name. There is no need to write their friends's names on too. If everyone does address the cards that's 1600 Valentines to sort! Whew!! We will make special bags for their mailboxes and do some lovely heart crafts to celebrate. It will be another great February day.
