May 5 - 9th

Please send your child prepared for the changing spring weather. As the weather becomes nicer, we will be doing our 20 mins of  DPA (daily physical activity) outside. With the heat last week, students should be coming to school with a hat, sunscreen (left in their backpack), sunglasses and an extra drink. I will be encouraging students to drink water continually throughout the day and to remove their school vest/sweater if they feel hot. Alternatively, when the weather changes to rain, please make sure your child comes to school with a hooded jacket and rain boots. They can change into their school shoes when they arrive in the classroom.

Snack & lunch: During snack time, I've noticed that most students usually eat 1-2 (ie fruit, granola bar) of their snacks and then at lunch, they end up only having a sandwich and a drink. Please be aware that your child's appetite is continually growing and I would suggest to everyone to pack 1-2 additional healthy snacks/drinks.

I am a Gift from God program - on the days that your child has homework on their booklet (Wed/Fri), I will be sending out an email to all the parents after school. I will also post it on the blog but sometimes there is a delay and some parents are not receiving the emails in time. Please remind your child to complete only the page that has been indicated in the email - Mrs. Lemire and I appreciate your help with this.

Math - students will be learning about money (names of coins, quantities) as well as an introduction to measurement

Language Arts - students will continue to recognize pre-primer sight words, turtle talking to print words in their drawing/journal, identifying rhyming words
