Highlights:
Today we got to meet an important member of our community… Constable George Kovacs!  He has been with the police force for 10 years and loves working with the schools and teaching children.  Did you know his most important tools are his brain and his heart? 

Students in Mrs. Daniel’s class got a chance to explore on the laptops this afternoon.  The boys and girls got to explore on a wonderful website called ABCya.  Try some of the programs and games at home.

Did you know that Mrs. Dobler has completed 2 Iron Man races?  She shared her experiences with us today in gym.  We even had a chance to compete in our own triathlon!


Homework:

No Literacy M.A.P. homework for the weekend, just keep on reading!

Tell and Show – Next week we start the letter “H”.   Some students were finding it difficult to finish their printing and their colouring on the same night.  If this is happening, try starting the page earlier and do a little each night to spread out the work into more manageable chunks.

Home Reading – Please have your child read around 20 minutes every night.  Don’t forget to ask questions and have conversations about the text.

Kidsa-z.com Reading – Besides reading the at-home white readers that are going home every day, you may also log on to “Raz-Kids”, using the kidsa-z.com website.  The login information is taped on your child’s purple folder.


Ask Me About:
What is a triathlon?  How many activities does it entail?  What are they?
