Dear Families:
 
·         We are looking forward to seeing you at the Christmas concert this week!  Your little elf is excited to perform for you on December 12th and 13th.  The Christmas Concert is called “Elflandia” and both shows will be at 9:15 a.m. on those dates.  Families with last names starting with A-K are invited to attend on Monday, and families with last names starting with L-Z are Tuesday. All children will be performing on both days. Remember to bring a non-perishable items to donate to the Fredericton Community Kitchen on concert day!
 
What we are learning:
Literacy - This week we will introduce the next five words on List 3 (what, so, see, not, were). Our reading strategy for the month of November will be to look at the beginning sound of an unknown word and get our mouth ready to say that sound.  We will also introduce the letter sounds “ou/ow” (mouse/cow).
Math – We will continue to review +0/+1/+2 and introduce +3 over the next few weeks (the strategy that the children have learned is to find the greatest number and count on). 
You and Your World - We will discuss the difference between needs and wants and how media influences consumers. 
 
Information Items/Dates to Remember:
·         The last day of school in 2016 is Friday, December 23rd. It is a half day for students. Students return to school after the holiday on Tuesday, January 10th.
·         The cafeteria will be serving Christmas dinner on Tuesday, December 20th and no other options will be available to purchase. Orders are due no later than the 16th of December and payment ($5.50) can also be made online.
·         WE ACT group is selling Christmas ornaments for $1.00 each-proceeds are going to the Community Kitchen and Haiti.
·         It would be helpful if your child had an extra change of clothes including mittens and socks as we are noticing many are coming in from recess with wet clothes.
·         Please continue to help your child become independent with putting on and taking off winter gear.
 
Homework
·         Each night have your child read 1 good fit book to his/her “homework helper” and please practice your sight words and phrases as well.
·         Please look around your house for overdue library books and home reading books.
 
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to call me at school, send a note in your child’s communication bag, or send an e-mail.
