​Hi Everyone!

Wow! It sure has been cold this week. I think we are all getting a little cabin fever with all of the indoor recesses we have had. Whew! Remember that we go outside at temperatures below -20​ so make sure to dress your child in layers that they can add for outside and take off inside if they warm up.

In writing, we started talking about How To (procedural writing). We will be continuing with this track and doing some How To writing ourselves (How to build a snowman, how to make a sandwich, etc).

Our new Word Wall words next week are just, then, them, went and who. The Kindergarten students are beginning to figure out how to read books. Yay! It's amazing how far they have come.

Please read with your child every night. This can be them reading, you reading or both of you. Please also send books back to school on Friday so that they can replace their books on Monday to go home again. Thank you for taking this valuable time with your child.

In math, we are working on skip counting by 2s, 5s and 10s for those in grade 1 and in Kindergarten we are doing so well with numbers to 10 that I thought I would stretch their thinking to numbers to 20! Woohoo! Great work everyone.

A math website we visited this week was this,

Unfortunately, this does not work on the tablet without buying the subscription. On a computer it is free.

Have a great week all!
