Short Week!

Kindergarten enjoyed their trip to the fire station as part of fire safety week. Remember to keep safe every week, not jus on fire safety week!

I hope everyone enjoyed their long Thanksgiving break. This is a very short week, so there will be no spelling words this week. However, we will still have a short homework duotang, as we still have sight words and sounds to practice. Please still return the homework duotang on Friday.

Grade one sight words: this, if, him, big, did

Read a book each night.

Kindergarten sight words: at, that

Practice sounds every night.

Fire Safety Week

This week is fire safety week. Please check your smoke detector batteries, and practice an escape plan at home. We will continue to practice fire drills at school as well, and on Tuesday afternoon the kindergarten children will be visiting the fire station.

Elementary Drama will be on Wednesday at 3pm. All in K-5 are welcome to come and try it out.

Yearbook orders are due this week. They only cost $25 this year, so please try to order one.

Remember that next week there is no school on Monday (Thanksgiving) or on Tuesday and Wednesday (teacher meetins), so you have a nice long Thanksgiving weekend, especially if you plan to do any travelling. Enjoy!

*Finish homework duotang and game by Friday.
*Kindergarten: practice sounds every night, and tricky words (mom, dad).
