We have had a very busy week with the start of our Three Left Feet dance residency. Alara, our dance instructor, has led us in three sessions. We have now learned the entire choreography for our show next week. We hope that many of you will be able to come to the performance next Thursday, September 25th from 10 - 10:45am.

In Literacy, we have now learned all of the vowels and the two sounds each vowel makes. Each day, we print a letter in our printing notebooks and list many words beginning with this letter/sound. Letter and word games are played during the week to practice and reinforce our learning.

In Math, we are also focusing on practicing the proper formation of the numbers and have worked with numbers 0 - 5 so far. We are also reviewing /learning how to represent numbers using tally marks, ten frames, dice, and numerals.

The students really enjoyed being able to share the special items in their All About Me Bags with their classmates. Thank you for helping your child select items for this activity. We practiced asking the presenters questions about their objects as well as sharing comments.

We have had Gym classes outside this week. Mr van Sluys taught the children some games that can be played on the compound surrounding the playground. They learned hopscotch and some ball games. We will be outside again next week.

Please remember to have your child return their library book on Monday each week as we exchange our books on Tuesday. Mrs. McLean, our librarian, appreciates having time to check the books into the library's system prior to our exchange.
