Ski letter (white)

Our latest poem is Knit! This poem doesnt have the final word in each sentence so your child must
read the pictures. This is one of the reading strategies we teach in primary. It helps students look for
clues as they start to read actual books.
On Wednesday some players from the Dynamiters came to play floor hockey with each of our classes
during our gym time. They helped some kindergartens get their snow gear on for recess, they read with
students during Buddy Reading and three of them even stayed for school Aerobics before lunch. The
kids really enjoyed having them around!
We covered the letters R and G this week in Sound Connections. As I mentioned in my e-mail earlier
this week, they have been making good progress with the sounds we have learned up until this point.
We made a wall mural of a winter scene that includes fireworks, penguins and snowmen. Check it out on
our hallway bulletin board.
Our school is participating in the BC Green Games once again this year. This year our staff has decided
to focus on solar energy. Each grade level group will do a project together. Our classes will have an
exhibition of our findings during the POPS Night later this month. Ask your child what they know and
what they wonder about solar energy.
