November 29, 2018

Hi families,

Thank you so much for attending conferences! It was a pleasure meeting with you. If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to ask. 


Merry Fitness
For the month of December we will be exploring healthy habits (ex: exercise, food, choices etc.) We would love it if you could email, tweet or send in a picture of your child/family engaging in healthy habits (ex: hockey, dance class, dog walking, food prep etc.) Students will share these pictures and we will create a class display to document our inquiry. 
Check us out on Twitter: @playfulkinders 

Literacy
This week we learned about the letters H, I, J and K. Each day students shared items brought from home that match the letter of the day. Students learned the sounds of the letters and practiced printing the letter (upper and lowercase). We ask that your child bring a matching item for the letter of the day. A new letter will not be covered on Fridays and the letters will go in order.

    • Monday, December 3 - L
    • Tuesday, December 4 - M
    • Wednesday, December 5 - N
    • Thursday, December 6 - O
