Homework

Please check your child's backpack for their spelling list for the week. We also sent home their spelling review from last week. We have seen a lot of improvement from many of our students! Mr. Simmon's and I were very impressed to see that many children tried to sound out unfamiliar words phonetically. Keep up the hard work!

Bits & Pieces

FIELD TRIP THIS WEDNESDAY THE 9TH! We will be going on our field trip to see 'Thrice Upon a Time' at Y Stage in the morning on Wednesday. We will leave by bus at 9:00 am and return to school by approximately 12:00 pm. Please make sure that all students bring a lunch to school this day. We will be eating lunch when we return to school. There will no time for snack in the morning, so please make sure your child has a big breakfast! If you are volunteering please arrive at school with your child that morning (8:42 am).

VALENTINE'S DAY

On February 14th, should your child wish to bring Valentine Cards they are welcome to do so, but please do not feel that you need to send cards. We will be sending a list of first names home this week. Students will have time in the afternoon on Valentine's Day to hand out their cards.
** Because our virtue of the month is Friendliness, a suggestion would be to have your child write 'friendship' notes to their classmates as Valentines. **

MATH

Do you know it, can you show it? In math today, the students had the opportunity to show us what they know about addition through various forms of representation. The children chose to show number sentences through numerals, pictures, ten frames, word problems etc. Ask your child how they chose to show what they know!
