TERRY FOX WALK: TOONIES FOR TERRY

Last Friday, September 25th, 2020, Mrs. Terry (the school secretary) sent an email regarding the TERRY FOX FUNDRAISER.  We are asking the children to send in a TOONIE to help raise funds for the Terry Fox Foundation for cancer research.  If you would like to donate online, you may also do so at: 


Thank you for your support for this wonderful cause. 

I have noted great improvement in the children writing their names! This is wonderful.  To continue seeing improvement, please have your child practice writing his/her name in lower case letters EVERY DAY.  Please focus on correct letter formation (make letters from TOP to BOTTOM etc.).  

REMINDER FOR TUMBLEBOOKS:

There is a great website that your children have free access to as Riverside students.  Tumblebooks has a wide assortment of animated books in English and French (and Spanish!) that are read aloud.  We listen to stories from this website everyday during snack time.

Next week, I will begin sending home our Alphabet Letter Sounds yellow duo-tang for homework.  I will NOT be teaching the letter sounds in alphabetical order.  The blue songs and poems duo-tang will be sent home every Monday and must be returned the following Monday.
