The item will be returned to your child at the end of the day.  If you cannot find an item, you can have your child draw a picture and write the corresponding word or print a picture from the internet.

Number of the Week:

Important Information:

This week, we will begin using the LOCKERS in the hallway to store the children's belongings. It is very important that your child's belongings are labelled as we share the hallway with many other students (5 other classes). Your child will now begin changing into his/her indoor shoes that I collected at the beginning of the year.

HALLOWEEN CELEBRATION:

On Friday, October 30th,  2020, we will celebrate Halloween in my class.  We will do some special Halloween activities.  I encourage you to send your child to school with a costume if you'd like.  Here are some important points to remember for this day:
  • no violent or scary costumes
  • no masks
  • no weapons (even plastic)
  • treats for the classdue to Covid-19, unfortunately we are NOT permitted to give treats to the children or send them home (candy, loot bags, rings, erasers etc.) 
HOMEWORK:

Please continue to have your children PRACTICE dressing him/herself (zipping his/her jacket, fastening buttons and snaps, putting on his/her hat, neck warmer, gloves and mitts).  The children need some practice in this area as we are having to assist most children with zipping their jackets. 



Please keep the Alphabet Letter Sounds yellow homework duo-tang at home.  Please refer to the first page in the yellow duo-tang for a detailed explanation of the homework. 

The blue songs and poems duo-tang will be sent home every Monday and must be returned the following Monday. Throughout the week, please have your child practice singing the weekly songs/poems and complete the activity at the bottom of the page (if there is one) in the blue duo-tang. Please refer to the introduction letter for a more detailed explanation.

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.).  

I have posted this week's pictures of the children on the website.
