I can't believe we are already to the end of January. Where has the time gone?
Congratulations to everyone in kindergarten who did their speech in the last two days. Every boy and girl got up in front of the class, wore the microphone, and did their speech (some with more prompting than others!). Well done!
The six semi-finalists in kindergarten who will say their speeches on the stage Monday morning at 9am are, in no particular order:
*Carter Urquhart
*Cohen Fitzsimmons
*Henry Brown
*Jillian Jones
*Lance Brown
*Mya McLaughlin
On Monday, the judges will select three of these children to go on to the finals on Wednesday night at 6pm.
Reminders for Friday:
*wear a "bee" costume (or at least black and yellow)
*assembly at 9am
*Mrs. Banks' last day (and we welcome Mrs. Stackhouse as our new kindergarten support worker)
*The Bee Movie playing at 7pm in the great hall.

Homework for Kindergarten:
*Practice tricky words: they, there, can
*Finish homework duotang and game by Friday
*Read at least one book every night. The library has lots of new levelled books if you are looking for extra books for your child to read at night. So far, most children have read around 25 books. Three children have read 1oo books already. Way to go!

Happy New Year!
Welcome back to school. It was nice to see everyone back and healthy! I hope we can stay that way.
Please remember to send your child dressed appropriately for playing outside. Even with the milder temperatures this week, there is still a lot of snow on the playground, so ski-pants, boots, mitts and hats are needed.
Book orders went home today with our homeroom, and are due back on January 16th.
Homework for Kindergarten:
*We are all finished the Jolly Phonics Sounds, but please continue to review them each night (I put the little sounds books in with the reading bags).
*Read a book every night and write it in your reading log. Once a week you will have a reading response to do as well.
*In the reading bags, you will see "Word Box" bags coming home starting this week or next. Your child simply has to sound out/read these words to you, and then put them back in the bag and return to school the next day for the next child to take home. There are 18 bags all together.
*Finish red homework duotang and game by Friday. You'll notice that we know have 3 tricky words each week (I forgot to put the word "as" in with the homework, so I will add it as they come back).
*Practice the tricky words and sight words every night, until you can read them quickly.
*In math, we are starting a unit on geometry, and will be learning about 3-D and 2-D shapes.
Elementary Drama:
*This week will be the last regular "Drama Club". We will play some games and test out our voices on the stage. Starting next Wednesday, we will be working on our play for the Drama Festival in May, which only has a cast of about 16. Thank you to everyone who has been coming to Drama Club. If you don't get a part in the play this year, please come back again next fall.
