Kindergarten News October 20-24

This week we welcome back Ms. Eagles, a student teacher from UPEI.  She will be working in our classroom until December 18th.  This week we are talking about the letters “Cc” and “Kk”.  We  will be talking about the words: we, at, an, am.
Last week your child participated in a Phonological awareness assessment with me.   I will be sending out a summery of the assessment.  Theses skills can be worked on at home.  An explanation and example of these skills can be found in the orange homework folder on the purple page.  Phonological skills are an important step in the road to reading.
The weather has changed, please send a warm coat, hat and mittens each day.  Splash pants are a great idea to break the wind.
Have a great week!
