May already!

Well I cant believe we are in the month of May. I am not ready to send these little ones off to grade 2 in just two months. I am however ready for summer breezes and resting on the beach next to the ocean! But that can wait.

We are finishing up our farm animals unit and will be moving onto plants and animals. The students will be starting to learn more complex French sounds and review past sounds. We will continue to work on our French stories. We will focus on correct punctuation, does the sentence make sense and have we tried to include beginning, middle and end in our stories.

Today was also the first day of Ice cream reading challenge. The reading packages will come home tomorrow, but anytime you read you can fill in a square for your child. A lot of the students have already earned their bowl and spoon. If you child has not earned the bowl or spoon yet please help them practice their English sight words and French sentences at home. There is a chart on the wall and they love putting the stickers up to show they have succeeded.

I hope to finish up the Shapes unit in math this week and move onto measurement. Both of these units are quick. We then will get back to our favorite friends addition and subtraction up to 20. You can help them out by practicing at home.

We are off to 4 cats art studio tomorrow. we will be painting soo keep that in mind for tomorrows outfit. On Monday the 9th we have constable Hartman coming in to chat with the students.
He will be giving them strategies on how to solve their problems and how to calm themselves when they are feeling stressed or anxious.

Wednesday is Hats on Day at Holy Name. Students can wear their hats by donating $2.00 to the mental health foundation. Wednesday is also library day and special lunch.
I think that is all for this week.
