Important Information
A huge thank you to all families for your wonderful contributions to help make our Cultural Traditions brunch such a roaring success! It was so wonderful to learn about all of the members of our classroom community in such a fun and authentic way!
-Please return form for field trip to The Atria Retirement Residence next Tuesday February 13.
-we will be doing a class valentine exchange next Wednesday February 14 in the morning. Students are not required to bring Valentines but if they choose to exchange please make sure that they bring 19 for each member of our class and do not address them to individual students. Instead, they can write "To my friend" or "To my classmate" or leave the name section blank.
Words of the week are:
sing, bring, going, sang, sung, long, song, length
This week we are discussing the sound made by ng in words. What happens to ng when we add a vowel in front of it? Please practice these words a little each day. It is most important that they can be recognized by sight to read them. Once your child can read them please practice spelling them. Please continue to review the ng letter pattern videos under word work on the blog.
Today we:
-enjoyed tasting each others food traditions at our brunch! Thanks to all families who were able to come and join us and to those who sent in wonderful food!
