Literacy and Numeracy
In Math, we will continue working on number sense, especially breaking apart numbers into two parts; exploring teen numbers and focus on 3D objects, which we didn't get done in April. As well, we will review concepts taught to date and deepen our understanding.
Looking forward to a great month!
Thank you for all your home support!
Look for the wonder in your children!
Thank you for reading at home!

Transitions for Grade One...
In order to help the transition to Grade One we will be making some small changes to our daily schedule.
- Beginning May 12th we will be staying outside before school starts. This is a good time to start practicing more independence by dropping your child off and having them walk the sidewalk down to the B den playground. Start slow, if you need to, and walk your child down the first few times and then work on letting them do it by themselves. Students shouldn't be going inside the school unless it is raining. Mrs. Maris or myself will be outside for supervision, along with the normal morning supervisors. Please note, that morning supervision does not start until 8:20. Students keep their backpacks outside and pick them up on the way inside when the bell rings.
- As well, for morning recess, we will be heading outside with the older students. We will have a snack about 10:05 and then head outside for recess from 10:25 – 10:37. This will get the students used to being outside with other classes, help them learn how to line up to come in to the school and how to deal with different situations that do arise on the playground. We will be going out with the students during this time to supervise.
- Please be sure your child is dressed appropriately for the weather!!
- Thank you for your support in growing independent students!
