Letter  Ee     We worked on Letter  Ee  this week!   Ask your child what sound the letter E makes, and if they can come up with any words that begin with  Ee .   *The Starfall app is a great way to practice letters and sounds*   Pink Shirt Day     On Pink Shirt Day we talked about Kindness.  We read the book  Our Class is a Family  by Shannon Olsen and discussed how we can show kindness in our classroom.  The pink hearts with our Kindness words were sent home on Wednesday.     Math     In Math, we extended our learning about more a less this week. We had the students choose a number and then  have them figure out what number  is 1 more or 1 less than their chosen number.  For example, if they chose the number 6, they would hopefully pick five as 1 less and 7 as one more.     Hand sanitizer reminder-no scents     A friendly reminder, that if you are sending your child with their own personal hand sanitizer, that we do request that it be unscented.    Student Led Conferences More informa

  February 12     Lunar New Year     We recognized the Lunar New Year by drawing an Ox.  Participating in step-by-step drawings is a great opportunity to practice patience, following directions, and work on fine motor skills.       Art     The students made heart-shaped  Sun Catchers for Valentine's Day.  They were excited to bring them home to show you.       Senses     Valentine's Day was a great opportunity to connect the 5 Senses.  After discussing ideas as a class of when we see, hear, taste, smell, and feel love - students created their own Valentine senses sentence in their journal.  Ask your child what they wrote about.     Upcoming Dates:     February 15 Family Day Holiday   February 26 Pink Shirt Day   February 19 –AM Kinders attend   February 26- PM Kinders attend   March 5 –AM Kinders attend     Have a wonderful long weekend!     Michelle Romanko and Julie  Kawchuk
