Keep practicing word sorts and spelling words at home! This week's Spelling Tests will be on Thursday.
We are learning all about how to read and identify 'bumper words', which are words where the e is silent at the end. The 'silent' or 'sneaky' e reaches over one letter, and 'bumps' the vowel on its head to make the vowel say its name. Examples include game, here, bone, nine, and tune.We are also learning about compound words (rainbow, cupcake, butterfly). While reading with your child, keep your eyes open for these two new types of words!
We continue to work on Mental Math (addition and subtraction) strategies in Math and will begin our Measurement unit soon.
In Science we continue to work on Building Things, and in Social we will begin to learn all about the community of Leduc.
On Tuesday the ATB bank will be open at lunch!
On Wednesday morning we will head to the LRC for our 2nd swimming lesson. Please remember to send swimsuits, towels, goggles, etc. in a separate bag from their backpacks. A plastic grocery bag works just fine if your child does not have a swim bag.
On Wednesday, students are encouraged to wear their OILERS gear (or Oilers colours) to celebrate Game 1 of the PLAYOFFS Wednesday night!
Wednesday also happens to be our community event for the month: a family movie night at the school. More information to follow!
On Thursday it is Pizza by the Slice lunch.
No School Friday, April 14th; Monday, April 17th; Tuesday, April 18th. Enjoy the Easter Long Weekend!
