June greetings!  It’s hard to believe we are starting our last month at school.  Last week included a great trip to Sobey’s.  Thanks again to all the parents. I know the children enjoyed themselves and learned lots too! We are continuing to look at a map of our community and to learn how to read a legend on a map.  These skills are also part of our math studies and we will be taking a close look at math related mapping skills (measurement and grids).  We will also be revisiting the number sense strand (place value, word problems, and addition and subtraction).

In language, the children are working on group plays.  Last week we started the play “Le petit chat cherche une famille”.  The children will be making simple costumes and presenting their plays to their peers.  We will start a new play each week, as time permits.  I find this a great way to consolidate many reading and writing skills and to keep the children focused and motivated during the last month of school.  Our other major writing theme this month will be the completion of our year long memory books.  The children have enjoyed adding art, writing, and photos to their memory books.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns with regard to your child’s progress, please contact me.

Note that Friday, June 5th is a P.A. day and there is no school for the children.

Have a great week everyone. Orma
