Dear Families,

Power Words for this Week:

-get
-made

Please ask your child what words rhyme with "may/play" and "get."  We realized today, if we can read and spell "get," we can read and spell 10 more new words!!!

Home Reading:Yay!!! (Yay rhymes with may ;)

On Friday, students will be coming home with Home Reading books and instructions.  Students are encouraged to continue using RazKids as well.

Calgary Zoo Field Trip:

We are maxed out for volunteers.  Thank you to everyone who expressed interest in volunteering!  This field trip will be helping us kick-off our "Needs of Plants and Animals" unit for Science.  We will also be writing both fiction and non-fiction about the animals we visit.

Walking Field Trip: (Photos to Come)

Today, both 1C and 1D (Bakkan/Brar) went on a short walking field trip around the school grounds to observe shapes in our community. Students were surprised to see shapes everywhere.

Thank you for standing back and allowing the teachers to hand the students off to their designated pick-up person at the end of the day. We appreciate the support.

Enjoy the Spring weather this evening!

Ms. Bakkan
