Thanksgiving! A Canadian Celebration

"When you give to others, you will get something back in return!" - Kids of Room 137

October 8th 2012  

In class we talked about what Thanksgiving is. As Canadians we need to remember and be thankful for all that we have. We also need to share our thankfulness with each other. We should all be thankful for our families, friends, food, education, animals, home...the world and the list can go on and on.

In celebration we made Turkey's to remember feast/harvest time.
We also made "I am thankful books" - your child should of brought them home this weekend.

Happy Thanksgiving

Dear Families,
Have a great long weekend!

Your child did their first Spelling Test on Friday! I am sending it home to be signed and to be brought back. Please assist your child with learning these 5 words: an, man, can, ran, fan. 

Please remember your child needs to read 10 minutes a day - this will help with their reading comprehension and phonic skills of sounding letters out. Please enforce good reading habits by:

1. Looking at the pictures
2. Sounding the words out
3. Reading the letters in the word

Have a safe and happy long weekend.
Please ask your child about the words respect and being honest -  We talked about why we celebrate Thanksgiving! We need to be thankful for lots of things. Please ask your child what they are thankful for!

Take Care and see you on Tuesday!

Miss Mohammed


 

Sounds of Letters - easy steps to help your child learn to read!

Dear Parents and Students of Room 135,

I hope everyone has a relaxing and fun weekend!

Here are some videos to help your child learn, what sounds do letters make. The first step is leaning how to make those sounds with our mouth. Once we learn this it is the stepping stone to learning how to read words. When we know what an 'A' sounds like we can hear it in the A in "APPLE" - aaaaaaaple.

Please view these videos and share them with your child! It's quite fun!

Here is a great video you can play for your child and they can follow along!

We will be singing this song in class as well!

Have a great weekend!

Love,
Miss Mohammed
