Valentine's Day
We will celebrate Valentine's Day on Wednesday, February 13. If your child would like to bring valentines to hand out to the class please note the following:
1) Bring one valentine for each child in the class. Our largest class has 21 children.
2) Students are encouraged to only sign their name. Cards may be addressed "To my friend". Please DO NOT address cards to individual students. You can imagine how busy each teacher would be if they were handing out 21 valentines from each child.

Letter Learning /y/
Letter /Y/ makes the sound "y" as in yellow, yo-yo and yak.
To write the uppercase letter /Y/ start at the top and draw a line diagonal down. Go back up to the top and draw another diagonal line down meeting up with the first line in the middle.
To write the lowercase letter /y/ follow the same steps as the uppercase but begin at the middle of your line.
Last Week:
Our new dramatic play centre has been opened in our classroom. This building centre allows students to explore designing, building and testing various creations. We observed students create anything from castles to roller coasters! This centre also allowed students to practice their communication skills, as they work together as a team to build their ideas!
Students scientifically studied snowflakes by observing pictures and non-fiction text. Then, using loose parts, students were invited to create a snowflake during centre time.
Our number line continues to be a popular centre, as students practice number recognition and sequencing.
