Here are few things happening this week: *For homework again this week, your child will be practicing to print his/her name each night.  They will also get a new paper book.  This helps them to recognize the sight word(s) that we are learning.  Please remember to read and log each night.   *In Literacy this week we will be learning about rhyming.  Down by the Bay is a great song to sing along to and to create new rhymes.   *In Math we are working on sorting using a single attribute, such as, color, shape or size.  We are also learning about patterns.   *On Monday, September 16th, from 6:00-7:00, we will be hosting our Open House.  This will take place in the cafeteria and it gives the opportunity for parents to meet the staff and join the Home & School and/or PSSC.  Hope to see you there.   *On Friday, September 20th, we will be going for our Terry Fox walk.  We will be walking from the school, down to the Rodd hotel, and back again.  Any monetary donations for this cause are greatly appreciated and can be sent in any time this week.   *A sneak peek into next week: Our Grandparents Day Celebration will be held on Tuesday, September 24th at 9:15 am and will be held in the gym.  This is for grandparents of children in grades K-3.  School pictures will be on Wednesday, September 25th.
