Hello everyone.  We are all set for another exciting week at school.  Take a look at the pictures that we posted of our Middle Island clean-up.  Everyone did a wonderful job and we all had fun.  Thank you to all the volunteers that came out to help.   *  We will continue to review different sounds this week.  There is no more homework except for reading.  It is very important to read each night.  This will help with fluency and expression.  Remember to look over your sight words as well.   *  A notice will be going out on Monday about our end-of-the-year field trip.  We think all the kids will be really excited about it so don't forget to look in your child's book buddy bag for all the information.   *  The penny drive continues this week to help raise money for the the Roots of Empathy program.   *  June book orders will also be going out this week.  This will be the last one of the school year and it will also have a short return date to ensure the books are back in time for students to get them before they go home for the summer.  This will be a great time to get some books for your child so he/she can read lots over the summer.     Have a great week!!

  This week we will be learning about the 'ai' and 'ay' sounds and the both have the same /ay/ sound.  Some 'ai' words are aim, aid, rain, wait, rail, sail, jail, and pail.  Some 'ay' words are way, may, play, day, hay, today, weekday, and essay.  Show and Tell  will be on Friday after recess.  Bring something in that has either 'ai' or 'ay' in it.  An example is a train.     Remember to do your reading every night.  This will help you with your fluency and expression.

  Congratulations to Mrs. Schofield who won a Branch Award of Excellence at our Annual General Meeting on May 5, 2011.  An award well deserved.
