Another
exciting week in the Pre-K class has passed.
Last Friday we had a great time making our apple prints and taste
testing different kinds of apples. This
week was awareness week and we did many activities surrounding the issues of
bullying. Over the past few weeks we
have been working with our grade 3 buddies to complete anti-bullying
posters. They are now on display in the
library and next week will be downstairs on the bulletin board. Please go take a look when you have the
chance. Today during the awareness week assembly
we sang two songs about bullying. I was
so proud that the Pre-K’s were able to stand up in front of the entire school
and sing!!!!!!
Thank you to everyone that
dressed your child in blue last Wednesday.
Please remember to read the weekly newsletter from the school and check
this blog often.

Tips
How can I help my child?
As a parent, you are your child's first and most
important teacher. When you help your child learn to read, you are opening the
door to a world of books and learning.
With the help of parents, children can learn how
to read and can practice reading until they can read for their own enjoyment.
Then they will have a whole world of information and knowledge at
their fingertips!
·
gather information and
learn about the world
·
learn how stories and
books work – that they have beginnings, endings, characters, and themes
·
build a rich vocabulary
by reading and talking about new words
·
learn how to listen and
how to think
·
learn the sounds of
language and language patterns
·
fall in love with books
It's natural to want to compare your child's
reading abilities with those of other children of the same age, but not all
children develop reading skills at the same pace. What's important is that you
are aware of your child's reading level so that you can choose books and
activities that will help him or her improve.
