Our Twelfth Post -- January 31, 2009

It was another fantastic week! It was Family Literacy Week, and the children were involved in many different Family Literacy activities. On Tuesday, the A Class students were divided into groups with other children in the school, and they rotated to three different literacy activities. More information about these activities are available on the Ancaster Meadow Website. On Wednesday and Thursday, parent volunteers, teacher volunteers (thanks Mrs. Ryan and Mrs. Thorne), student volunteers, and administrators (thanks Mr. Clemens and Ms. Laporte) came into our class as guest readers for our special Story and Story Bit Activity. These wonderful volunteers also helped the class retell Mortimer: one of our favourite Robert Munsch books. Check out the Photographs link on the Kindergarten Website for some photographs of the Kindergarten Literacy Events.



We also completed our eighth round of literacy and math centres this week, and photographs and guiding questions about these centres are available for you to see under the Photographs link on the Kindergarten Website.



This week was also a sad week because it was Courtney Pirie`s last day on Friday. The children said a special goodbye to her on Friday. Thank you, Miss Pirie, for everything that you`ve done!



Have a great weekend, and we look forward to another exciting week next week!
