Can you believe we are facing our last day in Grade One?

Are you as impressed as I am with how far your child has come? Watch out Grade Two!

Tomorrow afternoon we will swim at the pool. When we get back to class, we will have a brief leaving ceremony. You are more than welcome to attend the ceremony.

For those of you who ordered the photo books, I will probably have to deliver them to you. Of course they might arrive today, but if they don't, I'll be knocking on your door as soon as they arrive.

You child will be bringing home a Word Wall sheet and a few pages of interlined paper. These should give you something to work with when it comes to writing. On rainy days, consider playing board, card, or dice games that will help you child to keep up with number facts. And of course, remember to cuddle with a story every day. You child can read, but it's also OK to read books that are too hard for your child to read. Talk about what you do and what you read.

I'll see you all in September. The first few days the children will be with this year's teacher, so we can start right where we left off.
