Thank you to Avery and Lowyn's family for washing our dress up clothes this weekend!

This week I worked one-on-one with the children on extending basic patterns.  This means that I began a pattern and then asked each child to continue (extend) it.  We used dinosaur manipulatives, building patterns based on the colours of the dinosaurs.  We started with an AB pattern (two colours were used) and then tried an ABC pattern (three colours were used).  

The children did a great job and really enjoyed extending the patterns - many kiddos came back to see me a second time to complete the task again!  

 
Dear Families,

I trust you have all had a lovely winter break!  I hope the children are excited about coming to school tomorrow - as I am excited to see them!  

Just a reminder that Nathan is our special helper in the morning, and there will be no special helper for the afternoon class.  January's calendar and book order forms are in the mailboxes - so please remember to take them home.
