Good morning boys and girls,

I hope you all enjoyed some time outside this past week & weekend -hiking to waterfalls like Brodie or camping like Wesley in his new trailer.  Did you know you can even camp in your backyard like Thomas in his new tent! I really enjoy our weekly chats as I learn how much you are growing like Jackson & his puppy! A few of you have even been losing teeth since I last saw you like Walker & Raelynn.  Last week some of you started back to a sitters or daycare & are now able to see some of your friends like Emmett & Walker. Brooke got to celebrate her 6th Birthday on Saturday & see Ellie! Happy Birthday from all your classmates Brooke!!

Many of you might be enjoying some summer treats like Ava & Ivy who were getting ready to have some ice cream-yummy. This week's grid will have some activities that involve Smores- a favorite campfire treat. I love that many of you are getting outside now that the weather is nice -Olivia has been practicing her basketball skills & enjoying some disney movies. Michael & Christian enjoy cruising on their bikes & Karson even knows how to drive without his training wheels now! Kamryn is enjoying outside sprinklers -watch out! Weston is a pro fisherman & Aethon is just learning how to fish- Fishing sure is a great activity especially on our beautiful river- I even tried a piece of stripped bass my son caught. Some of you are exploring online resources like Carter on Dreambox & Myles on Raz Kids. I love to hear all about your new adventures or your favorite activities during our weekly chats.

Sight words for this week List 15: your; all; away; back. Don't forget this week is the start of the Virtual Olympics for our Anglophone North school district- have fun competing & being active. 

Take care,

Mrs. Cameron

Good morning boys and girls,

I hope you all had a chance to celebrate your special moms/grandmothers yesterday!

This week for our sight words lets look at List 13 words “day, down, into, looking”.  These words can be added to your campfire notebooks. There are some ways to practice your site words on the sight word choice board- posted earlier. Stay tuned for a photo gallery of fun ways & ideas to learn your sight words. Hopefully you are enjoying Raz Kids reading site- just a reminder that you can listen to the stories by clicking the headphones or read the book yourself by clicking the book icon.

On the grid this week there is a “Shape tap” game to play as you review 2D shapes (circle, square, rectangle,             triangle, rhombus)

  Before school switched to Home Learning we introduced 3D shapes by sorting them. Keep in mind- Kindergartens can name 2D shapes but we are not expected to know the 3D shape names. For example: “A cube” would be refer to “like a box”;  "A cylinder” would be “like a can”; "A sphere” would be “like a ball”.

Have fun with your activities on the grid this week.  I look forward to chatting with you all this week.

Miss you,

Mrs. Cameron
