This week, Kindergarten concluded their Recycling unit by going on a field trip to the Recycling Depot! A few weeks ago, the children got the opportunity to see how recycling collection works, by having a recycling truck visit the school! Then, yesterday, they were able to see where all their recyclables get taken and sorted. The kids were excited to hear what their different recyclables could get turned into and pledged to create less waste!

We thank you, in advance, for your support!
- “My Read Well” book– Please review the letter of the week and use the “Parent Prompt” questions (found on the bottom of the page) with your child.
- If you notice that your child has not finished the back of their Letter Record page in class, please brainstorm with them three words that begin with that letter. Then, have them write down the three words on the dotted lines and draw their corresponding pictures in the blank box.

This is the Grade 7 fundraiser that will be taking place on Friday, June 17th to raise money for Ukrainian refugees. Order forms are due on Wednesday, May 25th and your child will receive their orders on the day of the fundraiser. Please see the attachment below for more information.

- Toys – Just a friendly reminder that unless it is your child’s show and tell, please be sure to keep toys at home, so that they don’t get lost or broken at school.
