Weekly Notes

Our printing and letter study continues this week with the letter "u".

This month's virtue at Thorncliffe School is "caring". Throughout the month we will discussing ways to show we care about one another at school and at home.

This Friday February 7th is AM kindergarten. Another reminder that Wednesday February 5th is class photo day. Students will be expected to wear formal uniforms on this day.

We are excited to welcome our Literacy strategist, Stephanie Pratt, into our classrooms this week to collaborate with us. Teachers have been working with the literacy team to incorporate "close" reading into our practice. Close reading is the technique of using short passages to reinforce key concepts of text. We chose the book "Animal Homes" to support our inquiry into habitats of local animals. 

In Math we are continuing to use tens frames to match up numbers that add up to ten.
