Happy Friday!

Well we are another week closer to the graduation performance and everyone is very busy with rehearsals. The kids are all very excited. They are working extrememly hard and memorizing all of their lines. Despite the performance, we still managed to get down to our school work this week.

July 1st was Canada Day so I was able to share a bit of my heritage with my students. We talked about some of the Canadian traditions that take place on this day and we learned about "independence." We read an article together in class and then worked on a word search.

This week in math class we continued to work on solving word problems. This is a very important skill for the children as it combines reading and mathematical reasoning.

The teachers are all very busy building the set for the school production and putting the props together. We are enjoying watching the kids rehearse; they make adorable jungle animals. It is always a joy to watch them sing and dance and enjoy themselves.

Monthly evaluations are going home this weekend so please take a look at them and feel free to adress any problems or concerns.

Have a lovely weekend and I look forward to seeing everyone back here on Monday!
