Dear Parents,

It’s a new year and I hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas break. This week we start right away with skating on Tuesday, January 7, 2014, at 9:45. Don’t forget to send student’s skates and helmets every Tuesday for the month of January. 

As the first week begins we are back following the same procedures as from the beginning of the year. We again are working on our Words Their Way program. I have sent home with students this weeks words and a reminder of the Words Their Way activities and some of the games we play. If you could assist your students, by reviewing the activities with them, it would be greatly
appreciated.

We continue with our Daily Language Review activities and our weekly home reading program. Booklets will again be sent home with students. It is expected that students read the booklets, sharing some of the story with parents, complete the comprehension questions, and return the material by the end of the week.

In science we are beginning a new unit on Sound, and we continue our exploration of our countries of study in Social. This week we will look at the weather and compare what is happening there as compare to here in Rocky.

A new segment of choir is beginning. Mrs. Davies will be preparing for our chance to sing
with the Red Deer Symphony on Monday, March 17. Students will need to make a commitment for the entire time as we will be performing with the Red Deer Symphony as part of Choir Kids on March 17.  We will travel to Red Deer for the afternoon and evening and be part of a concert with several other children’s choirs and members of the symphony.  It is a great musical opportunity.  New choir members are welcome so please discuss this with your child and see if they are interested and willing to be committed to the team.

Thank you,
 Mr. Foote
