This week in spelling we are learning words that have the "dr" blend.  The new words are being sent home today in the green homework folder.  The students have learned that "Dee Dee Deer" and "Robbie Rabbit" come together to make the "dr" sound.  Remind your child to show you the actions while spelling out the words!   Our test will be on Thursday this week as there is no school Friday due to Parent Teacher interviews and teacher PD.  Thursday will also be "Santa or Elf Hat" day at Harkins.  For just one item for the food bank or a loonie the students can wear one of these hats as we celebrate the upcoming Christmas season. A reminder to parents that the books your children bring home should  be read EACH evening.  This will build their confidence and help improve their fluency.
