Weekly update

Hi everyone! I hope everyone had a pleasant weekend after the storm of Thursday and Friday. This week will be busy and packed with lots of learning experiences.

First, on Monday morning all Killam students will be seeing a presentation on bullying. As you all know, this is a hot topic and our students need to be made aware of the clear differences between annoying behavior and bullying. They also need to know when they are witnessing this behavior and when to come forward. It is a serious issue and there many concerns that face students each day. Ask your child about the presentation and what they learned.

Tuesday will be our field trip to Reading Center. We will be visiting the fire and police stations, as well as the town hall and post office. Don't forget the bagged peanut free lunch and drink. Parents who are chaperoning need to be at school by 8:30.

The rest of the week we will be involved in writing thank you notes and finishing up community projects. I will put together a photostory of our projects and display it here next week. Here is a sneak peak;





Please keep up the great work helping your children with FACT POWER. They are getting better everyday. Finally, second grade reading assessments should be completed this week. Your children are reading daily as part of the DAILY CAFE. Ask your child about their reading strategies when listening to them read. I will be sending home a parent pipeline to explain reading strategies as needed.

Have a fabulous week!
