Word of the day: gullible (Ask your child to tell you the story of the unfortunate dog ...)

First grade students should keep practising counting - to 20 (frontward and backward) and to 100 (by 1's, 5's, and 10's). We also introduced the letter form of the numbers from eleven to twenty, inclusive. The excitement never ends!

We've been practising mapping skills in social studies. You can pull out a map if you like and get your child to identify the directions ( north, south, east, west, north-east, south-east, north-west, and south-west). See if your child can tell you the memory trick we use to tell west from east.

Thanks to those who've returned their photo orders and payment. (We've been asked to ensure that payment accompanies the orders before we submit the orders.)

Thanks as well to those who've returned their contact information for Ana Lea, our class's key communicator.

Remember that there is no school for students this Friday.
