Forms
Swimming Forms must be returned Tomorrow - Thursday, January 9th.  The pool MUST have them so they can create student groupings.  Please return the form, even if you are unable to send the money right away.  $15 is being asked from each student to cover a portion of the cost of lessons and transportation for the week.  If you are unable to pay the $15 fee, please contact Mrs. Traquair directly to talk about payment options. Thank you to those who have already returned these forms.

Have You Seen Birds?
Today we read Have You Seen Birds? Written by Joanne Oppenheim. Like many of nature’s wonders, birds are often taken for granted. But the birds we read about in this book won’t go unnoticed! Spring, summer, autumn and winter birds, woodland, meadow, sea and marsh birds — all are brought to life in lively, lyrical prose and rich plasticine-relief illustration. Colour and movement abound in every word and every detail, making each bird memorable. Ask your child: What birds have you seen or heard?

Reading
Please ensure you are reading with your child each night to further their literacy skills. Ask your child questions once they have read the book to further their comprehension skills!

Thanks, 
Ms. Toor
