Happy New Year!
Welcome back. We have
kicked off this week with looking at the letter ‘Cc’. We are focusing on the hard ‘Cc’ sound /k/
but acknowledging the soft sound /s/. We
have discovered that this is a tricky letter because there are also words that
sound like they work, but are actually written with the letter ‘Kk’. My focus is the phonemic awareness (sounds),
and if children discover a word like ‘kite,’ I will tell them it is written
with a ‘K’ but accept it for the /k/ sound.

We are excited to welcome Mr. Schlamp into our classroom
this month. Here’s what he has to say:
“Hi, my name is Mr. Schlamp (Shhhhh-lamp) and I am a student
teacher. I am studying to become a teacher at Ambrose University College. I
have just started my first practicum in Mr. Trechka’s classroom and I am really
excited about it!
I come from a small town in Saskatchewan but I have done all
of my post-secondary schooling in Calgary, at Ambrose University College. My
first degree is in biology and I really like science!
I hope to get to know everybody in the classroom really well
before I finish my practicum at the end of January. “
The students have done an excellent job welcoming him, and
Mrs. Christofferson in Mrs. Hassam’s class.
If you see them, please give them a warm Beddington welcome!
