November
16th Edition of
The K/1 Class
News
Hello Everyone!
Monday this week was a holiday
because of Remembrance Day so there was no school.
Tuesday we wrote about our
favourite local animal in our journals, had our Oral Language groups and
enjoyed learning about dinosaurs with a science group “Let’s Talk Science” from
the University of Victoria.
Wednesday we had Quentin visit the class to share a
poem and create an owl craft, we also learned about what a habitat is and had a
senses scavenger hunt out in nature.
On Thursday we had Whole School Meeting and Mina
and Sylvio presented their artwork. We finished off our animal stories with
help from our big buddies and visited the bog to explore nature. The kids were
thrilled to find the bog full of water after all the rain! What a difference
from last week. As you will notice, many children got wet while playing in the
water. Please make sure your child has a spare set of clothes at school and if
items were lent out, please wash and return them so we can have them when
needed.
We have also started learning a song (“Santa Bring
Me Snow”) and dance to perform at our Christmas Concert in December. The kids
are eager to learn the moves!
Ms. Klare is now teaching most of the day. Kaz and
Mrs. Van Riel are supervising and assisting in her lessons. Ms. Klare is doing
a great job and the children are always eager to hear about what she will teach
them.
Important dates to remember:
November 20th Retakes
November 21-23 Book Fair
November 29th is an early dismissal day for student led
conferences. This is your child’s opportunity to share their
learning with you. Please sign up for an interview time (or contact us) if you
have not done so already. If you can’t make it during school hours please let
us know.
December 7th ReGift Fest
Scholastic book orders were sent home. If you
would like to order a book for Christmas and have it be a surprise, please
email Kaz and she will make sure your child doesn’t see it. The book fair is
also a great place for holiday shopping.
Have a great weekend!
