January 31st Edition of
The Kindergarten Class News
Hello again!
Our weeks seem to be getting very busy at this time of year! Here are just some of the things we did:
On Monday the kids enjoyed an entertaining performance by the Tiny Islands Jazz show. It was a full show! We also went to the library and did an experiment to with “blubber” to feel how penguins need the extra fat layer to stay warm in cold waters.
Tuesday we worked on the lowercase letter ‘b’ in printing, made mitten art inspired by the Jan Brett book, “The Mitten” and welcomed Glen (Drew’s dad) in to start a story making project.
On Wednesday we worked on writing in our journals, problem solved in math and continued working on our penguin books. Kaz came in to start teaching the class about how our bodies are our own and should be respected.
Thursday I was away at an Early Literacy In-service. The class worked on measurement in math, went to Whole School Meeting and had Music. Later they spent time outdoors and in the forest.
Next week will be “Nn” week for Show and Tell.
February is a very busy month. We will be starting a dance unit on Tuesday mornings run by Robbyn Scott, a clay fish project to replace the mural that is above the office doors run by Johanna Hoskins and two story workshops. It will be crazy and fun!
Important dates to remember:
February 5 Dance starts
February 14 Valentines Day
February 18 Family Day (no school)
February 22 School in session but early dismissal (11:30)
February 27 Pink Shirt Day

Warmly,
