November 27th Edition of
The Kindergarten/1 Class News
Hello Everyone!
We had a wet but exciting week. Thanks to those who have retuned the borrowed rain gear. It is a must these days as the kids are not shy to get wet!
We are nearing the end of the term, and I am noticing so much growth in all our learners. We continue to practice reading and writing skills and have begun learning about rhyming words in our Oral Language Groups. You can easily reinforce this skill at home by playing rhyming I-Spy!
Our class was very excited to be the winners of the weekly school challenge! The challenge was to see which class was the best at greeting others or responding to being greeted. We won the cup and got a special reward.
You may have noticed “pet rocks” come home. These were part of a fun art project inspired by the book, “Ishi: Simple Tips from a Solid Friend” by Akiko Yabuki. This is a story about sharing happiness and turning a hard situation into a good one. We had a lot of fun making our own book with these rocks!
Please remember to bring in any lightly used items for the Re-gift Fest by Monday, Dec. 8th. We encourage families to donate the same number of items as the number of people in their immediate family. On the 10th, the classes will all get to go and choose a gift to wrap and bring home to give to immediate family members on Christmas (or other special time if you don’t participate in Christmas). It’s a nice lesson on giving that we all enjoy every year. If any of you would like to help wrap presents on the 10th, please contact PAC.
Important Dates to Remember:
December 8 Re-gift Fest donations brought in
December 10 Re-gift Fest “shop”
December 18 Christmas Concert
December 19 Winter Break begins
Enjoy your weekend!
Warmly,
Ara Van Riel
