Happy February Everyone!
It was an eventful week.
On Monday we worked on our
printing, made some rain inspired artwork and welcomed Eli back from his trip
to India! It’s so nice having you back Eli.
Tuesday Mrs. Freeman taught the class while Mrs.
Van Riel and Kaz were at an Early Literacy In-Service. The class wrote in their journals,
welcomed baby Max back during Roots of Empathy and created more beautiful art.
On Wednesday we played
math games, had an extra Roots of Empathy class and practiced alphabet
knowledge during our outside time.
Thursday we learned
about the “am” word family, Franky, Ava and Eli presented at Whole School
Meeting and the kids went to Music. Later we worked on the school mural. On Thursday
we also welcomed two new students, Jasmijn and Jan, into our class. We are all
excited to have them here and look forward to getting to know them better.
As many of you have probably
heard by now, Ms. Mullen will be away for three months starting February 14th
recovering from a wrist surgery. Kaz will be acting as principal during Marie’s
absence. We are thrilled to welcome Ms. Klare back as the successful candidate
to teach our class on Mondays, while Kaz is covering for Marie. It should be a
very easy transition for the kids as they all know and love Ms. Klare.
Thanks to everyone for
getting on board with the home reading program. The kids are always happy to
pick a new book to take home each day. Remember that the reading time at home
should be an enjoyable experience and a good excuse to snuggle up for a few
minutes and read together. Don’t worry if you miss a night, it should be stress
free.
A reminder that Family
Math Night is coming up on Thursday, February 8th. Families are
welcome to come to the gym and explore math games and puzzles in the Math
Playground. We will have a short information session for parents to learn about
how math instruction has changed and how parents can support their children in
math learning at home. The Math Playground will be open in the gym from 6-7:30
pm and we will have the parent info session around 7 pm. We hope that many of
you join us for this event.
