May 30th Edition of
The Kindergarten Class News
Hi everyone, here is our last newsletter of May.
Monday we went to the library for the last time this year. Please make sure that all library books are returned next week for inventory. We also worked on math, reading and played in the forest.
On Tuesday we worked on symmetry in art, butterflies are a perfect example of this concept! I also introduced the class to the story of “The Little Red Hen”, adapted from the book by Paul Gadlone. We will be putting on a readers theatre show for parents and friends near the end of June. Mark your calendars!
Wednesday we worked on printing and welcomed Cathy from the Salt Spring Island Conservancy in to do a pre-trip activity. The kids are all excited about our trip to Ruckle Park next week. Kaz continued her unit on healthy eating with the class and we made self-portraits in nature.
On Thursday we had Whole School Meeting (Jasmine, Harvey and Galini showed their butterfly art), went to Music and worked on number order. Later we practiced our play, watered the garden and had forest play. Most of the class stayed on for the PAC BBQ and had a great time. What a beautiful afternoon for it! Thanks to all who came out to support.
**Reminder** We will be going on a field trip to Ruckle Park on June 4th. The trip is organized by the Salt Spring Conservancy and is always a great day of learning and adventure. Please be sure to send a water bottle, hat and warm layer. The forest can get a bit chilly but the beach can be hot in the sun.
As you can see, the last week of school is a busy one! It is my sincere hope that all the children will be in attendance on these days. We will have worked hard to prepare for the Readers Theatre performance and we hope you can make it. I understand it will not be possible for everyone, so I plan on filming the show to send out. The last day is also a very special one for the class. We will close the year with a slideshow highlighting our year and I will be handing out awards and little gifts. This is also a great opportunity to come collect spare clothes and stuff to take home for the summer. I hope you can make it at 10:45am.
