February 21st Edition of
The Kindergarten Class News
Hi Everyone!
Here are some highlights from our week:
Monday the school was closed for Family Day.
On Tuesday the class had another fun dance lesson from Robynn Scott, worked on printing and continued our unit on healthy food choices. Later, we enjoyed the sunshine and made beautiful flower mandalas outside.
On Wednesday I was away at a Union meeting so Mrs. Freeman was with the class. The kids worked on journals, thought of foods to match every colour of the rainbow and practiced reading.
Thursday was our Whole School Meeting. This term we are raising money to donate to cancer research. Someone from the Copper Kettle came and graciously accepted the money raised last term. Thanks to those who brought in spare change. Each class was entered into a draw for a pink shirt and two pink bracelets to help support Pink Shirt Day (next Wed.). Louis won the pink shirt and Nathan and Duke B. won the bracelets. Congratulations! James, Melissa, Nathan and Reverie presented their project about healthy food choices.
Friday was PJ day! We have started creating our own stories! The kids are having fun coming up with characters, and figuring out the elements of a story. We also went to the library, measured each other using blocks and had a popcorn party! Another beautiful day.
March 5th will be an early dismissal day for the Student Led Conferences. This is a mandatory activity as it is considered your child’s report card. If you cannot make it on the 5th we will have to reschedule. Buses will run as usual and will leave the school at 12pm. Stay tuned for a sign up link.
Registration for the 2020-2021 school year is now open! If you know of anyone with a child turning five this year, please advise them to see Rebecca in the office to register for Kindergarten.
