Hi everyone, only one more week to go!

We had another nice week on the in-class days and it was nice meeting with the home learners one on one. I look forward to seeing everyone together next week! It will be so special for the kids to feel the closure to such an important first year of school. 

Please let me know if you can’t make it on Thursday and we can arrange a separate pick up time for your child’s art folders/photo board etc.

Important dates to remember:

June 24^th Kindergarten graduation ceremony at 2:30pm

June 25^th Slideshow of the year at 11am on Zoom/Last day of school!

Have a nice weekend,

Hello again!

We have had another fun, busy week. The in-class days continue to be blessed with good weather. I'm sure everyone is happy about this, as we spend most of the day outside.

On Monday we had another great nature art class and spent time learning in the forest. Our walk to the beach was a huge success and we all enjoyed exploring the tide pools and intertidal ecosystem. The tide was at an extreme low and we saw an eel, crabs, sea birds, star fish and more!

On Wednesday, we worked on our math, wrote in our journals and played games with Quentin, who was visiting the classes. It was a lot of fun.

There will be no class Zoom meetings next week. Instead, I will be meeting with the home learners individually. I have sent out your meeting times in a separate email.

Important Dates to Remember:

June 24^th Year End Celebration at 2:30pm 

June 25^th Last Day of School/Slideshow via Zoom at 11am

Wishing you all a lovely weekend.

Warmly,
