February 19th Edition of
The Kindergarten Class News
Hi Everyone!
Here are some highlights from our week:
Monday the school was closed for Family Day. I hope you all had fun in the snow!
On Tuesday the class was excited to share snow stories and wrote in their journals about what they did on the long weekend. We also worked more on compound words and went to Music class. Everyone was happy to play in the snow during recess, lunch and forest play!
On Wednesday we played a math game using dice and counters, we also started the C.A.R.E. kit and talked about how each person in the world is special and unique. The class visited the library and, understandable, many children forget it was library day. Please send in the books next week if they were forgotten.
Thursday, we had another visit from Quinten and this time we painted our fish paddles. They look great! We also had Music class and the kids continued to enjoy playing in the (very wet) snow.
Friday was a school day and PJ day! Whenever Monday is a holiday, Friday runs on a Monday schedule (this includes Show and Tell). We worked on printing, combined art and math in a snowflake activity and began a story telling workshop. The kids loved it! They will be creating their own books, stay tuned!
Next week we will be starting a writing blitz supported by Mrs. Lamirand! This is part of a school wide project called the EPIC project and is designed to help kids learn more about writing in a fun and collaborative way.
March 4th will be an early dismissal day for the Parent-Teacher meetings. I will be contacting the parents who I need to meet with to arrange a time. If you don’t hear from me, but have something you would like to discuss about your child, please reach out. Priority will be given to those I didn’t get a chance to meet with the last time.
Important dates to remember:
February 24 Pink Shirt Day
March 4 Early dismissal
March 12 First day of Spring Break
March 29 School back in session
Warmly,
