May 20th Edition of
The Kindergarten Class News
Hi Everyone, here we are nearing the end of May already! Here are this week’s highlights.
On Monday I was away for a union meeting and Mrs. Freeman taught the class. The kids practiced writing in their journals, printed the number 6 and practiced reading.
Tuesday, we had our last Oral Language Groups of the year. The kids have learned a lot! Wo continued learning about butterflies and are eagerly awaiting the arrival of our Painted Ladies larva.
On Wednesday we started off our day with our class photo! We were not able to do a whole school shot this year due to COVID restrictions. We also had a Very Hungry Caterpillar themed day. We did literacy and math activities using this theme.
Thursday, we welcomed “Mr. Q-cumber”, aka Quinten, in. He taught us a fun traditional Coast Salish game about making people smile. It was a lot of fun. The kids always enjoy our time with him. Later we had another fun dance class with Kristen Lewis! After Music, we drew shadows in our nature art books and then played in the forest. The wild roses are starting to bloom and fill the forest with a sweet aroma.
Next week we have some fun events planned!
Please note that if your child usually has Show and Tell on Monday (Arlo, Desmia, Ella Mae and Oaklyn) they will share on Friday next week. We have completed the letter of the week and kids can bring anything.
We are starting a writing project using a special item from home as inspiration to write about a memory/experience. This could be a rock found on a trip to the beach, a photo or any other small item that sparks inspiration. Children will be asked to bring their item in on Thursday, May 27th. Please help your child bring something small enough that it can sit on their desk and not get in the way. Toys are not encouraged.
Friday will be dress-up day! Come dressed as a fairy, forest friend or fantasy character! Light costumes are encouraged as we will be walking to the beach that day too.
Important dates to remember:
May 24th Victoria Day (No school)
May 25th EPRA reading assessments
May 28th Friday School Day/Dress up day/ Walk to the beach.
Have a nice long weekend,
