The Kindergarten Class News

Hello Everyone, here is the last newsletter before the break.

 

We had a fun and full last couple of weeks. With the weather improving, we have been enjoying the time outside and notice spring flowers popping out everywhere. 

 

Tuesday was a very exciting day! It was the 100^th day of school (!!)Thanks for sending in the collections of 100 items, it was fun to see these representations! We explored the number 100 throughout the day and had a lot of fun! I was home sick, so I saved a special necklace activity until I got back, stretching out the celebration. 

 

I do hope that the break from classes will clear up any cold and flu bugs and that we all return healthy. 

 

We will be on the letter ‘Ww’ for Show and Tell when we return after the break.

Please send in a fresh change of spare clothes after the break. Many kids are out.

March 31 School back in session

Warmly,

Hello Families! Here is a little March update:

Illness seems never ending, so a big thank you for keeping sick kids home. I know the cough can go on... Let's hope the Spring break will give everyone a chance to recover.

The last month has been full of all sorts of fun including snow days, a Valentine's party and a visit from cute baby lambs!

Next week (Tuesday, March 11th) we will celebrate the 100th day of school! We invite you to help your child make a collection or display of 100 items (all the same) to bring in next Tuesday so we can see different representations of the number 100. Some ideas are: rock collection, stickers, noodles, a collection of sticks/feathers/nuts...get creative!  We will be exploring and celebrating the number 100 all day! 

 

Our class family keeps growing and changing. We said goodbye to one classmate who moved away and welcomed 2 new friends to the class all around the same time. Welcome!

Have a look at the photos to recap some of school adventures over last month and a bit.
