April 2nd Edition of
The K/1 Class News
Hello families, I hope you all had a good break. It is so nice to all reunite after some time away.
We have started learning about lots of new subjects. We began a measurement unit in math, story structure/elements, life cycles and more!
We’ve started gardening again and had fun weeding our garden bed and then planting peas. We look forward to learning more about gardening in the coming weeks.
The class is excited to learn about the development of chicks! We have 12 chicken eggs set in our incubator and look forward to our hatch due on April 22nd (Earth Day!). We will learn all about the life cycle and development of these cute creatures!
Kate (the grade 6/7 teacher) has started working on the school play. Our class will be flowers in a garden and we have a song to learn. I will send home the lyrics so you can help practice. It is to the tune of “Ring Around the Rosey”. There will be two performances, and it is encouraged that everyone be present for both. The first one is on May 13th at 1pm and the last one is May 14th at 6pm. You are welcome to take your child home after their song the night of the evening show if you want.
Report Cards were sent home on Thursday. Remember these learning updates are intended for the parents.
There will be a lot of events between now and the end of the year. Please be sure to check your child’s planner for permission slips and notices and keep an eye on the school newsletters.
