Tuesday February 23

Today we started our day with some journal writing. We continue to work on adding lots of details and colours to our pictures. We are learning to sound out words and use the word wall to help us write.

We read the story "Penguin Day" and watched a short video on penguins. We worked in groups and drew on paper what we have learned about penguins. 

We continued to learn about 2D shapes. We played a guessing game where we had to describe a shape in front of us and our partner had to guess the shape. 

We played at centers and had gym.

Tomorrow is PINK shirt day. Please wear pink in support of always treating others with kindness.  

Friday is an AM kindergarten day.

PLEASE SEND CHILDREN WITH AT LEAST TWO CLEAN MASKS EACH DAY

The cold weather has highlighted some challenges for all of us – the need for warmer clothing, Blue Days, etc. We have also discovered that most children require a new mask after outside time because the one they wore outside is wet on the inside from breathing in the cold. Also in Kindergarten we have many children that sometimes need new masks after snack. Some times children's masks are wet from chewing on them. Please send your child to school with at least two clean masks each day to help alleviate these challenges for the students. Last week we provided disposable masks but are now almost out of stock with no more coming in the forseeable future, and learning is much easier when the children are comfortable with a clean mask. 

Please note, disposal masks are meant for 1 time use. Please make sure to change masks daily.

Thank you :)
















Please practice our penguin song at home: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvdngdI506U


                                PM Kindergarten please practice our penguin poem at home :) 

If I were a penguin I would dive in the water.

I'd swing and eat fish, squid and krill.

If I were a penguin,

I'd keep my egg safe.

I'd protect it for two months from winters chill.

If I were a penguin,

I'd wear black and white and belly slide down hills.

If I were a penguin, 

I'd waddle to the ocean on a hot or cold day.

This morning was Sports day for the AM kindergarten. We had fun at 7 different stations in the hub and gym. Ask your child about their favourite station. PM kindergarten will have sports day tomorrow. They can wear "rainbow " colours.  We read the story, The Night Before First Grade and talked about how we are feeling about going into Grade 1 and what we are excited most about. We drew pictures in our visual journals. Ask your child how they are feeling and what they are most looking forward to. We watched parts of the EHS talent show. We are amazed by all the talents of the students in the school! We played cooperative games and had centers. AM kindergarten brought all of the school items home today. PM children will bring all their items home on Friday. Monday is the last day of school for our Kindergarten students. AM and PM kindergarten will have their regular school hours.
