Kindergarten Picnic

Dear Kindergarten Families, We can't believe our 'End of the Year Picnic' is tomorrow! We have received many replies from families that are able to attend the picnic and are looking forward to wrapping up another successful year! If you have yet to reply and would like to, you are welcome to come by! The picnic is on Wednesday, June 20th at 9:00 a.m. We are asking that families meet us outside of the kindergarten pen, on the grass area to the right of the pen. If you are able to attend, please bring a blanket/towel for you and your child to sit on while they have their morning snack. All children should be coming to school with their morning snack, water bottle and a hat. Children should be coming to school with sunscreen already applied. If you are not able to attend the picnic, you may send a small beach towel/blanket for your child to sit on with some of the other students that will be doing the same. If you are bringing a snack for yourself, please ensure that it is peanut/nut free and kindly do not share any food items with other children. Thanks, Kindergarten Team

Welcome to our new friends!

It may be June, but we have two new friends in our class! We wanted to welcome our two new friends.... We are very excited to see what these two new friends will teach us!

An inquiry to find out what snails like, led us to our graphing unit. **Thank you to the families who have sent food in for the snails!

STEAM BINS

Pink Shirt Day

In 2007, Nova Scotia secondary students David Shepherd and Travis Price saw a grade nine student being bullied for wearing a pink shirt on the first day of school.  In an effort to stand up for the student, they purchased 50 pink shirts and distributed them to other students, who wore them in solidarity.  Since David and Travis’ act of kindness in 2007, the spirit of their effort has grown each year.  In 2018, people in almost 180 countries shared their support of Pink Shirt Day through social media posts and donations.  (For more information, visit the official website for Pink Shirt Day.) Next Wednesday –February 27, 2019—is Pink Shirt Day.  This year's focus is on cyberbullying.  We will be encouraging our students, as they learn about social media safety, to always THINK before they post anything.  Before posting anything, we are prompting students to ask themselves if what they are posting is: True, Helpful, Inspiring, Necessary and Kind.  Please encourage your child to wear a Pink Shirt to school on February 27, 2019.  Let’s promote kindness and stand up to bullying this coming Wednesday, and every day.

Lunar New Year

This Tuesday, February 5th will be the Lunar New Year!  

We welcome all those who celebrate the holiday to dress up in traditional New Year clothing, if they wish. We welcome all of our students to get into the spirit, even in the absence of traditional clothing, by dressing in red on Tuesday. The colour red is thought to symbolize good luck, so please help us usher in the Lunar New Year with some colourful good fortune! 

Kindergarten students will be going on a parade through the school  at 9 a.m. tomorrow!

Fiction and Non-Fiction

Over the last few months, we had lots of fun reading and learning about the difference between fiction and non-fictions books. As you are reading books at home, you can talk to your children about the type of book they are reading.

January Scholastic Book Orders Due

Spirit Day

Our Student Leadership Team wants to share with everyone that our next Spirit Day of the Year will be held next week.  They officially declare Thursday, January 17th Beach Day!

Students are invited to spread some Summer cheer in the midst of the January!  Sunglasses, sun hats, towels and sand toys are all welcome.  Students can even bring in flip flops or Crocs for photographs, but we’d ask they still have regular indoor and outdoor shoes, too.  Let’s bring our sunniest smiles and bring some warmth back to the Winter!

Self-Regulation

We are learning to self-regulate in our class.

Self-regulation allows kids to manage their emotions, behavior and body movement when they’re faced with a situation that’s tough to handle. Through read-aloud and videos, we are learning to figure out what emotions the characters are in. Students are learning what zone the different emotions fall in. 

Play Osmo

Learning To stretch words out to hear sounds using Osmo!


Student had a chance to stretch the words out to figure out what sounds they heard at the beginning and end of each word! Can’t wait to use Osmo more in the classroom

Happy 2019!

Happy New Year kindergarten families! Hope you had a happy and safe holiday season. Our students had a chance to make a New Year's Resolution for 2019!

We are really excited to see all the new learning that will this year!
