Week of November 12th

Today was such a special day for everyone in Kindergarten.  We were honoured to have 2 members of the Armed Forces in our classroom, Mr. Braden and Mr. Mousseau.  The children were in awe when these 2 men spoke and answered all their questions.  We thank you for your service and we are so happy that you came in today to educate us.

Our letter of the week is "s" and our word of the week is "is".  Please continue to practice letter recognition and sound association with your child as well as point out our popcorn words during your nightly reading.

Today we continued to work on patterning.  The students started to make patterns to display on our beautiful pattern tree.  We talked about what makes a pattern (repetition) as well as the different kinds of patterns (eg AB, AABB, ABCD).

Reminders:

Initial Observations:
 Our first "report card" is coming home on Wednesday and Parent Teacher interviews are on Thursday evening.  Mrs. N and I are so excited to chat with you about your wonderful child.  Please be mindful that each interview is only 10 minutes long.  If there is something that you need to talk about more in depth, feel free to write a note in the communication book and we can schedule a phone meeting.  We ask that each parent knocks on the door at their scheduled time slot.

Friday, November 16th : PD Day - No school for the students

Outerwear: 
Today we had many wet pants and socks due to the snow and puddles.  With this unpredictable weather, it is a good idea to send your child with a pair of splash pants or snowpants in their backpacks.  We are also asking that you ensure that your child has a few spare pairs of socks and a spare pair of pants.

Here are some pictures from today:
