Week of Feb. 18


We hope that you enjoyed the beautiful weekend with your family!The children had many stories to share about their adventures over the long weekend.
Last week was all about love, friendships and partnerships. There was lots of excitement about Valentine's Day and making our Love Monsters. Hopefully they all made it home in one piece!

Our class has been very fortunate to have a wonderful opportunity to work with a drama production class from All Saints High School. A mother of a student in the other kinder class is the drama teacher at All Saints and she has graciously offered to bring the class to our school once a week to work on drama (aka "pretend") with the children. We are planning our first chance to get together next week on Wednesday.

Due to the short week, we will not have a letter or word of the week. Instead, we will review the words on our word wall and practice letter sounds. The first term Communication of Learning will be coming home today. There is a letter enclosed explaining the effect of the labour disruption. Should you have any questions regarding your child's report or progress, please feel free to reach out. We kindly ask that you save the envelope for the report and return it to school with your child so that it can be used again for the second term in June.


Last Thursday, blankets were sent home to be washed. In case you haven't had a chance to return your child's blanket, please do so as soon as possible. We also appreciate all the extra socks and mittens that have been sent in for each child.

Today we explored numbers by creating tall towers and counting how many cubes we used.  They had a great time and were very creative and inventive with their building strategies. We also read a book about smiling and how being happy makes everything better!  The children had great ideas of what makes them happy and smile.  Their homework is to come home with a smile for their family to see if it is contagious.
