I forgot to mention a very important item..... report cards!!!! They are also coming home today. We are so proud of all the progress that the students have made over the past 5 months. Way to go!!!!!
A few Reminders
We will be sending the blankets home to be washed today. If you could send them back to school on Tuesday that would be greatly appreciated.
Monday is Family Day so there is no school. Enjoy your day off with the family!
Since will not be here on Monday, we will be sending home the new snuggle books on Tuesday (sk students only). I hope the kids are enjoying their books!
We have had an exciting week leading up to our Valentine's Day and 100's Day celebrations! Oh to be a kid again!!! We have had so much fun today and can't wait to show you our Valentine's Love Monsters!!!
Have a great weekend! Here are some pictures from the week... we were busy beavers!

Message from Mme Tsering
Bonjour!
We had a nice visit to the retirement home yesterday... We had only a few visitors from the residence but we played and read books - and a nice walk outside! Thank you to our wonderful parent volunteers! Here are a few photos:

We are planning on doing nature walks on the beaver pond (nearby the school) in the weeks to come and will need some parent volunteers... Stay tuned!
In French we follow the letter of the week and learn vocabulary thanks to a short song that you're welcome to sing at home too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tKqSdb1-uI
This week for Valentine day, we focus on the words: le coeur, l'amour, je t'aime, St Valentin, fleur...
We even try to write "en francais"!

A New Week in Kinder
Today was a great day in Room 138! We are very excited to prepare and celebrate Valentine's Day AND 100's Day on Friday. We have lots of fun things planned for the week.
This week, our letter of the week is "l". We practised the sound that "l" makes and then listed lots of "l" words. Our word of the week is "love". We buttered our Love poem and turned it into a song. Ask your children to sing it to you. It is very catchy!
Our senior kindergarten students brought home their snuggle folders today. Please read the important information in the folder and remember to bring them back on Friday. Enjoy your special reading time with your children. You will be amazed at their progress and confidence.
In Math, we worked on subitizing. This is a way of recognizing numbers without counting them. We looked at dots on plates ranging from 1-10. The dots were randomly placed on some plates and others were placed in groupings. The kids had fun doing this and did a great job describing their answers and their thinking. It was neat to see the different ways that they came up with the answer . (Some saw groupings, some added and used mental math to come up with their answers).
Just a reminder to send in extra mitts and spare clothes. The students go out 2 times a day for 20 minutes each time so they need to dress appropriately.

Merci!

Valentine's Day Info
With Valentine's Day falling on a Sunday, we will be celebrating on Friday, February 12th. The children are welcome to wear red, white and pink as well as bring their cards. Instead of personalizing each card, we ask you just to put your child's name on them. With 30 students, it's much easier and quicker when they are exchanging their cards.
We are still in need of many empty kleenex boxes (17). If you have any at home, we will be happy to take them from you!!
A reminder that on Monday we will be starting our Snuggle Book Reading Program for the senior kindergarten students .
