There will be no letter or word of the week this week. Please continue to practise letter recognition and sounds with your child.
On Wednesday, we will be hosting 13 delegates from China in our classroom. They are interested in seeing how we teach our students in kindergarten. They will be visiting many schools in Ottawa. We are very excited to show them how we explore and learn in Room 138!
Last Thursday we had a perfect day for Outdoor Learning Day. The students had a blast counting dandelions in hula hoops, writing and drawing pictures using chalk on the sidewalk, drawing their favourite part of the story we listened to and filling up ten frames using nature (rocks, twigs, dandelions). Please see below for pictures from this day.
Reminders:
- Sunscreen:Unfortunately we are not allowed to apply sunscreen on the students. If you could send them in with sunscreen already applied, that would be great. If you send sunscreen in with your child, please ensure that it is NOT the spray kind. This makes the floors very slippery and hazardous. Creams only please.
- Please send in a refillable water bottle. Now that the weather is warming up, the kids are outside and get extra thirsty from running and playing in the heat.
- If your child does not have spare clothing (shorts, underwear, socks and shirt) please send some in a labeled ziplock.
