LEST WE FORGET!   For Remembrance Day as a class we read our new poem for the week which is about a poppy. We all recieved our poppies to wear and we talked about why we do this. In class we had our own two minutes of silence and thanked all of those to fought for us throughout the years to keep Canada safe and free. Thank you to our special guests ...

This week the students were really focused on healthy eating. We talked about the Canada food guide and all the foods that fit into the different food groups.

We create a book a week as a class and this week we wrote about our favourite letter of the alphabet and then wrote a word to go along with that letter. They students really en...

Halloween is a very special time, especially when you are in Kindergarten. All the students are invited to bring their costumes to school with them for our costume parade on Halloween morning. We ask that you also send a plastic bag for them to bring their costumes home in as we do not want to be wearing them all day (we would hate for something to happen to them before Halloween night). It is also a school spirit day so the rest of the school will be wearing bl...

The students all had a wonderful time at Rounds Ranch. The students got to participate in an interactive story about how a pumpkin grows from a seed into a large pumpkin ready to be picked in the pumpkin patch. They also go to enjoy the hands on experiences in the pumpkin lab where they got to measure the weight, explore the insides of a pumpkin, organize the pumpkins by size and label the parts of a pumpkin. This was all followed by a wonderful wagon ride aroun...

Also, our home reading program "Snuggle up and Read" started in full swing this ...

This week we are focusing on pumpkins. We are talking about what they look like, feel like, the shapes they might take and the different ways to carve a pumpkin. We are also continuing to work on our letters and their sounds. By the end of this week we will have worked up to the letter "Gg". Continue to encourage your child to find the letters of the alphabet at home while out shopping or on a walk. We are also working on talking about things that are more or le...
