November 7th-11th

This week we decorated our windows using a bunch of different methods like paper tearing, finger painting and tissue paper to create beautiful winter bulbs. If you are walking by our window, have your child point our their bulbs! 

We also created tie dye quilting squares to represent ourselves, and show how we are all unique and awesome. The entire Tuscany School will create a piece of the quilt and it will be put together to create one giant school quilt. 

We also are working on using manipulatives to figure our different ways to create the same number. For example : 3 and 3 is 6, 4 and 2 is 6 , 5 and 1 is 6. We are also continuing to practice counting forwards and backwards from 10, and using strategies to figure out what all those numbers are in French.

We also filmed our Winder Celebration. The kids cannot wait to show you all the hard work they put into learning their winter poem!! We will be sharing and watching the celebration on December 16th. 

From Mme Lynley:

"I have absolutely enjoyed every moment of the last 6 weeks with your children. Mme Chelsey has been a great example for me to follow. Your kids are lucky to have her. I have gotten to know what makes your child unique and how differently every child learns. I have appreciated this learning opportunity and look forward to coming back mid February. Have a wonderful Christmas break!"

Important dates:

December 11th- PM kinder
December 17th- PJ day
December 14th-17th - Festive wear week! 
December 18th- No school
January 4th- No school

I would like to send a giant welcome to Mme Caroline. I will be sending out an email tomorrow with her introduction, I have no doubt she will be an amazing addition to our kinder family.  With that being said we are also saying goodbye to Mme Lynley, we wish her nothing but the best moving forward!! Here is a message from Mme Lynley: Bonjour!  Goodbyes are always bitter sweet. I am sad to leave Tuscany School (and your amazing kids!) but I am excited for my next steps in the world of education. I have absolutely enjoyed getting to know each and every one of our kindergarten students. They each have their own unique personalities and gifts. I will miss the laughter and the stories that we shared everyday. Thank you for this wonderful learning opportunity. Teaching is one of those crafts that is honed only by doing. I have learned so much from Mme Chelsey and your children. I will always remember these kids and what they have taught me. Thank you so much for this opportunity. I ...

I hope everyone has a wonderful and relaxing break, I cannot wait to hear all about it when we come back in January. This week we have been practicing how to decompose numbers using number bonds. We looked at how many different ways we could break down each number and practiced how to fill in number bonds using dominos. This activity went home in their math bags today- we will be doing this activity on January 6th, so no need to start until we are learning online. The kids also made tree ornaments for you using Shrinky Dinks. They traced their hands and decorated them like Santa.  We had so much fun this week watching the Winter Celebration, wearing our festive wear and wearing our PJ's.  Important dates: December 18th - No school January 4th - No school

Bonjour chers parents, We have had a fantastic first few days together, here in kindergarten! Lots of fun, learning, growth and laughs have been shared! I very much look forward to the next two months, where the students and I will get to know each other better, and continue our learning and growing together! New and Exciting! -We have been discussing weather during our morning routine and have added the job of "météorologue" to our calendar routine! Students have learned words such as "pluvieux" (rainy), "ensoleillé" (sunny), "venteux" (windy), "nuageux" (cloudy), "enneigé" (snowy) etc. Here is a song we use to accompany our learning:  -Many new activities have been introduced to our center time this week! Please feel free to ask your  child about their favourites and what skills they are developing while playing! -As the days are getting warmer (hopefully?) and exciting spring changes are starting to be more visible, we will...
