 January 18th-22nd

*As a school, we have decided not to have a valentines day exchange this year.  There will be a school wide message sent to parents tomorrow. *

This week we discussed the Circle of Courage. We focused on Independence and talked about things that they might want to learn to do by themselves. We had so many great ideas from learning to bake cookies, learning to ride a bike with two wheels and learning to skate without help. 

We also met Le Nez. We are learning to isolate sounds within words, and practiced identifying if a sound was in the beginning, middle or end of a word.  We have also been practicing how to clap out syllables. 

We have finished off our unit on Shapes! We should now be able to identify most of the shapes in French and also names some of the characteristics that go with with each shape. 

I am looking for some volunteers to help make some extra play dough for the class. I will be happy with any color and any amount. Thanks so much in advance! 

Below are some pictures of the quilts we created earlier in the year using tie dye and sharpies. 

Important dates:

January 22nd- AM Kinder
January 28th- Library Day
January 29th- No School
February 1- Report cards can be viewed online (more info to come)
February 1- The start of  "Le Carnaval"  ( more info to come)

**For the weeks of February 3-5th and 8th-10th please bring snow pants, mittens and a hat  to school each day. We will be going outside most of these days. **

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...
