We talked a little about Le Carnaval this week, and are getting ready to meet Bonhomme next week. 
Tuesday, Feb 2nd we will be learning how to play the spoons
Wednesday, Feb 3rd we will be snowshoeing 
Monday, Feb 8th we will be building an ice castle
Tuesday, Feb 9th we will be going sliding 

* for the ice castle, milk cartons will work as well as juice cartons. As long as it is a rectangular shape and not rounded. *

Here is the song we have been learning:


This week we worked on the letter "Vv- le vent". We focused on the sound difference between "V" and "F" and started doing consonant/vowel blends like "Li,Va, Vi". Can your child name any words that have the sound "V" in French?
We also continued our work with number bonds. We are practicing how to break apart numbers into smaller parts using manipulatives and as a step further how to represent them using an equation. We are also working on how to draw each number correctly and how to write them using words.

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...
