April 26th- April 30th

 Bonjour chers parents,

Another great week, full or learning, laughing, dancing and fun coming to a close! 

We had a great time celebrating our dear Alphas as we learned our last letter for kindergarten "le wagon" (letter W). Students enjoyed searching for the Alphas, who were hiding from Furiosa the witch around the class! Those clever Alphas decided to blend in by hiding in books or close to words! This takes us to our next step in learning; finding the Alphas in books. (their appearance transforms to that of letters, to better blend in!) 
Students have already enjoyed identifying letters the recognize within their classmates names! Can you spot our Alphas while reading a book tonight?

New and Exciting! 
-Star of the Day!- Please see photo below for details! (this information will also be sent out by email!

-I believe I forgot to introduce our friend "Fripouille"! You may have heard of the letters she has been writing the students, the fun ways she introduces new activities or even the morning messages she uses to practice her writing? 
Morning messages are a great way to practice reading, using known letters, sight words (le, la, des, il y a etc.) as a beginning step to decoding. Students very much look forward to see what Fripouille has in store for them!

-Our song of the week is for a very special person and not yet ready to be shared! 

-Sound Kreations dance residency has been a blast! Our instructor AJ is a lot of fun, has some great games and especially great moves up his sleeve! Students have enjoyed getting moving and being challenged by what AJ has prepared for them! Sessions will continue until May 7th.
Please ensure students come prepared with loose fitting clothing, appropriate footwear and a bottle of water.

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...
