Well, we have been very busy in Kindergarten already and our first month of school isn’t even done yet! We have been introduced to all of the clock letters so far. These are all the letters that start at 2 o’clock and go around in a circle (o, a, c, d, g, f, s, qu,) We are working on their sounds and how to print them correctly.
We are also working on holding our writing tools correctly. We have been making a lot of progress and working very hard on these!
Wow! We did it! First full week of Kindergarten is in the books! Great job everyone!
We are getting more and more comfortable with the routines each day and we ended our week with a video with Mrs Morris’ class and a special visit from a furry friend.
Don’t be surprised if your kiddos are tired. It’s a lot of work adjusting and learning what’s expected at school. I hope you all enjoy a quiet weekend with lots of hugs and snuggles.
See you Monday!
Comfort Kits are due into the classroom soon. I have only received a handful so far. A notice came home last week about them. Please let me know if you need me to send you another one. These large ziploc bags are for us to store at the school in case of emergency.
If you were part of our HRA Parent Zoom Meeting on Tuesday night you would have heard Mr Morris mention that we are looking at moving towards having the kindergarten and grade one students come into the school independently. Over the next few days, could you take some time in the mornings as you are bringing your children to encourage them to try to find their classroom, locker, back and forth folder independently with you cheering them on from the side, rather than taking the lead? I will be at my classroom door to watch for them and welcome them and help guide them. Some of your kiddos are already coming in on their own and doing a great job. Thanks for your help with this.
Dates to remember:
Every Friday is Knight Day- students can wear their Knight shirt and casual pants instead of their uniform. If they don’t want to wear their Knight shirt, they will need to be in their uniform.
Monday Sept 27- memory verse due
Wednesday Sept 29- Orange Shirt Day
Thursday Sept 30- Truth and Reconciliation Day- no school
Friday Oct 1- Professional Development Day- no school
Tomorrow, Wednesday September 22, we are participating in the Terry Fox run at school. We will be learning a little bit about Terry Fox and running once around the field.
We are collecting Toonies for Terry as part of a fundraising project for Cancer Research. If you would like to send in a toonie for this, please do so tomorrow.
Thank you!
Would anyone have some cornflakes we could use for an art project? We only need a small ziploc full not a full box.
Today our first Memory Verse has come home. These will be sent home on Mondays and students will have until the following Monday to learn the verse. Please practice with your child at home! This practice is vital to your child successfully learning these.
This week’s verse is
“All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” “Romans 3:23
Library books will be due on Mondays. Please return your child’s library books in their library book bag on Monday so they can take out new books.
Well, we have made it to the end of our gradual entry half days and the children are doing so well. Beginning Monday, September 20th we will be here until the end of the day at 2:55. The pick up procedure will be the same- we will meet you outside with our backpacks already packed and ready to go. There will be a lot more going on in the parking lot at the end of the day. Please be patient with me as I work to dismiss the children safely. They are doing so well at raising their hands when they see their pick up person.
Also, next week is sure to be overwhelming and exhausting. Please ensure your child has a pillow here for Monday so that they have a nice comfy place to put their heads during our daily rest time.
I am so pleased with how well the students are settling in and learning routines. We have even been working on shapes, colours, numbers and phonograms!
Have a wonderful weekend Kindie Friends- see you on Monday!
