Welcome Back!

We are so excited to have your littles back with us.  We hope you had a wonderful winter break.  This week we have been busy finishing our capital letters J and Y.  We talked about the sounds they make and did a brainstorming organizer for January and the colour Yellow.  Ask you child what happens in January and what is yellow.










Today was our Mad Science presentation.  The students loved it!  They were smiling ear to ear as they watched and interacted with the mad scientist.  We have had some discussion around what a scientist is and does.  Please ask your child what they think...







The scientist used dry ice, dish soap, water and food clouding to create some wonderful reactions.

We have also gone outside with both AM and PM classes to the pond as part of environmental education.  The students came back and recorded as a whole class what they saw, what the walk made them think about, and what they wondered while they were there. In gym the students have been exploring movement with music. Please remember to return the school forms if you have not already done so.  Interviews are this Thursday and Friday and therefore there will be no school for Kindergarten students on either of these days. Thank you to everyone who has already ...
