Thursday November 17

Mrs. Mask's AM class went to the fire station and had a fantastic time. The children learned about fire safety and got to see all the equipment outside of the truck and on the inside. The children got to sit in the drivers' seat. They also talked about all the protective gear a firefighter wears and one of the firefighters put on all his gear to show us. Ask your child about their favourite part of the visit. 

Green Fool's Residency Viewing - Thank you to those AM parents who joined us this morning to see what we have been up to in the gym!

 

PM Kindergarten had their last session of Green fools this afternoon and will be showcasing their talents tomorrow for any parents that would like to join. 

Friday November 18th

11:20 – 11:50  Mrs. Mask – PM Kindergarten

We will be asking that you take off your outdoor shoes at the door so please bring indoor shoes if you do not want to be in socks.


PM Kindergarten was introduced to the letter T. We read, "When Tilly Turtle Comes to Tea" and had to pick out all the words that begin with T. We learned the jolly phonics letter T song. We practiced printing the letter T and drew items that begin with T. 

We learned about rhyming words. We played a rhyming game to find matching rhyming words. 

Tomorrow is PM Kindergarten - we will be going outside to play. Please dress your child for the weather.

Family Photos

We have been talking about our families at school.  If you are able to send us a family photo of your family that we can hang on a bulletin board at school we would appreciate it.  We will hang up any family photos we get at school in our display and return the photos to you in early December.  Many thanks for considering our request. We will continue to explore how families come in many different shapes and sizes.  

Interviews

With interviews approaching, we are asking families if they would like to have an interpreter to meet with us to discuss how your child is doing in the class. The Calgary Board of Education offers interpreters for interviews. Please email your child's teacher if you would like to have an interpreter and share the language you would like the interpreter for. If you have already requested on, you do not need to respond again. Thank you :)

We learned the jolly phonics song for N and practiced the actions for all the letters we have been learning. (S, A, T, I, P, N) We practiced printing the letter N in our printing journals. The AM classes had gym and music.  Please ask your child what they did. PM class went to gym and did stations to practice skills such as catching, throwing, kicking and target practice.  We are very lucky to have some new centers to play with!  Thank you to the casino funds for allowing us to purchase the new toys.  The kinders loved playing the new cooperative game "Hoot Owl Hoot" and playing with the magnatiles.
