It is hard to believe it is already May! And it has been quite a rainy start! Please remember that we go on nature walks (outdoor learning) 2 times a week so be sure to send your child to school in rain boots as we go rain or shine!
Also, we have had a date change for our Welcome to Kindergarten night for any new JKs joining our classes. Please be advised it is now on June 13.
Here are some stories from this week...
Find it!
As we continue to learn about measurement we played the game 'Find It'. The teacher calls out a challenge like 'find something longer than your foot' and the kids have to look around the room, find and measure something, and bring it to the carpet.
Kinder Stars
Tuesday was our April Kinder Star assembly. We are always excited to see our friends win awards!
Visiting the Garden
Instead of going on a nature with Walk Ms. Darlow, we visited our school's butterfly garden. We helped to dig the dirt and pull the weeds and of course we all looked for more worms! We see some of the tulips that we planted starting to grow! It is so exciting!
Seed Paper
One of our Bluejays made seed paper with her Sparks group and she brought in the materials to teach us how to do it. She was the teacher and ran the whole centre! First, she showed us an example and how to make it and then she used a checklist to make sure everyone got a turn. We made one seed paper to take home and another to plant in our garden. All you need to do is choose a sunny spot in your garden, cover the paper with a little dirt, water it, and wait! Hopefully something will start to grow soon!! Thank you so much to our Bluejay girl and her family - we had lots of fun!
Plastic Bag Challenge
On Wednesday, our plastic bag challenge finished. It was our job to count all the plastic grocery bags that were brought in. We all made piles of 10 and put them into a big bag. Our school collected 916 bags! Ms. Boag took them to Walmart to be properly recycled.
Alectra
On Thursday, Blair from Alectra electrical safety and conservation came to visit the school. He taught us about how to be safe around electricity and the importance of saving electricity.
Nature Walk
We went on a rainy nature walk Thursday to the forest and the kids that were wearing boots got to jump in puddles! We walked very quietly through the forest and we could hear the rain and birds singing. We tried whistling to them and they sang back to us! We also saw a woodpecker!
Movie Night
Some families came back to the school last night for our Movie Night. We had so much fun eating pizza and watching How to Train your Dragon.
Star Wars Day
Friday was Star Wars Day (since May the 4th is a Saturday). We made Yoda and Princess Leia crowns and did Star Wars yoga! May the 4th be with you!
