100th Day Challenge

Today the children are coming home with their 100th Day Challenge name print page. Great job everyone! 

Happy 100th Day!

Valentines Day

Hello Everyone,

With the snow day today and many of you at home, we just wanted to share some information about Valentines Day coming up next Wednesday. Please note that we will be celebrating Valentines Day as a class, by doing some fun activities and centres based around the Valentines Day theme. Please know that we have many allergies within the Kindergarten area and therefore can not pass out any food items. If you would like to share a Valentine with the class, please keep it to a non-edible treat, such as a pencil or eraser. Also if you could please address your child’s Valentine cards To: My Friend, as it would make it much easier for your child to pass out his/her cards on their own. We have 31 children in our class. Thank you for your continued support! 

Pancake Tuesday

Go Canada Go!

To celebrate the Opening Ceremonies of the 2018 Olympic Winter Games our class finger painted their own Olympic Rings, by following along to a sample picture that we had displayed. Great work today! Go Canada Go! 

Coding Fun

Today the children worked on an activity where they had to move their own direction arrow to guide one of our toy cars through a road maze back home. The children did a great job using our direction words, forward, backward, turn left and turn right. Great driving today! 

Fine Motor Skills

Today the children worked on tracing the shape of a groundhog onto a paper of their own and then cutting it out to decorate. We are working hard everyday developing our fine motor development through activities where we are printing, colouring, tracing and cutting. Cutting is a skill that we have noticed many to still have a difficult time with. Remembering to grip the scissors, keeping their thumb up, with their elbow bent and close to their body, while using their other hand to hold and turn their paper is something that we practice every time we cut. Any extra practice at home would be beneficial to your child. Keep up the good work!
