Chers parents,
We have a wonderful month of activities ahead. Please check your calendars that were sent home. For your child's special day he or she can talk about a favourite springtime activity. We are continuing our unit on food and
nutrition. Today we explored the effects
of vinegar (which contains acid) on an eggshell. It was great to see the reactions of the
children to what happened with the egg in the course of one day. We recently worked on a placemat for our
restaurant simulation. We will be
working on putting words on the foods the children want to order. On the 23rd we will have our
restaurant experience. The kindergarten
class will be the customers and our care-partners will be the restaurant
workers. We will be eating a shared
snacked of a party mix and have juice boxes for a drink. Tomorrow we are looking forward to baking
cookies. We will have some as a snack as
well. Thank you to our two parent volunteers, Robina Hanif and Dawn Martens-Koop
for helping with this endeavour. We will
also be going to Extra Foods for a tour next week Wednesday. Thank you to Dawn and Robina for volunteering
for this as well. There is room for more
if you would like to join us. Next week
we have some guest artists who will help us as we have an artist workshop doing
still life paintings of a bowl of fruit.
Every year I have done a Mother’s Day/Spring Tea in honour
of Mother’s Day and a Dad’s Day/ Play Day in honour of Father’s Day. The Mother’s Day tea will take place Friday
May 6th at 9am-10:30 in the LRC.
If you are unable to attend this event and can send another special
adult in your stead (a dad, grandparent or that would be great). It is a special time that we like to share
with the children and the adults. For
the play day if you are unable to attend another adult is also welcome to join. The Dad’s Day/Play Day takes place in the gym
in June (also from 9am-10:30am) when the rest of the school is at a swimming
pool. I will let you the date as soon as
that is known.
We will have more field trips in May and June as well that I
will let you know about. It is exciting
to take part in these activities!
We have been having great sharing times that include
experiences that students have had with Solange and Simon. Thank you for taking this on. The children have been really enjoying their
time with the monkeys.
We are looking forward to more spring fun!
Merci,
Mme Jennifer Wallace
