Les pyjamas et Crayons et Croissants~Whole School Pajama Day and Crayons and Croissants

Tomorrow is Pajama day for the entire school and Crayons and Croissants before the start of school at 8:15 in the LRC.  We look forward to some great participation! 

Thank you for the wonderful participation in PINK Day/ Anti-Bullying Day.  We also got to enjoy a great concert from the "Blues in School" program.  The kids were a great audience.

Also thank you for the work and participation that went into our 100 days of school celebration.  We had some wonderful projects that the students shared.  We also enjoyed a very fun snack and worked with our care-partners to make some fruit loop necklaces--that may or may not have made it home!    I greatly appreciated help from Dawn and Robina in this endeavour.

Mille Mercis!

Bravo!

Félicitations!  Bravo!  I am so proud of our kindergarten students and their performance today.  They did very well.  Thank you to all those who were able to attend and show support.  It is clear that our students have learned a lot; their voices carried very well and they knew their words well. 
Today we distributed Valentine’s cards in our community with our care-partners.  It was a great day.
Tomorrow is our last day before the Winter Break. We will be doing a Valentine craft with our care-partners and we will exchange Valentine’s cards with classmates.   Please refer to the list I sent in a previous email for names.
Thank you for all your support for this class and the learning we are doing!  I hope you all have a great  holiday!
Joyeuse Saint Valentin et Jour de famille!
 
MERCI!

Happy Chinese New Year!

Chers parents,

Happy Chinese New Year!  We had a great visit from our class monkey Simon le singe this morning to celebrate the year of the monkey.  He was our special friend.  He shared about his friend the snowy owl and the kids asked some good questions.

I want to send a couple of reminders before the break:

February 11th we are having our Kindergarten Winter Assembly at 9:00am in the gym.  It is also pajama day!  The kids are welcome to wear their pajamas to the assembly to be in the spirit of the day.

February 12th the children can exchange Valentine's Day cards and we will be having a visit with our cali-partnenaires.

Feb. 15-19th Winter Break

Feb. 22 Welcome Back
Feb. 23rd We will be celebrating 100 days of school.  Please remember to send along the 100 days project and a 100 days snack in a baggie.  Ideas for a project can be found on-line if you are needing help with brainstorming.  It can be simple and fun: buttons, ribbons, bottle caps, beads...

MERCI!

Alphabet song book

Chers parents,
An alphabet song book is going home today.  Your child can read and sing the words, sounds and letters on the pages up to the letter “P.”  The letters /songs are not in order so that the children can learn their letters individually.  We have begun working on sounds the letters make with other letters as well.  A couple of songs have different words in the songbooks than what we have practiced.  Either version is acceptable.  For example, your child might sing: “Benoît le beau bébé (2) se baigne dans sa baignoire avec son ballon bleu”—instead of “…avec son bleu bateau.”  Doing this overview is optional but it is good when your child can share what he or she is doing in class with you.  Please return the songbook on Monday in your child’s dossier as we will continue to do work on the songs in class.
 
Please remember—next week we have our assembly Thursday February 11th at 9:00am in the gym.  All our kindergarten students will be performing our winter songs for this.
After the break Tuesday February 23rdwe will celebrate 100 days of school.  Please bring a baggie with 100 small snack items to add to a bowl.  Your child can also bring a 100 days project that he or she has worked on—to share with the class. 
 
Merci!
