Kindness in Kindergarten

Today we had gym with Mr. Der. We learned different ways to move around the gym and played the harvest game to work on our locomotor skills. We also read the book “What Does It Mean To Be Kind?” by Rana DiOrio and discussed how we can make our classroom a more kind environment. We are all writers in Kindergarten and had the opportunity to draw in our writing journals about nature. Our "Happiness Museum" started this week with the green group bringing an item that makes each one of them happy. A notice went home for the red and blue groups regarding when their turn is to share. The yellow group will share the first week of October.

Important Updates and Reminders:

Snack time happens during centres. This means that your child may not choose to eat everyday. Please remember to send one small snack to school that they can quickly eat.

A reminder that city bylaw states that No Dogs are allowed on school grounds, playgrounds and sports fields. While on a pathway, your dog must be on a leash.

Picture day will be Monday, September 24th.

Please return completed forms back and folders back to us as soon as possible.

Please do not cut across the field when bringing afternoon Kindergarten students to school. At this time, all the other students are out in the field for their lunch recess. The CBE safety protocol requires that parents only access the school on paved sidewalks and stairways. We know that this poses a challenge for parents/caregivers with strollers and would ask that you use the grass by the stairs at the front of the school to access the compound. This will ensure that all students on the playground are safe under lunchroom supervisor care, as they do not readily recognize parents from strangers.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
