Loose Parts Habitats

It was a creative Tuesday in Kindergarten. We used loose parts, plasticine, paper, and other things to build our animal habitats. We also went outside to play and enjoy the beautiful weather. We also had literacy centres where we played new games such as "alphabet slides and ladders", "kaboom!", and "roll it". We had fun snack and the afternoon students enjoyed a fun three little pigs reader's theatre performed by some grade 3/4 students. We also learned a new song called, "Going On A Community Walk." We used all the yogurt lids for our mini habitats- thank you to everyone who sent them in. Please continue sending us stuff for our upcoming ice cream store! 

- Ask your child what their current secret mission is. 
- Ask your child to describe what their habitats looked like. 
- Do not forget to complete home reading and read another book for 15 minutes. 
- Practice cutting shapes and other images from newspapers and flyers at home. 
- Fill out the "I Am Unique" questionnaire at home with your child and send it back to us by Monday, April 15. Please find a baby picture together as well and send it with the questionnaire as well. Thanks!

Please read carefully for important updates:
- We will be sending out an email about swimming later this week so please watch your emails. Thank you.

- We are going to be creating our very first Eric Harvie School ice cream parlour in Kindergarten. We are looking for things like empty and clean ice cream containers (pint sized) with the lid, old plastic spice jars, ice cream scoops, pompoms, and other relevant things. Please feel free to email us if you have anything else you would like to donate. 

- We sent home questionnaires about your child today. Please fill them out at home with your child and send it back to us by Monday, April 15. Please find a baby picture together as well and send it with the questionnaire. Your child will be sharing them with other students and we look forward to learning more about each child.

- We are beginning to collect writing tools in our classroom (highlighters, pens, mechanical pencils, markers, sharpies, all writing tool lids, etc.) to recycle them. Please feel free to send us any dried up or no longer useable writing tools you may have at home. Thank you. 

- A new sign up genius for upcoming swimming lessons [April 16, 17, 18, (Tuesday-Thursday) and 23, 24 (Tuesday- Wednesday)] has been created. You must have a valid police clearance done through our school. Please sign up using this link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70A0E4CA8A82CA2FF2-kindergarten

- PM Kindergarten students will be going on a community walk on Friday, April 12. Please ensure your child is dressed appropriately for the weather with proper footwear. There is no school next Friday for PM Kindergarten.
