Venn Diagrams

Today in Kindergarten we collaborated in our animal groups to create Venn diagrams. We used our diagrams to compare what we have learned about great horned owls, grizzly bears, moose, and wolves to what we learned about birds. We encourage you to create a venn diagram with your child comparing any two things of your choice! We also had literacy centers, where students played Beginning Sound Bingo, Kaboom!, used the iPads, and unscrambled mixed-up sentences. The AM group got to participate in Just Dance in the gym, and the PM group got to try out the climbing wall. 

In an effort to be more environmentally friendly and discourage waste of food, we are encouraging students to bring litter-less snacks from home. Going forward, students will be bringing home any garbage and left over food home in their snack kits. Here is an example from today:

- There is no school tomorrow for AM Kindergarten. PM Kindergarten will be going on a community walk tomorrow. Please dress your child appropriately for the weather, as we will be outside for about an hour.

- 'I Am Unique' forms were sent home with your child at the beginning of the week. Please go through and fill out this form with your child, and choose a baby picture that your child would like to share with the class. We will begin sharing next Tuesday, March 16th!

- 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. 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 AM Kindergarten.
