CLEAN UP
The children have been taking on increased responsibility in the classroom, and the jobs of Messenger, Personal Assistants, Host/Hostess, Line Leaders, and Zookeepers are the favourites. It has been lovely to see the community of Kindergarten learners taking shape as the children get to know one another and the expectations of learning and play at school.
Our Locker Monitors this week worked very diligently to help their classmates with packing and unpacking backpacks, and through the year we will continue to go through the “packing to go home steps” with the whole class.
BOOKWORM BAGS
Thanks so much for reminding your children to return them to school each day. They do occasionally go missing, or your child may set it down on their way out and have it inadvertently picked up by a classmate and they will inevitably be returned the next school day.
If I miss an item for the office that you have sent in a bookworm bag, please be assured that I will accept any and all responsibility for its timely turn in to the office. We may occasionally have student needs at each recess that prevent me from checking bookworm bags as thoroughly as I would like, though I endeavor to do so daily, as I know you do at home. It tends to become easier to do this as the Kindergarten year goes on.
SUBSTITUTE TEACHER, CONCERT & VOLUNTEERING
We were fortunate to have Mrs. Isaak in the Kindergarten classroom again this past Monday. She is an experienced and kind substitute, who indicated that the Fred Penner Concert was a lot of fun for the children. I apologize that in my absence I was unable to coordinate for advance collection of cupcake orders, or contact the parents that are willing to do classroom volunteering. We are all eager to have you volunteer in our classroom!
RICE KRISPIES
We “read”/ followed our first recipe to make “Rice Krispie Pumpkins” as a cooperative effort this week. Most of the “sculptures” were eaten “in progress”, though some were presented for show before being devoured!
