Weekly Update #1


What a great first full week of school! We are finally starting to get into the swing of things and we are having a great time in Room 20 J. The following is a little weekly update about what we have been doing.

News Items:
We went to the library for the first time this week. Wednesdays will be our library day (library books should preferably be returned by Tuesday so that we have all of them on library day) and students will bring rotate between borrowing French and English books.
This Wednesday September 17th is our Meet the Teacher night from 6:00-7:00pm. As we have just met with most of you, please don’t feel you need to attend. However, if you were unable to make it to the intake interview, Mrs. Steeves and I will both be available to meet with you. We will be splitting our time between our kindergarten room and our Core French and ETFI rooms in order to meet those parents as well.

Inquiries:
This week, our students expressed interest in pond life (inspired I’m sure by our little pet frog) and creepy crawlies! Many different caterpillars and bugs made their way into our classroom and we observed them and asked lots of questions! More on that to come!

Outdoor Learning:
Outdoor learning centres were in French this week and began slowly as we introduced the program, the rules and our expectations. We collected nature items found in the yard and using large frames we wrote our names with the found items!

Home Connections:
We would love if you could work on lower case letters at home! We will be working on them in class as well and focusing on making sure we write our names using lower case letters.


We are so looking forward to the next week with the kiddos!
