Bonjour tout le monde!

Today marked the first day of the first full week of kindergarten! Our focus this week will be establishing classroom routines, getting to know each other, and introducing some basic French vocabulary words and phrases.

Purple folders were sent home with students today. Please ensure that you look at your child's folder daily and return to it school in their backpack as these folders will be used to send home student work, forms, important information, and notes from myself. You can use to folders to communicate with me as well.

If you need to reach me you can e-mail me at emmcmullen@cbe.ab.ca; I'll do my best to reply within 48 hours. If it is urgent, please contact the office.

I'm looking forward to a wonderful year of learning and fun!

Mme Emily

Bonjour! Clean up went much smoother today! Thank you to those of you who talked about cleaning up with their child. Your support at home helps things go smoothly at school. Today, we was Jour Violet. The students learned how to write the word "VIOLET" as a group and then worked independently in their journals. We had a visit from a woman from Lynne who works for Alberta Health Services. Mme Lynne talk the students about the major muscle groups of the body and did some movement exercises with them. The students played a movement game during which they pretended to be an egg, toast, bacon, and a table. They also practiced balancing on foot, running on the spot, and deep breathing. Ask your child to show you some of the moves they learned! I've added some videos below, enjoy!
