Bonjour!

Today, we had our Teacher's Pet in-school field trip! The theme of the event was how we are each unique. Students discussed a variety of different physical and personal attributes and made posters that featured a paper self-portrait, their interests, and different ways they can describe who they are (brother, artist, daughter, friend, etc...) In kindergarten, our social studies program is focused on how we are each unique and developing a sense of belonging in the our class, the school, the greater community, and our families. Thank you again to our volunteers; you were a great help and I hope you enjoyed spending some time in our classroom.

We also had a fire drill today and I'm proud to say that the kindergarten students were exceptionally well-behaved!

Below are some pictures from our event today. Have a wonderful weekend!

Below are the suggestions that were discussed the students today: - tie up long hair - avoid wearing hoodies, dresses, or skirts - wear pants that allow for a wide range of movement such as leggings, sweat pants, or track pants Thank you for your help and cooperation with this! Today, we continued practicing how to move and hold our bodies in a controlled manner. Students played a game of dance and freeze. When the music stopped, students had to freeze and maintain their balance in a pose. In French, we practiced some new animal vocabulary in order to help students with their January homework. We also introduced a new song called "La belle pieuvre", which can

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!
