Bonjour!

The December calendar is going up on the blog this afternoon, so is the December homework. The homework will be due on Tuesday, December 17th. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to send me an e-mail.

Today with all of the excitement of crazy hat day and our art project, the students had a hard time listening and following instructions during transitions and our math activity. We had a class discussion about why it's important listen in school and how it's hard for me to plan fun activities if the students can't calm down or focus afterwards. During our discussion, the students recognized that their behaviour wasn't as good as it normally is and I'm proud of them for being honest in their self-reflections. These are skills that we learn and develop throughout Kindergarten and there will likely be many more conversations like this throughout the year!

We did not get a chance to cut out the hats and mittens that we painted today but they turned out really well and the students had a lot of fun doing the project! We will cut them out and hang them up next week. We also had centres, learned about the number 5, went to the gym, and read a story about listening.

I hop everyone has a wonderful week, stay warm!

Mme Emily

Bonjour! I apologize, I had computer trouble yesterday and my blog post wouldn't publish! In gym class this month, we will be doing a gymnastics unit. Today, the students learned how to dress appropriately so that they can participate safely. You should have received an email from M Trevor about this. 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!
