Le mois de mai

Chers parents, The lovely month of May is upon us! We have many activities that we are looking forward to. Please note that Friday, May 10th will be our Mother’s Day Tea. There will be a short program and sharing in tea time. If you cannot attend please send a special someone in your place. We will begin as soon as possible after 9am in the LRC. That evening is also the Family Fun Night! *Please note important dates on your calendar: There will be no school for all students May 17th (a Professional Development day) and May 20th Victoria Day. There will be no school for kindergarten students May 22nd. That is the date for or our Sneak-a-peek Teddy Bear’s Picnic for prospective kindergarten students. Currently we are finishing our Market poster and will begin a unit on dinosaurs. We are preparing for our Mother’s Day Tea and we are doing alphabet booklets and songs. Please note that there are new books on Voki on this blog. We have begun our work with Monica Barnett on Early Skills Development and that has been going very well in the classroom. *N.B. For your child's special day we are doing "La boîte mystère"; your child can bring one special object that fits inside the special box. Then the classmates ask "yes" or "no" questions in French. The children did very well today asking Mme Wallace questions! Spirit day is on Thursday and the theme is Sparkle and Shine! Thank you for your continued support! Mme Wallace

Newsletter for April

Chers parents,

It is good to see everyone again!  This class is full of bright lights and I am grateful for each one. Thank you for attending our conferences before the break and for being such a supportive group.  Although there are no more official conference times before the end of the school year, please know that you are welcome to contact me to discuss your child and his or her progress. 

We will continue our food theme this month and discuss springtime—le printemps.  (Maybe discussing spring will encourage its true arrival.)  We will also be taking part in a program called Early Skills Development.  We welcome a coordinator and trainer in the program to our class to help facilitate that.

Dates: Check the calendar for your child’s special day.  We will be discussing our favourite spring activities.

Please note that Friday May 10^th we will be having a Mother’s Day Tea for the mothers in our class. The students will send invitations, but I wanted to give you advance notice. Please book this time off if possible. If you cannot attend and there is a special auntie or Grandma who can be here, please arrange for that. We will have a special program for our moms and it means a lot if you be present.

We will also have a Sneak-a-Peek day for prospective kindergarten students in May.  Students will not be attending that day.   We will let you know that day as soon as possible.

In mid-June we will also attend the Children’s Festival.  We will let you know the date as soon as we have our tickets for a show.

On June 21^st we will be having our dad’s day. This day is when our school wide swim is scheduled but we do not plan a swim day for kindergarten. We will be going to the spray park on another day. Again if you cannot make it please see if there is a special uncle or grandpa who can attend.

*Please note we have a new MIMI poster. If you look at the link under MIMI Words entitled: le supermarché you will find the words with their images and recording of the word.
