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.
