Hello JK parents!

We had a lot of fun celebrating St. Patrick's Day colours and the last of school before March Break!  Everyone looked great in green! The JK's decorated clovers using, green construction paper, glue and crayons for St. Patrick's Day.  Ms. Hou taught the students St. Patrick's Day vocabulary in French class.  We ended the day off with a dance party in the auditorium with the rest of the school!
To get the students excited about the next unit we will be learning more about:
Living Things (animals & plants)
Central Idea:
People interact with plants and animals in and out of their homes and take responsiblity for their well-being.
I am asking all the parents to bring in or email me a picture of your child with an animal that will be placed in our classroom and will be presented at the end of the unit.

Enjoy the March Break!
