Hello JK parents!

I hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend!  We started the day off with a Sharing Circle, as the students were very eager to share what they did over the long weekend.  Also, I had sent an email to all the parents to let everyone know that my due date has been pushed up and my last day will be Friday, June 9th, 2017.  I will make sure that report cards will be done before I leave and there will be a supply teacher that will cover the last week of school.
Here are a few things we did today:
Daily 5-The JK's enjoyed exploring books today in the Book Area, we also played a game of I Spy around the classroom using letter names and sounds.
Language/UOI-The students practiced their early reading skills and had to classify pictures of animals.  The JK's had to review what they had learned about the different characteristics of Mammals and Reptiles to determine which animal belonged in which column.

Reminders:
-Arts Night will be June 7th.  As part of the JK performance, we would like to ask parents to dress the students in bright colours and to be wearing an Afro wig (70's theme).
-Please bring in Creature Quest forms and money by May 25th if you would like your child to participate.  Creature Quest will be visiting our school on June 2nd.
-Scholastic Book orders and money are due May 29th.
-Casual Day is on May 31st.
