<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Chers parents,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Bonjour!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I would like
to thank you all, parents and students for a great start to the school
year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am happy to say that we have all
our consent forms in and our kids are always ready and happy to start our day
at school.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thank you also for your
understanding with my absence at Meet the Staff and enjoyed touching base with
you on the phone and for the messages.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
look forward to working with you all.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
would like to give you some dates to help us with some upcoming events:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">EVERY Tuesday</b> we
will be exchanging library books.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That
is tomorrow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Please send your child’s
library book in the plastic book bag and we will get the books out that day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I already had some books handed in this
morning and that is great.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Thursday, September
29<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup> it will be Terry Fox Run day</b>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(It is also <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">red day</b> for our class—la couleur rouge. I will explain that
below*)We will be learning a bit about who Terry Fox was and we will be raising
funds for cancer research.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the past
few years we have had stickers that say: I am running for_____________.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you have someone affected by cancer and
wish to explain that a bit to your child you can do that prior to that
day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We will run in our field back and
forth for a specific time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">*Because we our learning colours in French will be starting
to wear specific colour on colour days as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I thought that on that <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">Thursday
Sept 29<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup> we could all wear red</span></b> to remind us of how Terry sought
to run across Canada. We can show our pride in what he accomplished and the
amazing fundraising that has continued because of what he did over 35 years
ago.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Friday, September 30<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup>
we will be wearing orange</span></b> and walking to the Oskayak Pow Wow. This is a day
of remembrance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Phyllis <span lang="EN" style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Webstad,</span> (also from B.C. like Terry Fox), is the reason for wearing
orange.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Phyllis, a First Nations girl,
was taken from her family at 6 years old to go to residential school.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She wore a special new shirt—orange for her
first day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That shirt was taken from
her and she was given a uniform to wear.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Much more was stripped from First Nations children in our Canadian
history and we will remember what they went through and honour their
experiences on that day. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="FR-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">September 2, 2016<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span lang="FR-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">Chers parents,<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<b><span lang="FR-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">Bonjour et bienvenue à
la maternelle! </span>Welcome to kindergarten!</b> This is an exciting time for
kindergarten students and their families. I look forward to getting to know you
and your children better. Let me introduce myself.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
My name is Jennifer Wallace. I first came to École Victoria at the beginning
of January 2009; I previously taught French Immersion Kindergarten, arts
education, and grades 7/8 at École Rivers Heights School from 2000-2007. I am
very pleased to be working in this community and I have two children who are
also attending here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have wonderful
staff and students at École Victoria and I am glad that I am a part of this
school.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am excited about starting
this year.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
I hope you will find the following information about classroom procedures
helpful:<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<b>BELONGINGS:</b> Please label all your child's belongings that come to
school including sweaters, hats, mitts, jackets, knapsacks and especially
runners and boots.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Please send shoes
that have <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">velcro</b> rather than lace-ups.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This makes getting in and out for recess much
easier.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Please send a set of extra
clothes: shirt, pants, underwear and socks labeled in a bag to be left in your
child’s locker. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">*A couple of items were
omitted from our supply list in the welcome booklet: a box of 24 crayons and a
box of tissues/Kleenex.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Please forgive
the oversight.<o:p></o:p></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE:</b> If you
are dropping off or picking up your child, please use the front entrance. If
you arrive early for the start of class the expectation is for students to wait
outside on the supervised playground until the bell has gone. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">I cannot supervise your child before school
hours as I have to prepare for the day.<o:p></o:p></b><br />
<br />
If your child takes the bus, please remember to contact your child's bus
driver if he or she does not need transportation on a certain day. We will be
sure that all bus students are safely on the bus at the end of the kindergarten
day. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Please let me know in a note as
well if there are changes</b>.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<b>ABSENCES:</b> If your child will not be attending school or if there is
any change in the normal routine, please call the school to let us know.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<b>BIRTHDAYS: </b>If your child is having a birthday and you wish to send a
snack for the class, please let me know in advance. Children with summer
birthdays may wish to celebrate their "half birthday" (i.e. July
16th= January 16th). Please send a note in advance so that time can be set
aside on that day. <b><i>*It is very important to let me know if your child has
allergies so that others parents and teachers can be made aware of this. Please
do not send snacks or treats containing nuts or nut products.*</i></b><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<b>SNACKS: </b>Your child should bring a small nutritious snack to school.
Some suggestions include apple slices (half is usually plenty) or other fruit,
a piece of cheese, crackers, carrot sticks, raisins, an oatmeal cookie, granola
bar or a small muffin. For drinks, please send water bottles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you wish to send juice, please use a
reusable Rubbermaid drink box or other similar spill-proof drink box.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<b><o:p> </o:p></b><br />
<br />
<b><o:p> </o:p></b><br />
<br />
<b><o:p> </o:p></b><br />
<br />
<b>COMMUNICATION:</b> Your child’s two-pocket folder or “dossier” which will
be used as the primary method of communication between home and school. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">A plastic pocket folder</b> often works
best for this as it lasts longer but a regular folder is fine. Please check
your child's dossier each day and remove everything from the pocket. For
example, a t-shirt letter will be sent home with this letter to indicate your
child's upcoming special day. If you wish to return forms or send a note/letter
for our attention, please place them in the pocket. Please return the dossier
to your child's backpack each day. I can also be contacted by e-mail: <a href="mailto:wallacej@spsd.sk.ca"><span style="color: blue;">wallacej@spsd.sk.ca</span></a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I also have a classroom blog: <a href="http://lamagiedelamaternelle2.blogspot.ca/"><span style="color: blue;">http://lamagiedelamaternelle2.blogspot.ca</span></a><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
At the beginning of each month your child will receive a class calendar and
newsletter. If you have any questions or concerns, please call the school
(306-683-7470). If I am not available at the time of your call, you can email
me at the address above. Good communication from home and school is an
essential part of any successful classroom! <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<b>PARENT VOLUNTEERS:</b> I always welcome parent involvement. Volunteers
are especially needed on out of school excursions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Please
complete a police record check; forms are available at the front office</b>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I will inform parents as soon as possible of
outings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you have a project, cultural
experience, a special talent or a story, please feel free to come and share
that with our kindergarten class.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am
also looking for a parent to act as room parent for our Home and School
Association. Please let me know if you are interested in this position. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<b>LITERACY FOR LIFE:</b> We have received extensive training for our
Literacy for Life initiative. This includes a program called <a href="http://schools.spsd.sk.ca/riverheights/classes-staff/wallace/pwim.htm"><span style="color: blue;">PWIM
(Picture Word Inductive Model) or MIMI (Méthode Inductive de Mots Illustrés)</span></a>.
MIMI and phonics strategies are integrated into our program in learning the
alphabet and learning to read. In addition to <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">MIMI</b>, I encourage students to read at home, (or be read to) on a
daily basis. In kindergarten, a child reads a book in his or her own way (by
memory, inventive storytelling, along with pictures.) I encourage parents to
try reading with your child for 20 minutes at home each day. <o:p></o:p><br />

day—on which he or she can bring a baby photo.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>For the colour days children can wear the designated colour on that

days ahead! We are looking forward to seeing <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">all</b> our kindergarten students again on September the 9<sup>th</sup>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bonne Rentrée!<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Chers parents,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">We are looking forward to the month of May as we look back
on some wonderful activities we did in April.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We had a great restaurant simulation this week with our care partners.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The kindergarten students did quite well
ordering food in French and being customers as our care partner class served
and welcomed us to the restaurant.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
also enjoyed an artist workshop that spanned two sessions with local artists
and personal friends, Phil Rivard and Marlys Vango Rivard.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We painted still life bowls of fruit and
learned about shadows and light, composition, realism, abstract, impressionism,
(even a nod to Fauvism).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The finished
products are on display in the glass cases in the LRC.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a great experience.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This past month we were able to take home
some homemade cardboard pizzas and learned about toppings and fractions while
doing so.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A big thanks to Little
Ceasar’s in Stonebridge for the donation of boxes to make the craft
complete!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We enjoyed learning and
singing “Je suis une pizza” as part of that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>April 22<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">nd</span></sup> was Earth Day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We watched the original video narration of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Lorax</i> and on Earth Day we participated in cleaning up some of
the school yard with Mme McCrea’s class.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It was so good to see our class eager to help out and contribute to
making our school yard better.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">We will be enjoying a few upcoming special events.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Tuesday May 3<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">rd</span></sup> we will be going
to The Roxy Theatre for a film entitled “Le Manoir Magique.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We will be leaving at 9:00am and returning
after 11:00am.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The following day we will
be having our <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Mother’s Day Tea,
Wednesday May 4<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup> at 9am-9:45</b> in the LRC.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The students have been working very hard on
their gifts as well as practicing for the short performance we will be
giving.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We will have more field trips
and special events in June as well that I will let you know about.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">For your child’s special day this month we will share about an
activity we love to do with mom, auntie or grandma.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Please remember that this is not a time to
bring toys but rather a chance for our class to get to know each student better
through some questions and answers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">A newsletter went home today about an occurrence of
lice; to help prevent the spread we will not be using the dress up clothes in
the classroom for the time being.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Hopefully this will help.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I would
like to remind parents and students while all the road work is being done to
please use the crosswalks when picking up and dropping off students, rather
than crossing in the middle of the street.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>As I have been on bus supervision I have seen some close calls and it
has been quite worrisome.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hopefully as a

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Chers parents,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We have a wonderful month of activities ahead.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Please check your calendars that were sent home. For your child's special day he or she can talk about a favourite springtime activity. </span>We are continuing our unit on food and
nutrition.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Today we explored the effects
of vinegar (which contains acid) on an eggshell.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was great to see the reactions of the
children to what happened with the egg in the course of one day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We recently worked on a placemat for our
restaurant simulation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We will be
working on putting words on the foods the children want to order.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On the 23<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">rd</span></sup> we will have our
restaurant experience.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The kindergarten
class will be the customers and our care-partners will be the restaurant
workers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We will be eating a shared
snacked of a party mix and have juice boxes for a drink.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Tomorrow we are looking forward to baking
cookies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We will have some as a snack as
well. Thank you to our two parent volunteers, Robina Hanif and Dawn Martens-Koop
for helping with this endeavour.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We will
also be going to Extra Foods for a tour next week Wednesday.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thank you to Dawn and Robina for volunteering
for this as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is room for more
if you would like to join us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Next week
we have some guest artists who will help us as we have an artist workshop doing
still life paintings of a bowl of fruit. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Every year I have done a Mother’s Day/Spring Tea in honour
of Mother’s Day and a Dad’s Day/ Play Day in honour of Father’s Day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Mother’s Day tea will take place Friday
May 6<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup> at 9am-10:30 in the LRC.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>If you are unable to attend this event and can send another special
adult in your stead (a dad, grandparent or that would be great).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is a special time that we like to share
with the children and the adults.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For
the play day if you are unable to attend another adult is also welcome to join.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Dad’s Day/Play Day takes place in the gym
in June (also from 9am-10:30am) when the rest of the school is at a swimming
pool.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I will let you the date as soon as
that is known.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We will have more field trips in May and June as well that I
will let you know about.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is exciting
to take part in these activities!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We have been having great sharing times that include
experiences that students have had with Solange and Simon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thank you for taking this on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The children have been really enjoying their
time with the monkeys.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We are looking forward to more spring fun!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

We look forward to some great participation! <br />
<br />
Thank you for the wonderful participation in PINK Day/ Anti-Bullying Day. We also got to enjoy a great concert from the "Blues in School" program. The kids were a great audience.<br />
<br />
Also thank you for the work and participation that went into our <em>100 days of school </em>celebration. We had some wonderful projects that the students shared. We also enjoyed a very fun snack and worked with our care-partners to make some fruit loop necklaces--that may or may not have made it home! I greatly appreciated help from Dawn and Robina in this endeavour.<br />

<br />
Happy Chinese New Year! We had a great visit from our class monkey Simon le singe this morning to celebrate the year of the monkey. He was our special friend. He shared about his friend the snowy owl and the kids asked some good questions.<br />
<br />
I want to send a couple of reminders before the break:<br />
<br />
<strong>February 11th </strong>we are having our Kindergarten Winter Assembly at 9:00am in the gym. It is also <strong>pajama day</strong>! The kids are welcome to wear their pajamas to the assembly to be in the spirit of the day.<br />
<br />
February 12th the children can exchange Valentine's Day cards and we will be having a visit with our cali-partnenaires.<br />
<br />
Feb. 15-19th Winter Break<br />
<br />
Feb. 22 Welcome Back<br />
<strong>Feb. 23rd </strong>We will be celebrating <strong>100 days of school</strong>. Please remember to send along the 100 days project and a 100 days snack in a baggie. Ideas for a project can be found on-line if you are needing help with brainstorming. It can be simple and fun: buttons, ribbons, bottle caps, beads...<br />
<br />
MERCI!<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">An alphabet song book is going home today.<span> </span>Your child can read and sing the words, sounds and letters on the pages up to the letter “P.”<span> </span>The letters /songs are not in order so that the children can learn their letters individually.<span> </span>We have begun working on sounds the letters make with other letters as well.<span> </span>A couple of songs have different words in the songbooks than what we have practiced.<span> </span>Either version is acceptable.<span> </span>For example, your child might sing: “Benoît le beau bébé (2) se baigne dans sa baignoire avec son ballon bleu”—instead of “…avec son bleu bateau.”<span> </span>Doing this overview is optional but it is good when your child can share what he or she is doing in class with you.<span> </span><b>Please return the songbook on Monday in your child’s dossier as we will continue to do work on the songs in class.</b></span></span></div>

Salut! Tomorrow is beach day. Students can dress (under their winter gear) in clothes for the beach--no swimsuits however please. Sun hats, shorts, sundresses, t-shirts, sunglasses... We will bring some sun to our school on a cold day. Please ensure that your child still has appropriate clothing for recess.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
In class we have been exploring and predicting doing experiments with water. Our science experiments take place on Tuesdays. We have completed our alphabet testing in French this past week and a lot of progress has been made--Bravo! We are also learning new alphabet songs for each letter and the sounds each one makes. In math we have been learning about bigger than, smaller than and equal to (<, >, =). We finished a booklet entitled <span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><i>Où sont mes mitaines? </i></span><span style="font-size: x-small;">We will share them with our cali-partenaires during reading time today and the students will bring them home. </span>We have been sharing about our favourite winter activities and have been learning some songs for our assembly. I will get the date finalized and have that for you soon. In February, on the Tuesday after the break, we will be celebrating 100 days of school. If your child would like to do an 100 days project at home and bring it to present in February that would be great. I will explain the project in the days to come.</div>

Chers parents, <br />
I wanted to say <em>Merci!</em> to you all for the lovely gifts and cards.
It was very kind, thoughtful and heartwarming. One thing I love about teaching
kindergarten is all the hugs I get--so grateful for that especially today! May
you all enjoy a peaceful and fun break with family and friends. I look forward
to seeing you in 2016!<br />
Meilleurs voeux pour les vacances!<br />

Today we walked to McQuarrie's Tea and Coffee. We learned a lot from Ms. Darcy about the display and the veterans who fought. Tomorrow morning we will be having a Remembrance Day service in the
gym around 10:30 am. We would like to remind parents and students that there will be no clapping as we pay our respects and honour those who died in wars. Wednesday is Remembrance Day there is no school. Thursday and Friday
there is no school for students as there is planning and learning for staff. </span></span></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-CA">Chers parents,</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA"><o:p> Welcome back from the Thanksgiving long weekend. We trust that everyone had a wonderful break. T</o:p></span><span lang="EN-CA">he month of October is flying by! Thank
you to the parents who joined us at Pooh Corner last week. We had a beautiful
day for a walk and a great time with the staff from the Frances Morrison
Library. Thanks to everyone for participating in our colour days as well. Today we were truly <strong><em><span style="color: #0b5394;">bleu</span></em></strong> because we forgot to take a class photo and we had such great participation. We managed to get some individual photos as the children were dismissed. Please note the colour days below. The students have been so good at doing nice things for each other that our
bucket is full of pompoms already. We had a great day today as well as we worked on circle booklets with Mme Wettlaufer and favourite books for sharing times. To celebrate our bucket full we are having a games period on
Thursday October 15<sup>th</sup>. <em><strong>The students can bring their favourite board games or card games to
class that day if they want. Please ensure the games are well labeled.</strong></em> After Thursday, we will be encouraging the
students to practice more speaking in French and adding pom poms to the bucket for that as well. Some of the students have already
started, but it will be a regular focus in the next few months. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
We will also visit with our care partners--<em>les cali-partenaires</em> on Thursday. <br />
<br />
Mme Wettlaufer is also full-time teaching in our classroom as well. You are always welcome to contact either one of us with any questions or concerns. <br />
<br />
We have much to be grateful<em>--reconnaissant (es)</em> for. <br />
<br />
Thank you for all your support!<br />
Merci pour votre soutien,<br />
<br />
Mme Wallace et Mme Wettlaufer<br />

<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 13pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Thank you to our parent volunteers for your help with our
visit to the PowWow at Oskayak High School. We had fantastic weather for a walk
outside! We truly enjoyed the bright colourful outfits—regalia--of the dancers
as well as the songs from the drummers. We all got to participate in the
intertribal dances as well when all are invited to join the dancing! We also went
inside the Tipi at the PowWow as a group and got to learn from one of the young
dancers some learnings about the Tipi. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

colour. They can also bring something that is the chosen colour to share and
make into a collage. (Please do not buy new things or clothing for these colour
days). On your child’s special day this month, we ask that your child
bring their favourite book so we can share it with the class. We will be
walking to Pooh Corner at Frances Morrison Library next Wednesday, October 7<sup>th</sup>.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA">On Thursday of this week, we learned about
families and how we are all different but special and unique. We talked about various
family members as part of our “All About Me” unit. The students are doing so
well with our classroom routines and learning projects. In preparation for our
trip to the Oskayak PowWow next week and as part of our unit, we explained the
importance of the circle to our First Nations families and held a “Circle Talk”
with the students. For this activity, everyone sits in a circle and an artifact
is passed around (in this case it was a “talking stick”). When the artifact is
passed to you, you may share with the group, but the only one allowed to speak
at all during the circle time is the person who has the stick. We asked the
students to share something that they enjoyed doing with their families. All of
students followed the rules perfectly and no one spoke out of turn. Mme Wallace
and I were so pleased! We are so proud of our students!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are looking forward to experiencing the
wonderful traditions at the PowWow on our field trip on September 25<sup>th</sup>!

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We are filling our class bucket and we are using pompoms to
fill it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Unfortunately I did not have
enough pompoms in our craft cupboard and some are too small and it will take
much too long to fill.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I started making pompoms
and made some with some students during center time as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you have some time, some yarn and want to contribute to our class...we would love more pompoms.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can teach your kids but it will take time

<span lang="FR-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;"><span style="color: black;">September 2-4th 2015<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<span lang="FR-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;"><span style="color: black;">Chers parents,<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b><span lang="FR-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">Bonjour et bienvenue à
la maternelle! </span>Welcome to kindergarten!</b> This is an exciting time for
kindergarten students and their families. We look forward to getting to know
you and your children better. Let us introduce ourselves.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black;">My name is Jennifer Wallace. I first came to École Victoria at the beginning
of January 2009; I previously taught French Immersion Kindergarten, arts
education, and grades 7/8 at École Rivers Heights School from 2000-2007. I am
very pleased to be working in this community and I have two children who are
also attending here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have wonderful
staff and students at École Victoria and I am glad that I am a part of this
school.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am excited about starting
this year.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black;">My name is Barb Wettlaufer and will be working with Jennifer as an intern
until December. I am in my 4<sup>th</sup> year of Education, looking forward to
graduating as a teacher in April 2016. I am so excited to be spending my
internship at École Victoria as I work on strengthening my French language
skills. I look very forward to meeting you and your children.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black;">I hope you will find the following information about classroom procedures
helpful:<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>BELONGINGS:</b> Please label all your child's belongings that come to
school including sweaters, hats, mitts, jackets, knapsacks and especially
runners and boots.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Please send shoes
that have <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">velcro</b> rather than lace-ups.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This makes getting in and out for recess much
easier.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE:</b> If you are dropping off or picking up your
child, please use the front entrance. If you arrive early for the start of
class the expectation is for students to wait outside on the supervised
playground until the bell has gone. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">I
cannot supervise your child before school hours as I have to prepare for the
day.<o:p></o:p></b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black;">If your child takes the bus, please remember to contact your child's bus
driver if he or she does not need transportation on a certain day. We will be
sure that all bus students are safely on the bus at the end of the kindergarten
day. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Please let me know in a note as
well if there are changes</b>.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>ABSENCES:</b> If your child will not be attending school or if there is
any change in the normal routine, please call the school to let us know.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>BIRTHDAYS: </b>If your child is having a birthday and you wish to send a
snack for the class, please let me know in advance. Children with summer
birthdays may wish to celebrate their "half birthday" (i.e. July
16th= January 16th). Please send a note in advance so that time can be set
aside on that day. <b><i>*It is very important to let me know if your child has
allergies so that others parents and teachers can be made aware of this. Please
do not send snacks or treats containing nuts or nut products.*</i></b><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>SNACKS: </b>Your child should bring a small nutritious snack to school.
Some suggestions include apple slices (half is usually plenty) or other fruit,
a piece of cheese, crackers, carrot sticks, raisins, an oatmeal cookie, granola
bar or a small muffin. For drinks, please send water bottles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you wish to send juice, please use a
reusable Rubbermaid drink box or other similar spill-proof drink box.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<b><o:p><span style="color: black;"> </span></o:p></b><br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>COMMUNICATION:</b> Your child’s two-pocket folder or “dossier” which will
be used as the primary method of communication between home and school. Please
check your child's dossier each day and remove everything from the pocket. For
example, a t-shirt letter will be sent home with this letter to indicate your
child's upcoming special day. If you wish to return forms or send a note/letter
for our attention, please place them in the pocket. Please return the dossier
to your child's backpack each day. I can also be contacted by e-mail: </span><a href="mailto:wallacej@spsd.sk.ca"><span style="color: black;">wallacej@spsd.sk.ca</span></a><span style="color: black;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I also have a classroom blog: </span><a href="http://lamagiedelamaternelle2.blogspot.ca/"><span style="color: black;">http://lamagiedelamaternelle2.blogspot.ca</span></a><o:p></o:p><br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black;">At the beginning of each month your child will receive a class calendar and
newsletter. If you have any questions or concerns, please call the school
(306-683-7470). If I am not available at the time of your call, I will return
your call as soon as possible or you can email me at the address above. Good
communication from home and school is an essential part of any successful
classroom! <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>PARENT VOLUNTEERS:</b> I always welcome parent involvement. Volunteers
are especially needed on out of school excursions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Please
complete a police record check; forms are available at the front office</b>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I will inform parents as soon as possible of
outings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you have a project, cultural
experience, a special talent or a story, please feel free to come and share
that with our kindergarten class.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am
also looking for a parent to act as room parent for our Home and School
Association. Please let me know if you are interested in this position. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>LITERACY FOR LIFE:</b> We have received extensive training for our
Literacy for Life initiative. This includes a program called PWIM
(Picture Word Inductive Model) or MIMI (Méthode Inductive de Mots Illustrés).
MIMI and phonics strategies are integrated into our program in learning the
alphabet and learning to read. In addition to <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">MIMI</b>, I encourage students to read at home, (or be read to) on a
daily basis. In kindergarten, a child reads a book in his or her own way (by
memory, inventive storytelling, along with pictures.) I encourage parents to
try reading with your child for 20 minutes at home each day. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

There was a farewell assembly that included goodbyes to some staff and grade eight students. There was also a slideshow for the school and a bit of dancing. When we returned to class we enjoyed snack time with an extra snack of homemade cookies from a fellow student. Then we headed outside for an extended recess. We returned to the class to watch a slideshow DVD of our class. A copy of the DVD is in your child's report card envelope. We ended on the song, "Happy!" Although there were some tears too. For those who were done watching we played a game of silent ball with our soft globe.<br />
<br />
It was quite a year! We had a busy and large kindergarten class and I was so grateful for all the support I received from you. Our field trips were a great success because I had wonderful parental support. The special days including our special events were also successful because you were a part of them. MERCI! <br />
<br />
I would also like to thank you all for the generous gifts I received today. I was blown away by the cards your children wrote and the beautiful gifts. I will be treating myself this summer thanks to you all! <br />
<br />
I hope that you all have a fun and relaxing summer and I look forward to seeing most of your kids in the hallways in September.<br />
<br />
<br />
MERCI!<br />

Please send a hat and appropriate footwear as well as a towel and sunscreen applied. Children can have clothing over their swimsuits when they arrange at school. We will be walking there and back. <br />

Thank you for the great participation and the spirit of fun everyone brought to the gym today for our Dad's Day celebration. Your presence was much appreciated by the kids and by me. I want to wish all the dads a Happy Father's Day and to our First Nations brothers and sisters Happy Aboriginal Day on February 21st! It is great to belong to this community and this school.
