Chers parents,
It is hard to believe it is already December!
Thank you to you all for making a point to come to the
activity conferences. The children were
so proud to have you there and to share with you what we have been
learning. It was wonderful to see such a
great turn-out. It is encouraging to
know that my students have such good support at home.
We have been working on our Pow-Wow poster. We have been learning about Canada and First
Nations’ culture. Today we started our
circle booklets and the kids came up with such great examples of circles in
nature: trees (rings in the trunks), flowers (centers), sun, moon, the Earth,
planets, fruits and the life cycle of grass.
We will hopefully be able to do a page each day in our booklets.
In math we will continue to work in our math workbooks and
in math centers as well.
For your child’s special day he or she is welcome to bring
an object, photo or drawing from a family tradition you might have. It can be a tradition around a special
holiday but it does not have to be.
I need to remind everyone to ensure that children are dressed
appropriately for the weather. Although
there will be indoor recesses when it is called for, we want to ensure that
students are prepared to go outside.
Please spend time at home teaching your child how to zip his or her coat,
ski pants and put on boots and mittens.
While it may be quick to do your child’s outdoor clothing for them at
home, their independence is crucial at school.
Fostering independence at home reaps great benefits! I have recess supervision and our EA is only
available after recess. We have many
students. I assist the children as much
as possible but teaching them to do this is a great help for everyone and they
become quite proud of their skills.
Thanks for your help with this!
Please remember Thursdays is our day to exchange. The students enjoy getting new books.
MERCI!
Mme Jennifer Wallace
