This week...

Well the first day of may is this week! I hope everyone enjoyed the beautiful spring like weather we had over the weekend.... I hope it continues!!

The playground is muddy with puddles. Rubber boots will make the kinders recess time more enjoyable, along with splash pants, instead of ski pants. The students are asked to stay out of the puddles so they don't have to sit in wet clothes all day. Please have a conversation with the kids about puddle safety and reinforce the idea that even when wearing rubber boots, you can still get wet. We talk about it before every recess, but the more reminders the better!

Hospital trip

Both classes had a great time at our tour of the Minnedosa hospital. There was lots of firsts, first bus ride, first time at the hospital, first time seeing the inside of an ambulance.....

A big thank you to our parent volunteers for making the trip with us as we'll as the hospital staff who planned a great tour for us. Mrs. Kreshewski and mr. Lalibertie were excellent hosts, and it was great for the kids to know that a hospital and the people are friendly and caring, and that a hospital is a place that we shouldn't be afraid of.

This week we will be making something special for the hospital and staff to show our appreciation.

Please check out the pics of our trips below:)

Hands on math. The shape of things and more, less or the same

Here are some pictures from some of our math periods this past week.

We talked about shapes in more detail and read the book " The Shape of Things"

We loved the pictures, and enjoyed looking at the classroom with the idea that everything was shapes.

The kinder's were asked to make their own pictures from shapes, and sit down with me when completed to talk about their picture, naming and counting the shapes used.


We also talked about ten frames this week and worked on the concepts of more, less or the same. The kids played an adapted version of war, using ten frames.

Hair cut pictures!

The gym was full of energy as the principal dual honoured their pledge to shave their heads if the 900 dollars was raised for the foster children!

Great job again to all the kinder's and their parents for being involved in our bake sale and for buying and donating toys!

The kids have spent time talking about needs and wants, and know with the money raised, two kids will get more of the needs required to live a better life.
