Dear families,
Happy Father's Day to all the dads of Room 166! I hope you are having a nice weekend with your family.
Last week we finished our unit on safety and reviewed safety at home, by the water, at the cottage, on the road, in the park, and when to dial 9-1-1. We also celebrated Luca's, Olivia's and Sophie's birthdays! We read with our Reading Buddies and toured their Ancient Egypt exhibit. The children also continued having a great time "camping" in our camp site centre.
The JKs wrote a little book called "I learned..." and the SKs wrote "I would like to tell my Grade One teacher..." and drew a picture. Cute! The children also completed their last assessment - their June calendar and "This is me in June" written work. The SK children also finished their "The Very Happy Senior Kindergartener" booklet. Look for all this work in this Thursday's white bag.
The children also did a wonderful job singing at the last Sharing Assembly! Congratulations to Elizabeth, Jack, and Olivia for receiving certificates for Perseverance. Wonderful effort!
In your child's white bag this week is the completed unit on Safety, their beautiful art and writing from our Inquiry on Lilacs, a list of 100 sight words to practise over the summer, and a list of Summer Words that the children can read and draw accompanying pictures. There is also the last few sets of popcorn words: LOVE, GET, AS, NEW, WHAT and JUMP. Their homework is to complete the WHAT mini book.
Thank you so much to Stella's family who offered to take care of Bubbles the Beta Fish over the summer!!!
Thank you to Iris' mom who was the Mystery Reader, and to Lauren's mom who helped in the Computer Lab.
Next week we'll do a fun little reading and writing unit on how to make a pizza since Thursday is Pizza lunch on the lawn. Please see the latest Parent Council email for information on Lunch on the Lawn. If you are going to be absent next week please let me know so that I can ensure your child's work and year end gift make it home. Thank you.
I have almost finished making the DVD for the Senior kindergarten Graduation on Wednesday morning! I am really looking forward to celebrating that day with the Senior children and their parents. Don't forget to bring a camera!
I hope you have a terrific week!
