Update
Spring is finally here and we are busy in the classroom working on Spring-related themes: Spring vocabulary, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, and changing seasons. After March Break we will be starting a little classroom garden; the children will plant seeds and take care of their growing plants. We will also be starting a highly recommended new writing program called "Handwriting Without Tears" that the LKS Kindergarten teachers have purchased as a team, as part of our overall literacy and writing program. www.hwtears.com
The children will also be starting daily journals to encourage their writing skills and fine motor skills through printing and drawing pictures.
I have returned all the yellow homework phonics booklets that were handed in. Please encourage your child to complete the booklet so that they can be updated with our new Jolly Phonics letter-sounds.
I wish everyone a wonderful and safe March Break!

Update
Hello everyone
The 100th day party was fun today and the kids did a lot of crafts and fun activities. Thank you for sending 100 items with your children to show their friends.
The snuggle books didn’t go home today; Josie’s baby Ruth was sick with a fever. I hope little Ruth feels better soon. We’ll start a new series of snuggle books next week. Thank you so much Josie for all your help in spite of how busy you are – it is really appreciated.
Tomorrow is our Valentine’s Day Party and we will be doing several fun activities as well. Thank you to our parent volunteers for your help tomorrow.
Thank you as well to everyone who helped out with the skating event on Tuesday. The kids had fun!
Please remember to bring in a jar and matching lid for next week.
Warm regards,
Beverley

Reminders and Craft Idea
Hello everyone
Today's Olympic Presentation was a great success! Thank you again to Jackson's dad for taking the time to present this very special event.
A reminder that Tuesday, February 8 is Skating Day (9:15-10:15 a.m.). All children and volunteers on the ice must be wearing CSA approved hockey helmets.
Thursday, February 11 is our 100th Day Celebration and we will be doing lots of fun crafts and activities to celebrate this. Friday, February 12 is our Valentine's Party (10:30-11:45) and the children have been busy making crafts for that event as well.
Yesterday our JKs and SKs met their Reading Buddies from Mrs. Shklar's Grade 3 class. Her students will be reading to their Reading Buddies once a week (Day 2).
I would like to have the children replicate a craft that Alexandra made (on her own!) and brought in for Show and Tell: it is a "ship in a bottle" made of rice, plasticine, paper, and shells. The children loved it and I thought we could all make one before we say "bon voyage" for March Break. Please bring in a washed speghetti sauce-style jar with the lid. It should be about 400-500 ml in size.
We are still working on our booklets and have finished letters G and O in the phonics program. When your child has completed his/her small yellow phonics book at home, I will glue in the next set of phonics we have done. The children also have phonics books they work on in class.
Best regards,
Beverley
