Greetings Kindergarten Families!
We have been busy over the past few weeks. We have had our first Chinese classes, and we've started to learn about the Chinese New Year, which was January 23rd. This is the year of the Dragon, so we have made dragon puppets and illustrated some pictures.
We had a visit from the Vernon Preschool, during which the children shared a snack, did an art activity, and had choice time together. We were very impressed at how well our Kindergartners welcomed the Preschoolers, and wanted to play and share with them.
The children have been enjoying recess time in the snow! Please make sure your child comes to school each day with snow pants, boots, a hat, mittens or gloves, and a warm jacket. It is important to mark your child's name inside of clothing to avoid mix-ups! It would also be a good idea to keep an extra pair of sweat pants and socks in your child's backpack in case they get wet outside.
We will be sending home a class list for Valentines. Please send in a Valentine for each child in your child's class. You are welcome to send in a card for all 23 children if you wish. We will have Valentine's Day parties on February 14th- more details to come in a letter home.
We will enjoy a visit from the 4 Winds Program tomorrow, January 27th. Ask your children to tell you what they learned!
Remember to play the "Racing Bears" math game over the weekend!
Stay warm,
Kelly and Beth
