Lucie Lutin!

Bonjour les amis!  Look who Mme Godin found sitting in her Christmas tree when I went to put the Christmas lights on early this morning.  It's Lucie Lutin.  She wanted to let you know that there are only 2 more sleeps until Christmas!

I HOPE THAT YOU AND  YOUR FAMILIES ALL HAVE A MAGICAL CHRISTMAS SEASON!!!

Mme Godin

Lucie Lutin!

The boys and girls were very disappointed when Lucie was no where to be found in our classroom on our last day of school before winter break.  That is until someone had to use the bathroom and discovered her hiding in one of the cabinets with a small gift for the students.  There are only 5 more sleeps until Christmas!

This Week in Kindergarten!

On Monday, the boys and girls wore something white to school.

They made these very special name snowmen.

We did some problem solving activities on the SMARTboard.  If there are 4 reindeer how many noses are there in all?  How many antlers are there in all?  How many legs are there in all?, etc.

On Tuesday, we wore green and decorated popsicle stick Christmas trees.  Le groupe 1.

Le groupe 4.

Le groupe 2.

Trying to print numbers on the SMARTboard is very, very tricky.

We also managed to get in some important play time during this last week of school before winter break.

The children are so creative!

Lucie Lutin!

We were quite surprised to find Lucie Lutin's message to us up on the SMARTboard.  Our sneaky little elf was sitting way up high on the projector.  She was very happy that today was Thursday.  We wonder what she will be up to tomorrow?  There are only 6 more sleeps until Christmas!

Lucie Lutin!

Lucie Lutin was hanging onto the globe today.  She told us that Santa would be delivering presents all around the world very soon.  There are only 7 more sleeps until Christmas!

Lucie Lutin was hanging from a bulletin board under a big green and red hat.  She wanted to know if we were all wearing green today?  Lucie's hat, scarf, mittens and shoes are all green.  There are only 8 more sleeps until Christmas!

Lucie Lutin!

Wow!  Lucie Lutin was very busy over the weekend.  She made a beautiful snowman craft with all of the letters in her name.  Lucie still had Mme Godin's markers in her hands.  All of the boys and girls made a snowman name craft today as well.  There are only 9 more sleeps until Christmas!
