This Week in Kindergarten!

On a very cold Monday we bundled up warmly for "Bus Ridership".  The bus driver went over all of the bus rules with the children.

The boys and girls answered and asked many questions.  The bus driver showed us things that she would use in case of an emergency such as a first aid kit, a fire extinguisher,  an axe, a walkie talkie radio and her cell phone.

There are 2 emergency exits on the roof of the school bus.

There are 4 window exits, as well as the front windshield which is made of tempered glass.

The children also practiced to exit from the back emergency door. 

This week the children practiced printing the letter I.

And we made some snowmen (les bonshommes de neige) to decorate the hallways in preparation for our Winter Concert on December 12th.

The morning class' snowmen all watching the snowflakes fall from the sky.

The afternoon class' snowmen.

We will be learning about some of the different holidays that people celebrate during the winter as part of our social studies curriculum.  We have been talking about "Hanoukka" for the past few days.  Mme Godin read us a book about this special celebration and one of the students from the morning class brought her dreidel (toupie) and book to share with us.
HAPPY HANUKKAH TO ALL OF OUR FRIENDS WHO WILL START CELEBRATING THIS SPECIAL HOLIDAY ON SUNDAY!

The boys and girls found this special little elf hanging on the SMARTboard.  She left us a note introducing herself as Lucie Lutin (Lucy the elf).  She is Santa's friend and she will come visit us every day to see if we are listening to Mme Godin, working hard and playing nicely with our friends.  Lucie also told us that there are only 25 more sleeps until Christmas!
