This Week in Kindergarten!

This was a short week for the students and even shorter for Mme Godin who was completing her EDI surveys.  Mme was back at school just in time to celebrate le Festival du Voyageur day.  The children dressed up as Voyageur and participated in many stations located throughout the school.

Playing Voyageur bingo.

We also participated in some Voyageur games in the gym to see who was the strongest Voyageur.

The boys and girls had a great time!

Flipping pancakes.

Racing to the end without dropping the pancakes.

Canoe races.

Walking across the river and trying to keep a pancake on top of our heads without dropping it.

The afternoon class ready for Voyageur games.

The favourite game was probably the tug of war.

Who is the strongest Voyageur?

Walking carefully over the rocks to cross the river.

More canoe races.

And the pancake race.

A special Voyageur craft.

And the afternoon class' last session was a special Voyageur museum set up by Monsieur Lacroix.

Trying out "la pagaie" (oar).

A beautiful leather vest with hundreds of tiny beads.

Trying on "les capots" (coats).

"Les mocassins" et "les mitaines".

"Les raquettes" (snowshoes).

More Voyageur wearing "les capots".

Hé-Ho!!!

The boys and girls really enjoyed looking at Voyageur Jacques and all of his accessories.
We had an AMAZING DAY!  Thank you to the parents who volunteered to help out in the classroom and in the gym!!!

And we ended off the week singing more Voyageur songs, dancing and playing a special Voyageur board game.
