The boys and girls may wear their Halloween costumes to school on Tuesday, October 31st.

Please no weapons or plastic princess shoes as we will be doing special activities after recess.  There will be students from grade 5 helping us with our special Halloween games.

I will also take the morning class on a mini costume parade in the grade 1 to 5 classrooms.  The afternoon class will participate in a costume parade in the gym at 2:15 p.m. 
Any students from the morning class wishing to attend the afternoon costume parade may join us with a parent in the gym at 2:15 p.m.

Due to multiple allergies and food intolerances in the classroom, students will bring their regular snacks from home for our Halloween party.  THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING!

Please continue to check labels and to send healthy foods to school for snack (no suckers, chocolate bars or other Halloween candy).

Merci!
Mme Godin

This Week in Kindergarten!

This week's Discovery Bins included, a dinosaur colour game.  The children are learning to take turns and practicing to name the colours in French.

The children were given Math manipulatives and ten frames. 

This group was practicing to strengthen their fine motor skills with tweezers and pompoms.  Some of the children used dice to see how many pompoms they should put in the ice cube trays.

Using our imagination and creating structures with foam blocks.

Some of the materials at the tables are open-ended.  This little girl made the number ten out of rocks.

This little boy used a die to fill up his ten frame with leaves.

Another child was creating a pattern with her pompoms.

Hard at work in our colour booklets.

Practicing to use scissors correctly.

Drawing and colouring a tree.

The children used a Q-tip paintbrush to add fall leaves to their trees.

Sorting objects according to colours on the SMARTboard.

The afternoon class' trees.

The morning class' trees.

Extending our sorting skills during play time.

Making sets of objects that are the same.

Playing a different colour game with a friend.

A very busy construction site.

A police officer, pilot and firefighter.

Creating many fun things with the large lego.

This morning some of the children wanted telephones during imaginative play.  So Mme Godin, found her cell phone and the children made phones of their own.
