Colder Weather!

Now that the cooler weather has arrived, please make sure that your child is dressed accordingly.  It is especially cool in the mornings and there are many students with cold ears and hands.

The boys and girls are outside for 15 minutes at recess time.  The morning class has recess from 9:55 a.m. until 10:10 a.m. and the afternoon class from 1:45 p.m. until 2:00 p.m.

Please help your child further develop independence by having him/her dress independently.  Take some time to practice at home if needed.  Your child show know how to put his/her arms in the sleeves of his/her jacket without someone holding the jacket.  They should also know how to fix sleeves that are inside out.  Have your child practice putting on and removing shoes or boots.  Remind your child that the last thing they should put on are their mittens as it is difficult to dress yourself with mittens on.  Mme Godin is happy to start up zippers as these can be tricky at times.
Remember that one of the kindergarten learning outcomes is to develop independence in your child.

Please label all items of clothing as many children have the same or similar toques mittens, jackets, etc.

Merci!
Mme Godin

Sentence Structures!

These are some of the sentence structures that we will be using daily in kindergarten all year long.  I am introducing these new sentences a few at a time.  We have been working on "Bonjour!", "Au revoir!"and "Est-ce que je peux aller aux toilettes s'il-vous-plait?".  I have added other sentences that we will be practicing over the next few weeks.

Please feel free to have your child practice along with me. I will be adding slideshows of all the new French vocabulary taught in class as well as videos of the children singing songs and reciting poems.

Let me know if ever you have any questions or concerns.

Merci!
Mme Godin

This Week in Kindergarten!

Following instructions given in French...marche (walk), cours (run), saute (jump).

Arrête!- Stop!

The boys and girls drew a person.

They also practiced making vertical lines (les lignes).

I have very few photos to share with you this week.  I wanted to let all of my kindergarten families know that I will be away from school all of next week on "Compassionate Leave", following the loss of my dear mother.

Mme Pegler will be the substitute teacher and I will be back with more "This Week in Kindergarten!"  after the long weekend.

Take some time to talk about our Canadian hero, Terry Fox and why we have a special run in memory of him every year.

MERCI!
