Welcome to the middle of June! We had a busy week in Room 159. We have introduced all of the coins and will continue to practise their names, values and features. The children completed their "This is Me in June" picture this week. They will be posted in the classroom later next week. We also finished our art for the top of the June calendar. Last week we used oil pastels to colour a sheet of paper and then we painted the entire paper black. Using chop sticks, the children exposed the colours to make fireworks. Everyone had a great time designing their own fireworks after watching firework displays on the Smartboard. We worked on a special task with our Reading Buddies this week. All will be revealed next weekend. Shhhh it's a secret!
The last weeks of school are always very busy. Please continue to read the blog to have all the information and dates that you need. All library books are due this week and the children will not be borrowing new books. Please return all library books as soon as possible. We want to clear our classroom account. Enjoy your child's poetry book this weekend and please return it for our end of the year poems. The poetry books will be sent home to keep at the end of the year.
The children played soccer with Ms. Santiago in the gym this week. In the computer lab, they explored a dice counting game called "Race to Five" on abc.ya.
A reminder to Senior Kindergarten parents-please send me your child's baby picture and return your graduation RSVP this week. Thanks in advance.
Terry Fox t-shirt order forms were sent home on Thursday in your child's mailbag. The shirts will be delivered in September. There will be a display in the front hall June 11-14 and June 18-21 for sizes and ordering. You may also return your order form and payment to our classroom. This is your only opportunity to order t-shirts, they are not available in September. The money raised from selling the t-shirts goes directly to our Terry Fox campaign. Show your spirit and get a Terry Fox shirt!
Our last pizza day is Thursday, June 28 and it is also Lunch on the Lawn. Lunch on the Lawn is a tradition at LKS where families are invited to lunch and everyone eats together in the Shale Pit. Fingers crossed for nice weather. Please try to join us for this special event on the last day of school. When you attend Lunch on the Lawn, you will eat with your child and other friends, and be responsible for him/her for the lunch hour. Children who do not have families attending this event, will eat with the lunch room supervisor as usual.
Just a reminder regarding lace up shoes. Shoelaces become untied very easily and pose a safety hazard. Please continue to have your chid wear velcro shoes for safety reasons. Please no open toed sandals also.
