reporting day

Today, I will be sending home your child's report card.  If possible, please sign and return page two so I can file it in your child's Ontario Student Record before the end of the day tomorrow.

the last day

On Thursday afternoon, the last day of school, we will be having a class party.  Feel free to send in a treat for your child to share with the class.  If it is a hot day, we will have a water fight at the end of the day.  The children can bring water squirters to use.

now it is official

On Friday, you all recieved a notice telling you who your child's teacher will be next year.  That means you know it will not be me.  I am devistated to be leaving the wonderful children and families in this community.  In the spring, principals recieve from the school board their staffing allotment and from there they assign teachers to what grade/role they will teach the following year.  I was stunned to not be assigned to kindergarten and so began my journey in finding a new school to work at.  Anyone who listens to the news will know the teaching profession if over full with qualified candidates and after many application and interviews, I was able to find a job teaching kindergarten at Fraser Mustard Early Learning Academy.  I am excited to be part of this new innitiative by the school board.  If I can't be here teaching your children, Fraser Mustard is a great alternative.  I hope I can keep intouch with the Workman families that I have been priviliged to teach, some of you for many years.

I'm trying to save my tears for Thursday,

some like it hot

This last week of school is looking like a hot one - which makes me very happy :)  Assuming the forcast is right, please send your chld to school with a bottle for water, a hat, sunscreen and maybe even sunglasses.  This will help keep your child comfortable during recesses.

Can you say patio season?

home toys

I don't mind if your child brings toys from home to extend their play within the classroom or to play with at recess.  That being said, I teach the children that their home toys are their responsibility and often toys brought to school get lost or broken.  I won't keep track of their toys for them.  When your child is selecting a toy to bring to school, suggest to them that they leave special toys at home.

Today, we are focusing on our oral language, talking about buttons in support of our unit on Ten, Nine, Eight.  We will also create shoes in order to make a graph tomorrow in mathematics.

We will visit the computer lab.

today

Today, we are going to turn drama centre into a bedroom so we can put the babies to bed just like the daddy put the little girl to bed in our book of the week Ten, Nine, Eight.  We will also see Miss McGregor for music and physical education.  I am expecting that we will meet with the childrens librarian from Albert Campbell library so she can tell us about what is happening at the Albert Campbell library this summer but I haven't been told the details yet.
