Pictures of the Year in JK

 I have some pictures of the year I would like to share. In order to respect privacy I would like to hear from parents about their wishes before sending out any pictures. Please let me know by email if you do NOT wish your child's picture included in an album that I can email to each parent. Please let me know by July 15th and I will proceed from there. If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know by then. Thank you!

Playday plans

The children will begin their day with a play day outside, so please send them with hats and water bottles and please cover them in sunscreen before they come to school. We will be having lots of watery, bubbly fun activities. The play day will be about 45 minutes long and then we will go indoors for snack and quiet play. I have some marshmallows for a little treat for them. Please let me know if you do not wish your child to have them. Thank you again for your help!

Broadview Book Bonanza

Our class is going to the book bonanza this Thursday! Our times are 10:45 and 1:45 to go down to the gym and buy books. Please send a few dollars with your child if you would like them to get some books. Please put their money in a zip lock bag and write their name and the amount and how many books that buys on the front. The prices are .50 or 1.00 a book. I suggest they not buy too many as it is difficult for them to carry more than a few. You can always come back and browse together after school, in the evenings or Saturday morning. We are looking forward to a fun time choosing some books. Thank you for your help in making that simple for the children to do. 

 

 

 

We are visiting a healthy food display with the public health nurse next week in the school library! Ask your child what he or she saw and which food they might like to try after seeing the display. Please help them to plan what he or she would like to bring for our healthy snack time. We will be graphing the healthy foods for the Math Gallery display next week.

A Few Things

So much is going on at school these days! Tonight is the bike parade and family dance, which helps to raise money for a play structure for Severn school. I worked there years ago and am so happy that Broadview is helping them out. Book Bonanza is coming up very soon! Please let me know if you did not receive your newsletter about this great event. In the time before and during Book Bonanza we will be celebrating different authors and illustrators and the joy of books. Last year this was such a meaningful group of lessons that children went to the bookfair looking for their favourite authors. It was one of my favourite teaching moments ever. I hope you can take part in some of these upcoming events. As always, your help with school is very much appreciated.

Chicks and Spring

Here is a silkie chick like the ones we saw today: 



Now we have finished our study of Fairytales (and the weather seems to have started to cooperate) we will focus on Spring. We have been noting the changes around us and making a list of signs of spring. We will enhance that by starting a nature table. If you find anything of interest in your walks and at the park or in your gardens, we would love to have it for our table. It is such a lovely time of year and we will have fun doing nature studies, planting seeds, reading about farms and new baby animals and doing lots of fun crafts in great pastel colours. Welcome, Spring!
