Request for Packaging Materials

Our classes have been learning about three-dimensional figures, such as the cube, cone, cylinder and sphere. We are also learning about how three-dimensional figures can be combined to build structures. In a few days, we will begin building structures by using packaging materials that are three-dimensional figures.

You can help! We would appreciate if you could send empty packaging materials that are three-dimensional figures to class with your child. For example, you could send such materials as cereal boxes, chocolate boxes, shoeboxes, and paper rolls.

Thanks in advance for the materials you are able to provide for our math activity.

Winter Activity/ Valentine's Day
 

Thursday February 11th is Winter Activity Day at Clairlea! As the Junior/Intermediate students head out to ski or skate and the Primary students host their own activities here at the school, the Kindergarten classes will be having our very own 'Valenter Activity Day' to celebrate Valentine's Day and Winter. Please ensure that your child is dressed appropriately to play outside!!! Our activities will include: games, a movie, treats, and fun! If you would like to send treats in for the class, please ensure there is enough for all of the students (29), and they should be nut-free. Also, each child will be making their own 'mailbox' for Valentine's cards - if you would like to send cards with your child, please do not address them - it makes the handing out process very difficult! Thanks! 

 

Happy Valentine's/Family Day!!

Dear Kindergarten Families,

We hope you had a restful and fun winter holiday! We wish you a 2016 filled with happiness, health and love!

We are happy to see how excited the children have been to come back to school and learning!

Just a reminder:

With the winter months here, we would like to remind all of you, that your children should come to school dressed appropriately for the weather. Please help them practice to dress and undress themselves at home. Being able to dress themselves, will help to build your child's sense of independence and confidence.

Poetry folders are sent home on Thursday and must be returned on Monday.

"Book a day" program (SK's) - your child will continue to bring home a different book each day. Please read with your child!

We look forward to seeing you all there!

THE COLD WEATHER HAS ARRIVED!

 The cold weather has arrived.  Many children are coming to school with the proper attire and some are not. Unless the temperature is significantly below zero and we are directed to keep the children in for outdoor learning and lunch, they will not be allowed to stay inside just because they find it too cold. 

Let’s make sure we are all warm as we confront these cold winter months.

Here is a list of the important pieces of clothing that should be worn during these cold winter months: 

ü  a warm, heavy coat

ü  waterproof and weatherproof boots (boots that can stand up to the -20 degree temperature)

ü  warm, waterproof gloves

ü  snow pants

ü  hat

ü  scarf

ü  balaclava

ü  layered sweaters

In your child’s bag, it would be beneficial for your son/daughter to have the following:

ü  an extra pair of warm socks

ü  an extra pair of warm gloves

Let’s do the best we can to keep warm and healthy over the winter

Thanks for your help!

Sincerely,

The English Kindergarten Team
