Dear Parents,

Earth day is on April 22nd and we have been discussing ways in which we can care for and show respect for our environment, such as reducing, reusing and recycling.

If you could help your child collect items that can be recycled, we will be using and displaying the items in our classroom.

Thanks,
Ms. Sharman and Ms. Bennett

Winter Activity/ Valentine's Day

Thursday February 12th is Winter Activity Day at Clairlea! As the Junior/Intermediate students head out to ski or skate and the Primary students host their own Carnivale here at the school, the Kindergarten classes will be having our very own 'Valenter Activity Day' to celebrate Valentine's 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), it is nut-free, chick-pea- free, and Halal. 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! 

Save the Date for:

THE COLD WEATHER HAS ARRIVED!

It is very obvious that the temperature has dropped significantly in the last week.  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
