5 Senses

Happy Mother's Day to the mothers of our kindergarten community! You have amazing children and we are absolutely blessed to have the opportunity to be part of your child's development and learning. Have an amazing Mother's Day. You guys rock! no pun intended :) *if you read this Sunday you will get this 

**Monday AM school is going to the Calgary Zoo
**NO SCHOOL for PM kindergarten on Monday

Dear Mom and Dad of AM kindergarten:

I brought a special gift home today that I made for mom. Please remind me to give it to you on Sunday for Mother’s Day!

Today we talked about our senses and how they help us survive. Ask me to tell you what the 5 senses are. We talked about each one and though about how we would use our senses on Monday for our fieldtrip.

We are going to the zoo on Monday ALL DAY. Please check the weather forecast on Sunday evening and dress your child appropriately.Layers are most appropriate as we will be at the zoo all day and it may get warmer in the afternoon. Please pack your child: bottled water,  a couple of snacks and a lunch.

Pick up time at school is around 2:45pm at the kindergarten doors.

Question of the day: What is your most favourite thing about your mom?

Love,

Ladybug math

Dear Mom and Dad:

Today we did a math activity using our ladybugs that we made. I had to count the dots on each ladybug and add them together. During this activity, my teachers were assessing if I can follow multi-step directions, if I am able to correctly count the number of dots and how I form my numbers. My teachers were very proud of me!

PM class: I brought home a special gift today that I made. Please remind me to give it to mom on Sunday for Mother's Day!

AM attends tomorrow. (All AM field trip forms must be returned tomorrow).
No school on Monday for PM.

Love,
Kindergarten
