I can use scissors to cut and make art!

-

 Today we practiced using scissors to make a halloween art project!  Our first step was to cut on a straight dotted line to make the gate and second was to cut the circle to make a pumpkin!  Scissor skills are a very important part of Kindergarten, so please practice cutting straight and curved lines with me at home.  Below you will see the rules that we follow when we are cutting.  Please ask me to explain these rules to you.






Students are welcome to some to school in a costume if they would like. Please leave any accessories and or masks for the costume at home to ensure they don't get lost!

Reminders:

-We ask that parents refrain from using the parking lot for pick up and drops offs, as it is a safety concern as students are arriving and being dismissed in that area.  There are many people in the area and may not be visible. We thank you for helping us keep our community safe!


-As the weather gets colder, please ensure your child is dressed properly for outdoor weather. This includes snow pants, jacket, toques, mittens/gloves. We have recess every Tuesday and go outside to the playground unless it is -20 below. 

 -Library days are every Thursday, please return books by Thursday. 

*** If you are interested in volunteering in our classroom, we would love for you to come in whenever is most convenient for you!  If you have your police clearance and are interested, please email your child's teacher!  If you have not yet gotten your police security clearance, you will need to stop in at the office to get that process started.

  Hello families and welcome to our kindergarten blog! We will be updating this blog daily with what we have been working on and important information and updates about our class. Please check it regularly as this is our main form of communication with you. This will also help connect you with what is happening at school so you can guide those conversations with your child at home and ask them "tell me more about......". We had a wonderful first staggered entry day yesterday. Your children were absolutely wonderful and they did so great! Thank you for your help in prepping them for this milestone. Ask your child to share with you some of the things they learned about the kindergarten teachers. We worked on practicing printing our name and drawing a picture of us on the first day of school.  We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday September 5 during our regular kindergarten hours. AM Class 8:15-11:15am PM Class 12:05-3:05pm Have a wonderful long weekend and see you on Tuesday
