Next week and beyond!

February is kindness month in Kindergarten! We will be exploring how to demonstrate kindness and empathy to others around us! We will be learning about how to work and learn with others who may be different than us.

We have BC and Alberta Guide Dogs company come into our classroom to give a presentation to students about guide dogs. For the AM class, this presentation will be on Monday, Feb. 3rd at 9:30 am and for the PM class, this presentation will be on Tuesday, Feb. 4th at 1:15 pm. A dog will be present in our classroom during this time. If your child is frightened of dogs, we have a space for them to watch from a distance.
The purpose of this presentation is to teach students about who might have a guide dog, what to do when you meet a guide dog and how a guide dog is trained. We are hoping to build our empathy skills!

For our sharing this month, students can bring something from home that they love or that shows love or kindness.  No more ocean animals!  :)

We will also be starting a Kindness Jar. Whenever someone is caught being kind, they get a warm fuzzy (pom pom). They put their warm fuzzy into the Kindness Jar. Once the jar is full, our class will get to secretly spread kindness to others!

Thursday, Feb. 6th is Math Night!
