Beginning a new learning journey...

Good morning kindergarten! 

Welcome to our first day together learning from home! We both miss you all so much! We hope you had a wonderful spring break. Here are some fun activities for you to get started with today! We can't wait to see you again!

Love,
Ms. Bakker and Mrs. Alm

Hello Parents!
We hope you had a great spring break! Please check your email this afternoon as we will be sending out information and questions pertaining to our online learning set-up. We will also continue to update our blog again today as well as throughout this week! Thank you for your patience!

*The L poem in this challenge will be posted later this week!*

Cuteness Overload

Hi Kindergarten! 

We know how much you love animals.  The Calgary Zoo is posting behind the scenes moments with some their animals.  Maybe you can check them out during spring break.

In the meantime, here are some cute animal photos to keep you smiling!

HELLO!

A message to our Kindergarten students:

Hello Kindergarten!
We have missed you all very much this week!  Did you know that today is the first day of Spring? We hope that you are having fun on your extra long spring break with some family games, outside play and lots of imagination! Maybe you could teach your parents some Jack Hartmann songs! We would love if you emailed us a picture or message about your favourite part of your spring break next week! We hope we will get to see you all again soon!

Love,
Ms. Bakker and Mrs. Alm


A message to parents:

We hope that everyone is staying healthy! At this time, there is no formal assignments given for kindergarten. The CBE is developing protocol and timelines over the next week. We will keep you informed as we find out the next steps. Thank you for your patience as we move through a very different and stressful time. We miss teaching and are trying to go into spring break with hope! 
Here is a link available through the CBE to support you at home during this time:

Thank you for your continued support! It is greatly appreciated! 

Library, Conferences and Boxes

It has been a wonderful week of listening to the All About Me presentations! We are looking forward to the rest in the next few days! If your child happens to be sick and misses their presentation day, they can present whenever they are back! :)

A few reminders:

This Friday (March 13th) is Dress Up as Your Favourite Book Character day!

Conferences are next week Wednesday, March 18th, Thursday, March 19th and Friday, March 20th. There will be NO school for kindergarten on those days. Please bring your child to their conference (if possible) so they can show you all of their hard work! The sign up is open online through Powerschool.

NO library next week because of the Book Fair. Please return all library books and students will get a chance to sign out again after spring break.

We are still looking for boxes for our building project in the next couple of days. If you have a box (any size will do!) or two in your recycling bin, we would love to use it.

We have been learning about the letter R sound this week. We are practicing how R says 'ruh' and not 'er'.

Reminder!

Happy Friday!

Just a quick reminder that next week is All About Me week! Students will be sharing their posters and artifact in front of the class. Parents are welcome to come and watch! Please sign in at the office if you are coming :)

Have a great weekend!

Letter Nn and upcoming events!

This week, we are continuing to explore what makes us unique during Social Studies! We are also learning about the letter sound Nn. We learned that N is a nose sound, similar to letter M. If we plug our nose, we can't make that sound!

Just a reminder of upcoming dates:

Scholastic Book orders are due tomorrow!
Students will begin sharing their All About Me projects next week!
Hawkwood School Read-a-thon goes from Saturday, March 7th-Sunday, March 15th!
Dress up as your favourite book character is Friday, March 13th!

March Conferences

Just to let you know March conferences for Kindergarten will take place on:

Wednesday, March 18
Thursday, March 19
Friday, March 20

*There will be no school for both morning and afternoon Kindergarten classes on these dates.  

We will post the conference booking link when it becomes available.
