Fire Cancelled

Due to poor weather, the class fires have been cancelled for tomorrow afternoon. Kindergarten students will now be attending the MORNING SESSION ONLY and will participate in the breakfast and winter carnival activities at that time.

Busy Week!

Hi All!

Remember tomorrow is "Dress Like a Teacher Day"! I also sent home 2 notes today, so please check green folders!

One is outlining our winter carnival day which takes place on Thursday. Students attend FULL DAY!Theme of the day is "Grandparents" so students are asked to "age" a few years and dress accordingly! The morning will consist of breakfast, a talent show, and team activities (some may be outside so please bring along hats, mittens, snowpants etc.!). In the afternoon we will be having class fires. Students were asked to bring along an item (please see note!) to help us participate in all of the fire challenges.

*** Students will be notified in the morning as to whether or not they need to bring along items for the fire, in the afternoon.***

The other note was an order form for Kindergarten Graduation Class T-shirts ($14.00 each). Shirts are red in colour and will have a Kindergarten logo on front, class signatures on the back and year of graduation. They are very cute! The deadline for ordering is Friday, April 12th. Please sign and return note, even if your child is not ordering, so that I know everyone has seen the order form. I will send out another reminder after the break.

FYI The graduation date will be determined after Easter break.

P.S. We are doing great with our scavenger hunt! Keep bringing in your items!
P.P.S. We have been focusing on letter sounds lately and have been using the following alphabet videos to introduce the sounds as we cover them. The students seem to be enjoying them so I thought I would share it for home viewing as well! http://havefunteaching.com/videos/alphabet-videos/

Spirit Week/Winter Carnival

Our last week of school before Easter break has been designated Spirit Week by the Student Council. A number of activities have been planned, including dress up theme days:

Monday March 25^th: Mathlete Vs. Athlete Day (Dress up in nerdy attire or wear some sports clothing...you decide!)

Tuesday March 26^th: Crayon Day (Each class will wear clothes of a different colour...PINK was chosen for Kindergarten so wear something pink!)

Wednesday March 27^th: Teacher Vs. Student (Students dress up like teachers and teachers dress up like students)

Thursday March 28^th: Grandparent’s Day (Dress up like your grandparents)

Winter Carnival Day!!! – FULL DAY For Kindergarten! Activities are planned for the entire day so the Kindergartens are asked to attend both morning and afternoon sessions, so they will not miss out on any of the fun! Plus it’s great practice for next year! Additional information will be sent out next week!

Class Scavenger Hunt:

Classes are competing in a scavenger hunt for spirit week. We will be doing some of the whole team picture challenges next week, however there is a list of items that need to be brought in from home. If you have any of these lying around your house, please send them in by your child so we can get points for our class. They will be returned the same day, after our classroom scavenger hunt list has been signed. Good luck Kindergarteners!!!

GREEN Day!

Hi All,

Friday is GREEN day at Holy Cross in celebration of St. Patrick's Day. Please wear something green!

Also we didn't get up to the library today to do a book exchange, as planned. Students will be using their library books in the coming days to write a report on the animal they chose!

Kindergarten Graduation Pictures

Kindergarten pictures have been re-scheduled. They will be taken in the morning on Thursday, March 21st.

Mrs. Power

Generous Kindergarteners!

I'd just like to take this opportunity to thank the students and their families/friends for supporting our penny collection for the Janeway Children's Hospital. Our class collected a grand total of $72.26!!! That's a whole lot of pennies! The students had fun seeing our collection grow and counting the many rolls as we prepared them for deposit. The winner of the classroom challenge is yet to be announced but I will definitely be treating the kids for their hard work regardless of the results. Way to go!

Mrs. Power

P.S. Stay tuned for the rescheduled date for the winter carnival. A decision should be made by tomorrow and I will pass along the information as soon as I have it!
