Cranston Kindergarten : January 9

Hi Follow us on TWITTER! @be_KINDergarten

Dear Mom and Dad:

Highlights of the week:

- Roots of Empathy baby visits
- Working on the letter Aa
- Constable Mattice visit in Team Wonder’s class
- Trout eggs arrived on Friday
Gymnastics began this week
Snowflake experiment and snow inquiry in blue and yellow team

We had our baby visit this week. Ask me to tell you about our Roots of Empathy baby. We have noticed a big difference in the way they look and how they've grown.

We took a closer look at the letter A. Ask me draw an upper case and lower case letter in the air for you. I should ALWAYS be starting my letters at the top going down.
I can sing our Jolly phonics song with you! "ah-ah, ants on my arm....."

Jolly phonics A song

Team Wonder met Constable Mattice and Constable Baker on Monday. Ask me to tell you who she is and what tools she uses to help her be a police officer.

On Friday, our school trout eggs arrived! The PM class visited the tank and we learned that we will be raising them from the egg stage to the fry stage and releasing them in May. There are 65 eggs that came. Ask me to tell you to describe what the eggs look like right now. AM class will get to see them on Monday.

Love,

Kindergarten

Housekeeping:

Friday January 20, AM attends.

Swimming ability forms return by Monday Jan 16.

We would encourage all students to participate in the swimming. If you or your child is concerned about swimming because they have very little experience with water, please know that they are in VERY good hands! The instructors at Bob Bahan are fantastic and your child’s teacher will be on the swimming deck as well to assist. Students will be expected to attend school that week if they do not participate in swimming. They will join a grade ½ class for the duration of swimming days. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your child’s teacher.
