Dear Mom and Dad:
Highlights of the week:
-
Swimming!!
-
And riding on a bus of course J
This week: after 4 hours total on the bus, 4 swimming
lessons, 4 times changing for swimming, 4 times changing out of our swim suit. (and
then for our teachers, times that by two!)We survived our first swimming
adventure in kindergarten!
After 4 whole days of bus hopping and pool dipping, we are
exhausted but it was so much fun. Swimming is an important skill to learn and
also this week, I’ve learned to push myself beyond my expectations.
Ask me to tell you about swimming and what I learned. Ask me
to tell you what my instructor’s name is.
A HUGE thank you to all of our parent volunteers. Because of
them, we were able to get your child on the bus, changed and on time and ready
for the swimming lessons each and every day. We would also like to thank Bob Bahan pool. Their staff and instructors were absolutely amazing and they were so accommodating with us.
Please scroll all the way to the bottom to read our important housekeeping items.
Love,
Kindergarten

On Monday February 27:
Kindergarten will be celebrating our 100th day of school!
We are asking each child to bring 100 things to school in a small zip lock bag with their name on it. We will be using these items to practice grouping and counting to 100 using different strategies. This item should be small and not roll off a table. We will be doing this activity on Monday February 27 but feel free to start sending them in next week.
Some ideas and examples of things your child can bring are:
100 cherrios
100 macoroni pastas
100 smarties
100 marshmallows
100 pennies
100 dried beans
Please have our child count with you! We have been learning a lot about numbers 1 to 10. Your child should be able to count to 10 one by one, counting each object. Challenge your child to count by tens once they have their group of 10s.
On Monday February 27, because we are at our 100th day of kindergarten, we would like your child to come to school dressed as if they are 100 years old! This is completely optional. Please do not go out and buy anything. You may have some items in your home you can use. Be creative! We welcome it all, accessories, props, have fun with it! Here are some photos and ideas.
- use baby powder for hair
- fake glasses
- a cardigan
- suspenders
- pearls
- scarf
- hat
- tie
- bowtie
A reminder that Team Wonder's reading incentive program begins now! The Calgary Flames have a program called "Reading....Give it A Shot!" Every Monday, I can receive Calgary flames trading cards, or stickers if I log in to Raz Kids. I received my login information many months ago. If I have lost my login card, I can let my teacher know and I can get my login information.
