September 23-27

Sorry parents!! It seems my blog is not working properly….I thought that I posted this message yesterday morning but it did not go through. I will double check next week that the post actually goes through.

Good morning!I’m not off to a great start for Sunday night blog posts!! To be honest I’m wiped on the weekends…I forgot how exhausting the first weeks of kindergarten! This week we talked a lot about how we feel: blue zone-tired, sick, bored, not much energy; green zone-well rested, feeling good, ready to work (where we like to be); yellow zone-excited, anxious, silly, lots of energy (okay sometimes); red zone-out of control, angry. We talked about all of these emotions or feelings to be okay but that we need to try to bring it back to green so we are ready to learn. We are learning some breathing techniques to helps us. 

Important Dates:There will be no school on Friday September 27. 

Book Order:The book order is due Wednesday September 25. You can place the order online at scholastic.ca or by sending in the form with the books circle. If you buy online, you can pay online. If you send the form in, either cash or cheque would be fine. Cheque’s need to be made out to Scholastic Canada Inc. 

Literacy:We are beginning Fundations today. Be expecting a package in their homework folder. We will learn the expectations of Fundations this week. Numeracy:We are talking about the number 2. We will learn how to print it, what 2 items looks. Social Studies:We continue to work on what it looks and sounds like to be a friend, what are the rules of school, green and red choices. We are printing our names and learning about our families. We began going through the family pictures and how the children got their names. If you haven’t sent a picture into the classroom or by email, you can still do that. The children are enjoying seeing all our families. 
Have a great week! Kelley
