Grade One in Training

Your SK student may have come home yesterday and told you about their special badge.  We have "Grade One in Training" badges for our SK's as we get them ready for grade one.  We brainstormed with the kids about what grade one behaviour should look and sound like and what grade one work should look like.  See the great ideas that the kids came up with!  Every time we catch them doing an awesome job we remind them how ready they are for grade one.

Rub a Dub Dub!

Our babies are being washed in the water table. The children loved giving the babies a bath today!

Library

Please send all library books back Tuesday.   We will be going to the library some time this week to make up for missing it Monday.

SK Parents Only

Please send in a baby photo of your SK student. It will be returned.  Please put your child's name on the back.
Thanks

Vet Clinic

Our drama centre is now a vet clinic.   We have told the children they can bring in a stuffed animal to keep in the clinic if they want to. Please don't send in a favourite sleep time toy or something so special that your child would be devastated if something happened to it.  We talk about handling  the toys in our class with care, but sometimes things do happen so please keep that in mind.

Happy Mother's Day!!

This week we will do an A-Z letter review, so students can bring in an object that starts with any letter.

Miraculous Medal

The Catholic Church devotes the month of May to the Blessed Virgin Mary.  In honour of Mary, each student was given a Miraculous Medal.  Wearing it shows your devotion to Mother Mary.  Inside the mail bags was a story explaining the significance of the medal.  Such a great way to end our Catholic  Education Week!

Mercy that Loves

We watched an animated parable of The Good Samaritan (Luke 10: 25-37) to help the children understand that God wants us to help those in need.  We discussed that a parable is a story with an important message.  

Today during our classroom activities each family member wrote on a heart one thing that they love about their child.  We made a beautiful bouquet of heart messages.

Mercy that Welcomes

Please see our bulletin board in the hallway for Catholic Education Week, celebrating Mercy that Welcomes. 

May School Calendar

The May School Calendar came home yesterday with last year's date.  It should have said "May 2016".  The information is correct.
