Thursday May 7

Storytimes this week are as follows:

 Thursday, May 7 2:00pm with Mrs. Mask

The Google Meet code to join a storytime with one of the teachers is storytime.

If you plan to attend the storytime Google Meet, we ask that you please turn your microphone OFF as soon as you join the meet. We expect that there will be many Kindergarten friends who want to join and it can become very loud and distracting with so many friends all in the same Meet. Teachers will open the Google Meet 5 minutes prior to the story starting.
A reminder to check your child's educbe.ca account to check out the email on how to get started on Epic books. Many of you have already accessed it, but if you haven't it is a great opportunity to have your child listening to and practice reading from their huge selection of books. It is only available until June 30th.

Monday November 18

Today was an outstanding day in Kindergarten.  We talked about what makes up a community and the interesting places we can find right in our own community of Tuscany.  We continued to explore community helpers and the jobs they do in our community.  We completed a journal response where we drew a picture of what we want to be when we grow up. Our arrival centers included a chance to explore shapes.  We built buildings with shapes, used plasticine & toothpicks to make 3-D shapes, used geo-boards & elastics to make shapes and played shape roll & write.  Please ask your child what shape center they explored today.
