Recap
Of The Week: Last week we learned about Healthy
Food. We separated some food pictures into the 5 food groups; grains, fruits,
vegetables, protein and dairy. We also made a fruit salad and finished the week
by making a collage of Healthy Foods and Junk Food.
This
Week: We are going to have a camping theme
for our last full week of school!!! On Thursday - weather permitting - we will
walk over to Shumway Park to play for recess. We will go about 11 o’clock and
will be back to school by 11:50, in plenty of time for pick-up. On Friday, we
will get to wear our pyjamas to school and we will make s’mores.
Math: We have been doing lots of
review on counting, using number lines to add and subtract, solid shapes and
figuring out how many more it takes to make ten. This week will have some more
review and then some assessments to finish!
Literacy: We finished up
reading groups on Friday. Our Kindergartners have made so much progress this
year. Make sure to continue reading with your child over the summer and
encouraging them to do some themselves when they can. This will help prevent
some of the loss that usually occurs during summer break. We will continue to
do some Word Work though. Our last sight words for the school-year are ‘new,’ ‘say,’
‘soon,’ ‘want,’ and ‘yes.’
Writing: All groups
will work on these 2 “story starter” prompts this week: “The best part of
Kindergarten was … “ and “When I go camping I ... “
Science, Social Studies & Art: We will do a ‘listen and draw’ activity with a camping scene
and learn about ways to have fun in the sun. We will also work on a ‘special
surprise’ to give our dads for Father’s Day.
Progress Reports: I’m planning on sending home the end of year
(spring) reports on the Friday, June 5th. This gives you time to go through it
and if necessary, ask questions about what it says before the end of the school
year.
Graduation Program: Our graduation ceremony will be on Tuesday, June 9th
at 10:00am. We are hard at work practicing our program every day. The class
will sing some songs for you and then we will present each student with a
certificate. Afterwards, we will join you for some snacks and watch a slideshow
with pictures of the whole school year. There is a sign-up outside the
classroom to help with the snacks. This is an important and exciting day for
our kids as they get ready to move on from Little Acorn.
Classroom Clean-up: On Monday, June 8th, we will all work
together to get the classroom cleaned for summer break. The kids will help out
by cleaning toys and taking down bulletin board stuff. This is a great way for
the students to get some closure on the year and give back to the class by
helping one another.
All School Picnic: On June 10th, we will have our annual
end of school year picnic at Felida Park from 9:30-12:30. All families are
invited to this potluck event. The school will cook/provide the hot dogs and
condiments. A sign-up sheet will be out this week for your donations.
Summer Camps: We
will have 3 summer camps this year: Art Explosion (June 15-19), Knights &
Princesses (July 13-17) and Super Hero Week (July 20-24). Registration has
already started. Camp is $95 per child per week; $175 for 2 for one week. There
is a $25 non-refundable registration fee that will be applied towards camp
tuition.

kindergarten year!
