Mrs. Blackie - K1 News

 A wonderful fall week! The children really enjoyed leaf rubbing so I encouraged them to try it at home too. We have chatted how it is getting cooler outside and darker-more signs in the change of season to fall. 

Sharing: Great patterned clothes! We saw lots of stripes, hearts, dots and shapes in  treads in our shoes! Next  week we will be bringing in 1 item that has their favourite colour so we can learn/review colour words this week. We will leave the items at school until Thursday. Friday children who share can bring their item any other day and I will slot them in to share as Friday is a Pro-D day - no school for children. 

Parent/Teacher Conference: Please sign up to meet in person or have a phone call. I meet or will call all the parents this term to see how your child has transitioned to KIndergarten. Here is the link again:
