Mrs. Blackie - K1 News

Hello everyone,

I hope you enjoyed watching your child open up their Owl bags of Valentines! It was fun handing them out and great practice for reading their classmate's names. Thank you for my Valentines and treats too!

Sharing - Next week we are going to start reading some Fairytales and I thought it would be a great idea for the children to either bring in their favourite Fairytale book to show or just talk about which one they like and why? Thanks for your support to help them chat about it. (Monday sharers can bring their book on any other day)

Wednesday is Pink Shirt Day which promotes kindness to others. Your child is welcome to wear a pink shirt.  will be walking with our buddies as part of a Friendship walk. 

PARENTS - 100th Day is on Tuesday, March 1.  We will be celebrating  with the other K classes.  At home, please take some time to count out 100 objects WITH your child. ( You can count by 1's, groups of 10's...) Then each child can bring the 100 items to school in a clear ziploc-type bag labelled with their name on Monday, February 28. I  will hang it on the bulletin board to share with the class.  (Ideas below  - buttons, marshmallows, fishy crackers, stickers, pom poms, fruit loop necklace...whatever your child wants to share that can be pinned on the wall- not too heavy please.) We will keep the 100 day collections  for the following week to investigate measurement - weight. 

Early Dismissal- March 9 & 10  at 1:48  Student Led Conference - your child will lead you around the room and show you some of their work in a specific time slot. I will send out the sign up google docs next week as  I am waiting to see how many families can be in the class at once. I will greet you at the line up doors and escort you out.  I'm very happy to be having you come into our class and I know your child will be excited too!

Kindergarten Hearing screening on Tuesday and Wednesday next week.
