Kindergarten is enjoying having recess outside with the older students. Next we will practice eating our snack outside AND going to the playground.

We are sketching, labeling and comparing our Tomato, Bean and Cucumber plants. Our tomatoes are beginning to ripen and we have flowers on our bean and cucumber plants. Our pepper plants have some buds on them and should start to flower next week.

Home Reading is officially finished. A big thank you to everyone for reading at home and Mrs. Foster for assisting me with refilling those home reading requests. It's always a good idea to read at home as part of your routine. Usually 5 out of 7 days is advised, partnered with some writing and drawing at home. There are so many options for you to choose from for reading materials. Reading as a family is also a great idea!

Please check yesterday's blog for the music sharing schedule.

No classes on Friday, June 10. We are looking forward to seeing everyone on Monday, June 13.
Enjoy your weekend!

Wednesday, June 8 Music Memo

A message from Mrs. Lim our Music Teacher

Tomorrow, Music Share students are:

Thursday June 9: Abdulahad, Trinity, Lily, Max, Yafet

Tuesday June 14: Maria, Jasper, Reid, Addison, Justin

Thursday June 16: Shawn, Solomon, Tessa, Mika, Payton

Tuesday June 21: Katie, Bill, Jack, Ashton, Leo

Music Share is a chance for students to present a short (under 2 minutes) presentation and practice performing before a familiar audience with confidence. Usually it is a musical performance (ie. singing, piano, instrument in the classroom – at the discretion of Mrs. Lim-, a song and dance (Parents can provide a link for me if necessary), or just a dance.) However, I have also allowed students to choose to present a joke or something that requires standing up in front of the audience and speaking (eg. poetry recitation).

If a student feels too much pressure and does not want to share, he/she can “pass”. Music share is not for marks and is an optional activity, but I highly recommend students take the opportunity to perform something short. We have them curtsey/bow to resounding applause from the class; it is a great confidence booster!  As well, our classroom benefits from practicing our “concert audience” posture and behaviour.  Thank you for your help and support, parents!

One more thing!!!!!

Sports Day Colors
If possible, please wear a  Green T shirt - Reid, Jasper, Payton Maria and Lily
