I can't believe tomorrow is the first day of May already! The May calendar is now available here, and a paper copy will be sent home in message baggies tomorrow. Here are just a few reminders for the upcoming couple of weeks:
Picture
  • Wednesday May 2nd is our final ArtSmarts session with artist Isabella St. John. We will be using acrylic paint - so dress your child in old clothing!
  • ​Final homework (for letter Zz) is due this Thursday. After that, yellow homework books can be kept at home! 
  • The Kindergarten concert will be held on Thursday, May 17th at 1:15PM in the HTE Gymnasium. We are practicing very hard and can't wait to perform our show for you! Reminder: Tickets will go on sale a week before the concert (~May 10).
  • There will be no school on Friday, May 18th due to teacher PD. This is the final PD day for the 2017-2018 school year.
  • There will be no school on Monday, May 21st due to the Victoria Day Holiday.
  • Fluvarium field trip permission slips and money are due in by Friday, May 25th. At this point, we will take a look at which parents have volunteered to chaperone and make a selection at random. First priority will be given to parents who have not yet had the opportunity to accompany our class on an outing. I will be contacting parents by e-mail to confirm they are still available to meet us at the Fluvarium on June 7th.

On s'amuse au printemps!

Good morning,
It seems like Spring might finally be coming! We've been having lots of fun learning and playing with our friends both inside and outside of the classroom! We have started talking about the needs of a plant and the labeling the different parts of a flower. In the coming weeks, we will even plant some seeds and watch them grow! 
In anticipation of Earth Day on April 22nd, we are spending some time this week and next focusing on the importance of taking care of our planet. We are brainstorming the ways we can protect the Earth and keep it clean and beautiful! We are working on several Earth Day themed art projects using recycled materials, which I will be sure to post pictures of!
In the meantime, check out the photos below to see what we've been up to:

ArtSmarts Session #3

4/9/2018

Welcome back to everyone!
​
​This morning, local artist Isabella St. John visited our class for our third ArtSmarts session. This time, each student was given a clay plate and a hunk of soft clay. Ms. St. John brought a variety of fresh fruits and veggies with her and  demonstrated how to use our hands and some simple tools to recreate the shapes of the foods with clay. Students did an excellent job modelling a plateful of healthy food out of their clay! Isabella has taken all of our plates back to her studio to fire them in her kiln. Later on in the Spring, she will visit our class again to help us mix colours and paint our sculptures to make a beautiful finished product!

Ask your child which healthy foods they chose to include on their clay plate and have them explain to you which techniques they used to create them!
