Hello Kindergarten Families,

 

We have a busy month ahead! With the holidays fast approaching our School Council has been busy organizing our annual Santa Night! 

We will be offering lots of activities for our families/children to enjoy including:

• A Bugz Christmas Musical presented by our grade 1-3 students
• A photo opportunity with Santa
• A Christmas Craft Station
• Cookies and milk and a silent auction of Holiday Baskets

Each class has selected a theme for their basket. Our theme is Birthday Party! Each student is encouraged to donate one item that could be added to our class basket.

  Pajama Day

Tomorrow, Friday November 20th, we are having a pajama day!! Students are encouraged to wear their   coziest PJ’s to school and bring 1 stuffed animal if they choose.  We will also be making cupcakes!!

 

 

 

 

Home Reading (SK Students)

We would like to thank all our parents for your continuous support with our home reading program.  Just a reminder, please return your child’s reading  folder and book back to school each Friday. On Mondays, your child will be sent home with their reading folder and a new reading book.

 

Classroom Inquiries/Items Needed

A number of students have been working hard to build a “Santa’s Workshop”.  They have built a work bench, cut out pictures to help assist the elves in making different toys, and are currently working on “Santa’s conveyor belt”.  If you/or your child would like to donate any items to this ongoing project, they would be greatly appreciated!

This could be a great topic of conversation at the dinner table, working alongside your child to brainstorm ideas/materials (i.e., what might Santa have in his workshop/outside the workshop, elves – what do you need to make the costumes etc.), which could help enrich their learning experience at school.

 

We are currently in need of paper towel.  We are well stocked with other items thanks to your generous donations! 🙂

Hello families,

 

We are planning a pajama day on Friday November 20th! Come dressed in your most comfy P.J.’s 🙂

Also, if you have not yet sent a family photo in, please do so so that we can add it to our “living room”.  The children really enjoy looking at photos of their friends families and also of their own family.

Items We Are in Need Of:

paper towel

hand sanitizer

 

We look forward to a great month ahead 🙂

Hello Kinder families,

 

This coming Friday (September 18th)  is Pirate and Princess Day! So, come dressed in your best and show your school spirit! Please DO NOT bring weapons of any kind (i.e., swords, hooks etc.)

 

 

 

 

 

P.S.  We have updated our “Important Dates” and “Reminders” pages- please be sure to click on the tabs above 🙂

 

 

 

 

We want to extend a warm welcome to our returning and new families!  We are looking forward to an exciting year of new experiences, exploration and making learning lots of fun! We had a lot of successful feedback with the blog over the last two years and are hoping to add a few more features in order to make staying connected to your child’s classroom that much easier!

The goal of our program is to meet your child’s needs not only intellectually, but also physically, socially, and emotionally. Going to school is one of the most important experiences in a child’s life. School can be an exciting place where children meet new and different people and participate in many new and different experiences. We promise to work diligently to provide the children with wonderful experiences that help them to  grow, feel good about themselves and their school.

We wanted to share with you an article we came across that may help you gain better insight in to your child’s day once they are at home with you; we hope you find them helpful

Dear families,

 

 

It’s hard to believe the end of the year is approaching so quickly.  With that said, we wanted to let you know that our SK Home Reading Program has now come to an end.  Please continue to read with your child; including over the summer 🙂

 

Thank you so very much for your continued support!

 

Sincerely,

 

Ms. Caietta and Mrs. LeBlanc

 

p.s. please be sure to check under “Important Dates” as we have quite a few events planned during the last month of school!

We hope all of our families are having a wonderful weekend!

We just wanted to take a moment to remind our SK parents to please check your email for your invitation to our SK graduation.  The invitation kindly asks that you R.S.V.P. and include how many people will be attending, this way we are able to ensure there are enough seats for all our guests.

There were a few printed invites that went home in some children’s zippy bags  if we did not have an email on file.  Please ensure that you R.S.V.P. as soon as possible so that we are able to make final preparations 🙂

 

Sincerely,

 

Ms. Caietta and Mrs. LeBlanc

To show our support for Mental Health week we are asking all FCC students to ‘wear green’ tomorrow (Wednesday May 6th). ​Each day at Fred C. Cook P.S., student speakers are sharing facts, statistics and information about student mental health over the Announcements.    All students from Kindergarten to Grade 8 will walk for mental health in our community (Kindergarten will walk on the field outside their classroom doors) tomorrow, Wednesday May 6th.  Students should come to school dressed comfortably with appropriate walking shoes (i.e., running shoes).

 

 

Hi Families,

We hope you are all enjoying the slightly warmer weather this week 🙂

Our classroom transformation is coming along quite nicely! Our students are creating and learning (through the environment and materials) in many new and exciting ways! As we continue to transform our classroom we are in search of new materials to support our students learning. With their help we have created a classroom wish list. Please consider donating any of the following items to our classroom when you are cleaning out your gently used items or just out for a walk 🙂

old electronics (phones, cell phones, keyboards etc.)

fabrics/bridesmaid dresses

loose parts:

small wooden dowels

fake flower petals

corks

nuts and bolts

twigs/small sticks

small tiles

 

If you are able to donate any of these items please send them with your child to school.

Thank you for your ongoing support,

 

Ms. Caietta and Mrs. LeBlanc
