Dear Parents,
Earth Day and DJ Trevor took over the school on Friday. Many students were enthusiastic about helping to clean up the neighbourhood and having a dance party. You will see these interests continuing in upcoming poems about growing and planting seeds, which we'll be doing in our classroom. Our show and share theme for May will ask students to bring in a favourite song--last year that meant daily dance parties, but we'll see how we go this year.
We also began work on the mural that will be going up in the kindergarten stairwell. These are the pictures that I have to share with you this week:
 |
| The mural began with magazine collage |
 |
| Students brainstormed pictures that showed what children deserved |
 |
| Happy face, ice cream. |
 |
| Fruits (like pears, left), Sunshine and castles (middle), Hugs and tacos (right) |
 |
| Animals, houses and hearts at this group |
 |
| Hearts, hospitals, houses (hidden, a boat and pretty clothes) |
 |
| Then we traced each others' bodies to make interesting outlines |
 |
| Everyone took turns |
 |
| I stayed with my group and tried to suggest interesting poses |
Look for our newsletter coming out at the end of the week.
Until then,
Sincerely,
Ms. Goegan
P.S. If you're wondering about where your child's library books are, we had a computer issue on Friday that made it impossible for them to check books out. We'll try to get in for an exchange sometime early this week.
