Good evening!

Hello parents, guardians, friends, and students,

I hope you are all having a wonderful evening. I'm sure some of you have spent some quality time outside enjoying the remaining warm weather!

Today was a busy day for all of our junior kindergarten students. The morning started perfectly with circle time, where we sang the "Good Morning Boogie," and discussed the calendar and weather. Everyone is catching on so fast and is quickly learning our morning routine after just three days. We did tracing and colouring activities to begin our day. After, I read Ten Little Fingers and Ten Little Toes by renowned children's author, Mem Fox. This book ties in with our first unit of inquiry, who we are. Following this book, each student practiced writing the number ten. This went fairly well and all of our students are learning how to hold a pencil properly.

We had French class in the afternoon followed by music class with Mr. Moreno. The students seemed to enjoy music as they were very cheery and giggly upon returning to our classroom. After the second lunch period, we had a house competition. Each student sat with his or her housemates from each grade and competed in a competition to see which house could shoot the most basketballs, or bouncy balls, into the hoop. Zeta Beta Phi ended up winning the most house points with 50, 000.

Overall, we had an active, enjoyable school day. I am so proud of all my students as they are becoming more familiar with daily classroom routines and etiquette.

Have a super night and I will see you all tomorrow!

Ms. H.
