Happy holidays, everyone!!!!

Dear boys and girls of Miss H.'s JKA class and parents/guardians as well,

The Christmas concert at SJA was a SUCCESS!

You boys and girls made the cutest sheep in the entire world!   The real ones would be jealous!

I cannot tell you all how proud and blessed I am to have each and every one of you in my class this year. The wonderful, energetic, funny, quirky and kind hearts of each of you JKA students make my job as a teacher so worth it!!

Thanks to all the parents, friends and family for all your support. Without it, this Christmas concert would not have been as amazing as it was!

Have a great, safe night everyone and I'll see you all tomorrow morning for our last day together before a fun winter break! :)

Happy Friday, everyone!

Today, we started off with rehearsing for the school Christmas concert. From 9-11:30 am, everyone in the school practiced and practiced and practiced!

After, we had lunch. After lunch, we read a book called "Rumble in the Jungle", which is based on different animals in the jungle. Everyone each got a stuffed animal puppet to hold on to while I read the book. After, everyone got to play with their stuffed animal puppets. We had French and then second lunch a little earlier so that we had time to put on all of the winter gear for outside recess.

After, we played with blocks and built things out of them. We also watched "Crawford the Cat". We also made snowmen mosaic artwork out of different coloured construction paper.

A few reminders:

-Next Wednesday is Casual Day
-Next Thursday is the school concert. Please arrive 30 minutes before the concert at 6:30 pm.

Hello!

Today, we had an exciting morning ceremony because two student from each class were awarded with a certificate for the two learner profiles: Caring and Risk Taker. In our class, I would like to congratulate Jordan for being awarded with a Risk Taker certificate. Throughout the year, Jordan has constantly tried new things and has strived to make an effort in everything she has done. Congratulations also to Kasen for being awarded with a Caring certificate. Kasen has strived to help out other students when they needed help and was very caring when any of them got hurt. Good job to both of you!

We also did some letter tracing exercises and read a book called the Snowy Day. After reading this, we made and coloured snowflakes.

We had French and then did drama rehearsals for the rest of the day.

Have a great weekend!!!!!!


Miss H.

Hey everyone! Happy Thursday!

Good evening parents, guardians, friends and family,


Today was a busy, busy day. We started off the day with circle time and discussed what we all day the day before. I heard some interesting, exciting stories. Then, we sang the good morning boogie. This time, we replaced "hello" with "ciao." All of the students love saying hello in different languages, so this was a good start to the day.


Following this, we worked on our unit of inquiry, How we express ourselves, and continued with the story, "The Little Red Hen." For this, we created a mini booklet and coloured each page. These will be sent home with each child tomorrow after class.


We also worked more with letters and read "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom." After, we learned to recognize letters on our own version of a coconut tree, similar to that in the book. We had a lot of fun with this. Here is what it looked like.

After, we had a dress rehearsal with the entire school for our performance in the Christmas Concert on December 15. This lasted until second lunch and then we practiced as a class following this until the end of school. It was a lot of fun and everyone is getting a hang of acting and performing. 

A few reminders:

-Picture Day forms/money are due tomorrow. 

-Please return any parent-teacher conference forms ASAP.

-Parent-Teacher conferences are on December 7 between 4-8 pm. 

Have a SUUUUUUUUUPER night, everyone!

MISS H.
