K2 June Newsletter

On Monday June 8^th, the St. George Kindergarten students will be going to the Agriculture and Food Museum.  Please return the signed permission form to school and pay the 9$ fee on line at https://ocsb.schoolcashonline.com if you have not done so already.  Also, please make sure your child is at school at 9:10 that morning so we can do attendance, divide into groups, go to the washroom and be ready to leave by bus at 9:30!  We will be eating our lunches at the museum so your child must have a lunch that is easy to eat outside.  If necessary, please put sunscreen on your child before school and make sure he/she is wearing active-wear clothing, appropriate for the weather, and has a water bottle with his/her name on it.   Thank you to all the parents who volunteered to help!

In French, we have been working on a play called “Mistigris”.  The words are posted on the blog if you want to practise at home. We have also been learning some dances and the K1 class will be performing the Gummy Bear dance to the K2 class who will, in turn, present the Jump Up dance.  You can watch these videos at “Just dance for Kindergarten” on You Tube.

During the summer months, continue to read to your child.  Have them point out familiar words (like “and”, “the”, “he”, “she”, “was”, etc.) in the story.  Have your child predict what will happen next, or have them “tell” the story by “reading” the pictures.  Children can count, sort, and classify things like shells, rocks and sticks they find.  They can add and take away objects, or count how many umbrellas there are on the beach.  Keep things light and fun, and your child will be eager to learn again in September!

Thank you very much for your support this year!  We wish you all a good summer!
