Volunteer Breakfast

   If you have been helping out at the school in any way then you are a volunteer we would like to honour you.The invitations have been sent home, but please consider this post as your second invitation. The teachers are preparing a breakfast buffet for you and would be very happy to see you in the library this coming Tuesday, June the 14th at 8:15 am. I hope to see you there!

Camp Kindergarten is Open!

We have begun our last unit, Camp Kindergarten. The children will have turns playing in a tent, using toy camping tools, playing at the camp nurse's station, playing rainy day board games and reading camp and nature stories. We will do some camp crafts and sing lots of silly songs.

 Our circle time is now held around our (tissue paper and papier mache) campfire. We are singing songs like Fire's Burning and Down by the Bay and others.

We are using our imaginations to pretend to be going on canoe trips and other wilderness adventures. If your camper would like to bring in a sleeping bag or flashlight or bug net, they are very welcome. At the end of the month we will invite you to visit us at our cabin and watch us sing our songs and celebrate the end of our first year at school. Date to follow soon.

Jars Needed!

We are collecting clean, clear jars with lids with smooth sides for a special craft. (Shhh! It's for an upcoming holiday that honours a parent.) If you have any you can send it they would be most appreciated. Please put your child's name on the lid. If you have extra jars you can send in that would be excellent. Thank you!!

Volunteers for the Farm Field Trip

So many kind and keen parents have offered to come and help on our trip. All volunteers are welcome to come on the field trip. HOWEVER, there is only room on the buses for five volunteers per class. So if some people are willing to car pool or drive there themselves, that would be appreciated. Please email me at sarah.whitehead@ocdsb.ca  if you need to be on the bus and I will do my best to accomodate everyone. I will send home a note with your child tomorrow to let you know if you are riding the bus or driving. Thank you, everyone!

Huh?

There is a slight confusion about the cost of the Great Farm Field Trip. I think the first letter that went out said it would be $10 and then the trip permission form has updated this to $11.50. (As things became clearer to the very kind teacher who is organizing this for all the kindergarten classes, the real cost emerged.) If you read the letter more carefully and sent in $10 and would like to top up your offering, that will be appreciated. Also please note that as always, we never want the cost of trips to keep children from participating, and will cover this fee for anyone who needs this.
Thank you to all of you who have sent in your forms promptly. If you haven't signed them yet, time is now getting short. PLEASE send in your forms tomorrow. Thank you!

Aladdin

The morning class will be going to Nepean High School on Tuesday morning to see a dress rehearsal of their Children's Theatre program's play, Aladdin. The afternoon students are welcome to come to the school with their parents and come along with us. Meet us in the classroom at 9:10. Alternatively there are tickets available for a 7 pm show. The magic of May continues!!

Please Get Quacking!

Trip permission forms came home today. Please sign and return them tomorrow with the money for the trip fee while the idea is still fresh in your minds. Thank you !!
