Hi “Chickadee Dot” families! I hope this blog entry finds you enjoying the evening!
Today was another great day!
The children are adjusting very well to the huge adjustment of coming to Kindergarten every day! They are amazing!!!
If they are tired at night it is because they are working so hard! They are learning to listen carefully to instructions from ALL their teachers, follow the routines of dressing and undressing to/from outside play, listen carefully to stories and learning discussions, share and play with friends, walk in a straight “train”, eat quietly and tidy up etc. This is A LOT of hard work for our little 3, 4 and 5 year olds! ….and they are doing AMAZING! We are praising and encouraging them for their hard work and doing our best to give them “TLC” when needed!
Just a “few” items to remind you about:
*If your child is absent, please send an email to the KHPS absence email address instead of me. I do like to know as well and you can also send me an email if you want but please send this information to the office early to avoid us calling you to confirm your child’s absence! Thanks so much!
Khpsattendance@ocdsb.ca
*Verification forms are due back to the office via “Mr. Zippy” please
*20$ donation
*Open House will be held here at KHPS on Tuesday, September 20th from 4-6 pm! We will be painting rocks for our AMAZING school-wide ROCK garden on Thursday, September 15th (this Thursday). We are asking you to please send your child in older clothes as the paint we will be using is acrylic and IF some paint should get on your child’s clothes, this won’t be so heartbreaking. Thank-you for your help with this!
*Terry Fox walk/run for the school as well as Kinder students is approaching mid-September. More information coming soon!
Here are some pics for you to enjoy from today! Lots of learning going on through PLAY! Take a look!
