Le Roi Daniels Kindergarten 2019-2020
Pink Shirt Day February 26th, 2019 Our school is taking part in Pink Shirt Day on Wednesday, Feb.26th. This is a national event to create awareness about bullying and teach students kindness and empathy. Students are encouraged to wear pink this day. If one clothing item is pink then the others can be your choice. If students do not have any pink then they are expected to wear their uniforms. Our afternoon class will be attending an assembly about Pink Shirt Day hosted by the grade one students at 1:30pm on this day. For more information about Pink Shirt Day see http://pinkshirtday.ca We have been talking about bigger numbers and getting the children to practice counting to 10 leading up to the 100th Day of School on Thursday February 27th 2020. On this day, we will be having a celebration in our classes for “100’s Day” and have sent home 100's Day activities for homework this week. To get in the spirit of 100’s Day we are asking that your child come to school on Thursday February 27th, dressed and looking as if they are 100 years old. Talk with them about what that may look like when they are 100 years old. For example grey hair, spectacles, grandma/grandpa type clothing, wrinkles, a cane etc. Use your imagination. If you search "100th Day of School costume ideas online, there are lots of examples to give you some ideas. *** 100’s Day Project*** As an at home assignment we are asking you to work with your child on a student/parent project that shows 100 of something in a clear plastic bottle. The project should include 100 countable pieces. Please make sure that the bottle is well sealed and labelled with your child's name. Have them practice counting groups of 10 as they put the objects into the jar. Healthy Eating Our students enjoyed taking part in our Food Impact activity. They enjoyed learning about different kinds of foods and taking part in a variety of activities about nutritious foods. We are continuing to talk about making healthy choices and encouraging the children to eat their healthy snacks before they eat their treats. Some of our students have been expressing that they are hungry soon after arriving at school. Please remind your child/children to eat enough before they arrive as our snack time is 10-15 minutes and they only have time for a small snack. Please help teach your child how to open their snacks (containers, packages, bananas etc.) and provide cutlery when needed. If the container is difficult for them to open (e.g. fruit cups etc.) then consider putting it into another reusable container that they are confident opening and closing on their own.
