Class News Update

Here's this week's news!

1) We are finishing Folk Tales and moving into a week of Fancy Nancy and Dress Up! This week will include the Fancy Nancy Books, getting dressed up, and singing a groovy song called Disco Bingo! It should all come together for a little peformance on Friday, Feb. 15 at the assembly. If the assembly is canceled it may be postponed. Division 14 will do a presentation in the office or in the library for the buddy class. I'll update the blog for more information.

2) Valentines Day. Yes, there will be a Valentines Theme on Thursday. The school has a spirit day of Valentine Colours. So, wear red or pink if possible. We will have some Valentine activities and goodies in the class. Thank you to the parents who have already volunteered to bake. All unannouced addtional treats are welcome. Remember there are peanut allergies in Division 15.

3) The Vision Clinic is visiting our class on Thursday at 9:30. They haven't said it there will be a Division 14 visit.

4) The Gala! The great annual Gala is on Friday. Be sure to go to the Gala link on the right to find out more information. Pictures of our gorgeous platters are on the link. Remember to scroll down. Wouldn't it be wonderful to own the platter from your child's kindergarten class? Show up and bid! There is only one for each class.

5) Michelle. Michelle should return on Tuesday. (Audience applause)

6) The Bare Necessities. I am working on a little clip with audio for the children to practice the our class song for the play. It will be posted soon.

7) Volunteers! Help. We lost our volunteers with the switch. Please let me know if you can help out. There is lots of jobs in the classroom. Plus, there will be upcoming ways to help out with little jobs for preparing for the play - making tickets, programs, etc.

8) Screencasts/ podcasts. Help your child explore the podcasts/ screencasts in the right column. I'm trying to build the blog as a resource for the children's learning at home. Stay tuned for more educational learning.

9) Swarm! There's a great performance (that's not our class) at 9:00 on Friday in the gym. Division 15 will see it. This is also the reason why I won't be surprised it Mr. Hooper cancels our assembly. At the moment, our Disco Bingo Class performance is still scheduled for Friday too. I'll update with more information about the time when Mr. Hooper confirms assembly time.

Love Mrs. App
