June 22-26

Oh my!

Wow! June 22-26 is our LAST WEEK of school for the year! Everyone is going to be going to Year Two, and Grade One! Here is our fun schedule for the last week:

9:30 Monday: Baking/Making Day! Pick a recipe and we will all bake at the same time! You can show us what you are making, how you measure, or the ingredients you’ve picked. What are you going to make? It can be a dessert, a meal, a sandwich…whatever you like! Yum!

9:30 Tuesday: Craft Day – Open-ended, ‘create something out of a toilet paper tube’ craft! Use what you have around the house. It will be fun to get creative! You can colour, glue, tape. Hmmm. What will you make? Bring your materials, and we will craft together!

9:30 Wednesday: Walk in the Garden – we will go outside and look at plants growing. You can watch our tour, or go outside and show us your flower pots or vegetable garden! We can look for stems, leaves, and flowers!

Thursday – Come to school to pick up your Report Card! Mrs. Baranesky and Ms. Dubreuil will be outside our Kindergarten doors from 11:00 – 1:00. We’d love to see you if you can make it! 🙂 There will be pylons and proper distancing in place!

9:30 Friday: Minute to Win it Game Day!! We are going to have some fun games planned. Please assemble what you have from the list below. If you don’t have something, don’t worry – it will be fun to cheer on your friends, and you can participate in the other games! Assemble what you have: the front of a cereal (or other) box, cut into puzzle pieces; spoon, bowl and mini marshmallows (or goldfish crackers or cheerios); straw, cereal, spaghetti noodles, a cup, and some cookies.

It will be such a fun week to finish our year of kindergarten! Here is our last learning grid for you to choose from, as well!
