This Week:

Some Casa children chose to participate in our annual KMS ski day! The conditions were great and the weather was beautiful.

As a staff, we enjoyed meeting with some of you at our Parent Education Session. We hope you found the session valuable. If you weren’t able to make it, we have sent home some information in your child’s file for you to read at your leisure.

Next Week:

If you haven’t had a chance to meet Cassidy, introduce yourself at pickup next week! She is a Fleming Student completing her Early Childhood Educator practicum in Casa!

Tip/Reminder:

Registration goes out on Monday. Please feel free to contact any of the teachers or office administration with any questions you may have.

We also have a Parent Open House on Saturday January 26th, 2018. Please tell your friends and family to come and see KMS!

This Week:

We can’t believe it is the last week of November!

We had a busy week here in Casa with lessons and beginning to practice singing and signing our Christmas songs.

We have gathered a number of clothing items from the week. Please see the picture of the Casa Lost and Found!

Next Week:

Santa Shop is happening next Thursday. Students will get a chance to go shopping with their Upper Elementary friends to buy gifts for their family members.  Stay tuned for more communication around this.

On Friday next week, “Gummy” Molly Harris’s grandma is coming in to do some Gingerbread Christmas Ornaments with both Casa Classes.

We are looking forward to getting in the Christmas spirit with both of these fun activities.

Tip/Reminder:

‘Tis the season for colds and flu. Please make sure to keep your child home if they are sick in order to refrain from spreading germs.

Secondly, please ensure you have all your child’s winter clothing labelled.   Also please double check backpacks for items that may not belong to you!

We spoke about the importance of Remembrance Day through conversation and books. A special guest came in to help us make our own Poppies to hold at the Remembrance Day Ceremony .

Thank you to all who were able to join us for another successful Parent/Child Open House! It fills our buckets to see your children taking pride in sharing their work with you 🙂

Happy PA DAY!

Making Stone Soup with Aimee’s mom, Anne, was the highlight of the week! Students enjoyed bringing in their vegetables and preparing it for the soup. Most students even enjoyed trying the Soup!

 Next Week:

Dig out your Orange and Black colours for Halloween on Wednesday! We will be talking all about Halloween safety next week and making a Halloween craft! We ask that you please save your costumes for Halloween night!

With the winter season fast approaching, please ensure all your child’s belongings are labelled!

Also, please send your child with appropriate clothing for the weather (ie mitts, hats etc). We only have so many extra pieces of clothing to lend out.

 

This Week:

During circle time and while decorating our mason jars, we have enjoyed sharing the people, places and things that we are thankful for. We often share these things throughout our whole year, not just Thanksgiving, but it was an extra highlight with the holiday weekend approaching 🙂

This Week:  

The Canadian Weather has hit yet again with an ice storm and more snow!  It was a quiet day around here on Monday. The few Casa children who were here spent the afternoon in Casa South’s classroom.

It was also a busy week with with multiple visitors. We had Stephanie from Under One Sun here to talk to us about a fundraising opportunity for our school. Stay tuned for more information about this.  Today’s Earth Day celebration was a favourite for our students. We had Glen from Camp Kawartha in to sing songs and preform a puppet show. Glen has also donated a number of trees to our school, which we will be planting when the ground thaws.

 

Next Week: 

It’s the last week of April!  Time sure flies around here! We will begin to start talking about Mother’s Day and showing our appreciation to all the mothers out there. We will be having our monthly fire drill practice sometime next week and let’s hope the warmer weather is on its way!

 

Tip/Reminder:

Please spend some time appreciating our beautiful Earth that we live in.

Here are some ideas that our Casa students came up with:

• Pick up garbage
• Plant a tree
• Recycle
• Turn off your lights when you’re not in the room
• Compost to make good soil
• Try to reduce waste (Litter-less lunches)
• Do not waste paper products as these come from trees
• Protect nature

Have a great weekend!
