JK PRINTING BOOKLETS

The practice printing booklets, referred to in the December Newsletter, were sent home on Wed. Dec. 19th.
We have also included a laminated sheet that wipes off easily.  (Afternoon RED Group Junior Kindergarten students have not received their laminated printing sheet yet. - SORRY.)

These tools are only for HOME USE.  We do not need these items returned to school.  Please keep the booklets and laminated sheet accessible so they may be used over the holidays to keep those little fingers nimble while furthering the development of their fine motor skills.  After the holidays, please encourage any and all printing at every opportunity. Remember children don't always have to use a pencil or marker to practice shapes of letters. You can make printing practice more fun by using a cookie sheet of chocolate pudding, or a layer of sugar, salt or sand, or simply cutting out or rolling playdough into the shapes.

Thank you for your support.

Once more, we wish you a blessed Christmas holiday and a Happy New Year! Enjoy family time together.

Sincerely,
The Kindergarten Teachers

Where: Church Hall

Lunch is provided.

What a great way to get into the Christmas spirit! There is no need to reserve a spot. Nothing is required. Just arrive and be prepared to have fun! There is sure to be much excitement and activity. It even includes lunch!

ARE YOU COMING DEC.13?

We have sent home an RSVP note to parents asking if you are able to volunteer with our Christmas Craft on Thursday, December 13th?  Please look for this yellow note in your child's mailbag in order to fill it out and return it to school as soon as possible.   We are also seeking a few electric mixers, which are required to make the icing for our crafts.

*ALLERGY ALERT!!   Although we tell the children that this craft is only a DECORATION, the candy and icing are extremely tempting for little ones to resist. Please notify the teacher and send in your own icing and treats if this presents a concern for your child.

*All SK students require a small 250 ml milk carton in order to participate in the craft, so if you have not sent yours in yet, please do so before the event!
