All Kindergarten students thoroughly enjoyed both the visit by "Little Ray's Reptiles Zoo" at school, as well as their field trip to the
Museum of Agriculture, better know as the “Farm”. Thank you
again to all volunteers who made this animal adventure a great
success!
In June we will naturally discuss summer/
l’été with a focus on insects, water safety, and summer activities. We hope to help children develop a sense of awe and respect for some of
God's smallest creatures, an awareness about water safety, and an overall appreciation for the beauty and
relaxation of our summer season.

Later this month, the SENIOR Kindergarten students will
begin
the transition into the regular afternoon
recess, (1:25-1:40) in preparation for Grade 1. [All outdoor toys (ie. balls) should be labeled.]
JUNIOR students will be staying indoors and enjoying small group inquiries during this time.
REPORT CARDS
Final report cards will be sent home the last week of school. Just a reminder that as listed on the developmental key, a 'DE' indicates that your child is "developing as expected", = meeting the Kindergarten program expectations as outlined by the Ministry of Education. Children who are demonstrating skills (< in class) that are significantly above ministry standards would merit a ‘WD’, which signifies “the skill is well developed”. A 'BD' indicates that a child is “beginning to develop” the skill in question and requires further reinforcement. A 'NT' signifies "needs more time and experience", as the skill or expectation in question has not yet begun to develop or is not being demonstrated at school. Information regarding next year's entry will be included with the report card.
FYI:
We
will be celebrating all our summer birthdays
this month along with those on the corresponding dates in June. Please send any summer birthday invitations prior to
the last week of school.
(The last week is crazy busy with lots of things going home, so invitations often go missing.)
