BRAVO PARTY (March 30) The Bravo jar has finally been filled! Which means...party time! So the kids opted to do an ice cream party on Thursday of this week. I'm going to have them make their own yogurt pops on Wednesday so they will be ready for Thursday. (Yogurt + fruit + popsicle sticks and freeze!) We'll also put on a movie in the afternoon. If you would like to send in fruit for the party, please feel free. Speaking of ice cream, they have also chosen to change out dramatic play centre into an ice cream parlour. If anyone has empty ice cream containers, please send them in. Garden Quilt Project (April 7) All of the John McCrae Kindergarten classes will be participating in a multi-day "Garden Quilt Project" with artist-educator, Christina Kingsbury. This special project is funded in part through the Ontario Arts Council. We are asking that each student pay $5 to cover the remaining costs. Christina will have 4 separate visits with each class. During these visits we will be learning about biodiversity, pollination and recycling. Some of the activities include collecting seeds and plant material, creating hand made seed paper and sewing insect sculptures. It is preferable if you can make payments online. You may also send $5 cash to school with your child. Thank you for supporting this exciting project. Scientists in the School (April 20) As mentioned earlier, we are still looking for volunteers for this event. So far we only have one (thank you Amy!). It would be great if we had 3 more. Please let me know if you can attend. FYI Rainbow Day (April 10) and Pink Day (April 12) are also coming up! Kindergarten Yard We are looking at fixing up our yard to make it more awesome. Here is a list of things we are looking for. If you know anyone who might have these items (or you have them yourself), can you please let me know and we can arrange pickup etc.
Thanks so much for considering any of these items. We really appreciate all of your help and support!!!
