"Ee" homework for Thursday (instead of Tuesday)

Dear Families, 
We have only had 2 children bring in their "Ee" items for our lesson on Thursday. Please help them to find an E item to share with the class. Your help is needed for our lesson to work.

Things you may have at home to bring in: toy elephant, toy egg, letter e magnet, something with an ear or an eye on it etc.

Thank you,
Mrs. K and Mrs. P

A few snap shots from today!

Cold weather clothing and labeling, space song going home today, super hero gift basket.

Dear Parents, 
With the cold weather upon us, please remember to send your child to school with appropriate clothing. Please also remember to label everything as we have several items in our lost and found without names (and our kids do not recognize any of them).

You will notice the "Space Song" sheet has gone home with your child today. Please help them to practice this for our concert coming up on December 10th (more details to follow).

A notice that our Purple Room has been selected to help build a super hero gift basket also went home today. Please help us to make it a great one, by providing items that go with this theme. Examples are, capes, masks, super hero colouring books, crafting items etc.These are due by December 4th. 

Thank you for all of your help to make the Purple Room the best that it can be!

Dear Families,
We will be learning the letter "Ee" on Tuesday. Please help your child find something at home that they can share, that starts with this letter. A toy elephant, a small eggplant, a hard boiled egg, an elf etc.

Your child will briefly present what they brought in, and we will make a class list of everything that we got. It will be returned.

Thank you,

Soup making in the morning, soup tasting in the afternoon!

We washed, we chopped, we poured and sprinkled.
We made a plan, we read "Stone Soup", we tasted and we even had seconds.

Our class had a blast planning our two soups, creating, tasting and writing about our soups. 

Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this such a great "soup" day. Soup making was easy and fun...especially with all of the help and cooperation.

Please ask your little one about the day. 
Questions to prompt: 
1) What did you do today?
2) What story did you listen to?
3) What did you put into the soup?
4) What did you think about the soup?
5) Did you try both? If so, which one did you like best?

Have a great Wednesday and we will see you all tomorrow.
Mrs. Porto and Mrs. Kimberley :)

Today we did so much...

Table activities consisted of: Language soup activity, math/shape match, letter puzzle match, snap cube pattern making.

During carpet time: A few of our girls built a stage to have a ballet rehearsal on. Some of our boys decided to make a Lego city.

Please ask your child what they did during table top activities and during carpet play today.

NOTE: Friday is our day of Pink, please have your child wear pink to recognize anti-bullying.

pyjama day

Measuring, building, lining up and marshmallow cooking...

Carpet play before library time.

We are making soup next week!

Today we read the story "Surprise Soup". The class enjoyed discussing what they could use to make their own soup.

Mrs. Kimberley and I talked about making our own soup next week with our Purple Room. We are going to make "Stone Soup" and read the story!

What we need from each student is one item that they think belong in soup:

ie,, carrots, potatoes, beans, vegetable broth, chicken broth, pasta/noodles, crackers, celery, corn, tomatoes, onions, meatballs etc.

Please bring in your one item by Tuesday so we can make it on Wednesday!

This is going to be so much fun!
