May

May May May!!! It is May and June is quickly coming! The students have been working hard on finishing their many projects for the end of the school year. Lately the students have been learning about butterflies and insects and the importance they have in our environment. We have recently been able to see a praying mantis nest hatch, along with butterflies. It was a great introduction to learning about insects!


 End of the year field trip: The students will be going on an end of the year field trip to the science centre in June (June 18th). The whole school will be attending the field trip. The Kindergarten students have the opportunity to see a video (in the new dome), about weather in the solar system at the new science centre in Calgary. The students will also be able to explore the new science centre and in addition they will see the solar system video in the new dome featured at the science centre. The students are quite excited and it is a great opportunity for the students to visualize what they have already learned about space and expand their knowledge about the solar system.


 Mrs. Ralph and I will be teaching the leaders a music song using the xylophones and recorders. The students will be encouraged to practice singing the song at home. We will also be sending home the words of the songs along with a practice sheet for the students to visualize and practice for the end of the year performance.


 Show-and-Share - The students are interested in having another show-and-share so for the next two weeks the students may bring in an object to share with their friends. Here is the list for the next 2 weeks.
