Hi KE families!!!

We had a good first week in KE! Children were excited to see some familiar faces in close by classes and are becoming familiar with the class and school! The next couple of weeks our focus will be on building relationships and learning routines.

On Friday, we had our first fire drill. They all did AWESOME!!!! Well done KE. 

In literacy we will also be starting our orientation week in Fundations! The Children are very excited to wake up "Mama Echo" our class owl (puppet..but many question if she is real) that will help lead this program. During this first week we will focus on the letters t, b, and f

Last week in math, we discussed the number 0 and this week we will work on the number 1 and will start to learn some games that support the kindergarten math outcomes.

It is important to know that we currently have 3 staff working in the class. Myself (Ms. Sarah) and two EAs (Ms. Cass and Ms. Hannah). If there are any more changes regarding staff in our class, I will let you know!

If students could come with their water bottles full, this would be greatly appreciated. Students will also need a snack and a lunch each day. Please note that there are no forks or spoons provided with the school/provincial lunch programs. Students must bring their own.

I will try to notify and inform students and families of any of dates when I will be out of class. Usually these are PD days and I know in advance. However, there are times I am out unexpectedly. If there is any changes in your child’s afterschool routines, please ensure you call the school so the message gets properly delivered.

Please feel free to follow our class on Instagram. You can find me @msriehl. Please note I only allow current year parents to follow and no faces or names are shown on this account
