Tender Tuesday

Today we celebrated friendship in our kindergarten classroom. The students were very excited to hand out their Valentines to their classmates. We talked as a class about friendship and how we care for others. We read a book called, Big Bear Hug, where a bear showed his love and caring by hugging others. This act of kindness helped him save a tree in the forest.

We talked about the way that we can show caring.  Some of our ideas included:
- hugging
- cuddling
- playing together
- reading a book together
- helping each other
- smiling

We also had a chance to practice our drumming with Ms. Lysak and Mr. Stockton came to help us finish off our story! We are almost ready for practice, practice, practice :)

Ways to support my child's learning at home:
-Over the break, practice our letters and letters sounds. We are using these lots in activities and writing in kindergarten
-Talk about the things that pets need. Which things are hard to give them? Which are easy?

Reminders:

Kind regards,
Mrs. Patten
