including preparing for the Kindergarten Farewell! Some of the things the students will be learning now
until June include: Geometry and Measurement (Mathematics); The Best Part of Me (Health); Magnets,
Butterflies, and Plants (Science), First Nations and Treaty Education (Social Studies); Story Recall and
Retell, Letter Sounds and Recognition (English Language Arts).
Thank you for attending the three-way conferences. It was a pleasure spending time with you and
celebrating your childs learning.
April Scholastic order forms will be sent home this week and will be due Monday, April 11 (ordering is

The Kindergarten to Grade 8 Inquiry of Learning Celebration (What is Our Story?) will be on Wednesday,

through play. A formal invitation with more information about the celebration will be sent home this week.
Show and Share Fridays will be on April 15th and 29th. Students may bring one item to show and share
the class. Your child can bring their discovery bottle to show and share with the class at any time this

SAVE-THE-DATE - Our Kindergarten Class Farewell will be on Wednesday, June 22 at 2:15 pm. More
information about the Farewell will be given at a later date. Please note that this is NOT the last day of
Kindergarten.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious
learning. Play is really the work of childhood.
