Keeping your Home Language Alive

Hello Families,

Here is another fantastic resource.  These two documents are intended for families whose first language is not English.  Additionally, resources like this often have great ideas to develop strong a language for all language learners, so all families are welcome to the resources:)

Learning at Home

Please see the Message From CBE Leadership

Class cancellations are unusual and challenging events.  During this short period before spring break, we encourage families to maintain a balanced and consistent routine for children; including regular sleeping and eating times, breaks for activity and outdoor time, and healthy boundaries on screen time.   

After spring break, additional learning resources and activities will be shared to support students in learning.     

Children are naturally curious learners and there are opportunities at home to engage their learning. We have created a webpage (see below) that offers a variety of educational ideas to support literacy, numeracy and wellness at home for this week. The resources are meant as suggestions only. You may choose to use the links and activities as needed over the next few days as more long-term educational programming is considered. 

Learning at Home

Hello

Hi Kinder Families,

Thank you so much for your patience and understanding during this unprecedented time! 

I wanted to touch base and let you know that I MISS you so much!  It is so weird being in the classroom without YOU!  It is so quiet!  Who would have ever thought I would be the noise...lol


At this point, we are still waiting on how to move forward with Learning at Home from CBE Leadership and Alberta Learning.  Please take this time to go for a walk, bake, play a game, color and just be together as a family! 


All the best,

Mrs. Sloane

We WEAR Math and Important e-mail

Please make sure you have read the important e-mail from Coventry Hills School sharing the details of School Based Events being Cancelled...which includes Parent Teacher Conferences next Wednesday and Thursday

Whoops...I forgot to hand out the Library Bags!  I'll send them home Monday!

Look at all the MATH we wore today!  Can you tell what our MATH is?

BIG Math and Wear MATH

Today we did some BIG math!  

We had to read Mrs. Sloane's instructions, color the shapes, count the shapes and then graph them!

Look at us working HARD!

Remember tomorrow we are wearing MATH!  We can wear shapes, patterns and number! 

Tomorrow is Library Day!

Mrs. Sloane is excited to share all the BIG learning that has happened since we last met in November.  If you have any trouble booking a Conference, please e-mail Mrs. Sloane or call the Main Office!

Today we figured out What month of the year were most students in your class born in?

To celebrate Math Month, we are wearing MATH on March 12th!  

Students and teachers are encouraged to wear math themed clothing! 

Patterned, numbered, shaped shirts, socks, pants etc. are welcome. 

 

Fire Drill

Today we welcomed the Harvest Hills Fire Department as we practiced our Fire Drill protocol.  Mrs. Sloane was so proud of how the students quietly left the classroom, walked to our meeting space and waited for Mrs. Sloane!

Does your family have a fire escape plan?  Firefighter Cam told us that we need to have a plan and practice it twice a year...just like how we practice at school!

Lock Down and PM Kinder Tomorrow

Today we had our FIRST Lock Down.  The Kinders were incredible!  They sat near the GREEN dot waiting to meet the CPS officer.  When the CPS officer came into our class, he thought nobody was in our class because we were soooo quiet!

Ask your child how they felt about the Lock Down!

We have Kindergarten tomorrow!  

We get Music with Mrs. Cook, Gym with Mrs. Brady and Buddies with our Grade 3 friends!

Don't forget to send an extra BIG snack...our day is long and we get hungry working so HARD!

OWLS

After meeting Ophelia we learned how to draw an owl. 

We followed a guided drawing and as we drew we noticed all the features of the owl.  Today we colored our owls...some kids decided to use their imagination when coloring and colored their owl with BRIGHT colors!

 Tomorrow is LIBRARY Day
