Our new water table has been assembled and is ready for the hot weather this week. We are looking forward to greeting our youngest learners tomorrow! @alcdsb_olmc

What a beautiful end of the year kindergarten ceremony today with Father Shea! Thank you @LeanneMcGuinne4 for sharing your musical talent! 💗 @alcdsb_olmc @alcdsb @Mme_Roberts @Mme_A_Noel @lisa_amey #BetterTogether #ALCDSBMYSP #ALCDSBFormed

I am not sure who was more excited today, the kids or the grownups! After consulting an “expert,” it turns out that our froglets are toads. Let the learning (and habitat changeover) begin! @alcdsb_olmc

This tadpole inquiry has brought us so many wonderful surprises and rich learning opportunities. Not only are we watching as our tadpoles change, but have also discovered a nematode, mayfly nymphs, and even hatched mayflies! @alcdsb_olmc

Science Friday always brings so much joy and wonder to our room, and today’s experiment did not disappoint! @alcdsb_olmc

Reminder: Kindergarten registration for @alcdsb_olmc is open!! Come join us on your learning journey! Check out what we have been up to this year with @MmeJulieBell @Mme_Roberts , @LeanneMcGuinne4 , & myself! 🌈 🦋 💌🫧🎲

We love using games to differentiate our literacy small groups. Students love practicing code sounds, heart words, decodable words, and sentences through play. @alcdsb_olmc

@JenniferMorin76 @alcdsb_olmc Vinyl tablecloths from the dollar store 🙂

@Mme_Roberts @alcdsb_olmc So amazing! What were the capes made out of?

For Catholic Education Week and Mental Health week, we talked about what superpowers God gave us. Each student chose a power that they have, and made a cape. Self-regulation, persistence, imagination, and empathy are just a few of our powers. #ALCDSBCEW #ALCDSBMHW @alcdsb_olmc

When bugs frighten us, we do some research and become experts! Today we learned all about midges (not mayflies). We learned that they have the same lifecycle as our bees, that males have feathered antenna, and most importantly, that they can’t hurt us! @alcdsb_olmc

When students show an interest in bees, you “fly with it!” We are learning so much about pollination, the importance of bees, and what we can do to save the bees. @alcdsb_olmc

Today we made our own palms to celebrate Palm Sunday. We sang « Hosanna » and had a parade around the Kindergarten yard. @alcdsb_olmc

During outdoor play, one of the Kinders noticed “Mme there is so much garbage! Can we clean it up?” Soon there was a group of 8 cleaning the yard together. @alcdsb_olmc

Today is World Down Syndrome Day. Don't forget to Rock your Socks! youtube.com/watch?v=pUUWRO… @alcdsb_olmc @alcdsb

When a leprechaun plays tricks on the class and leaves a message (that we could read independently) what do we do? Try to trap him of course! @alcdsb_olmc

During open exploration time, our students are always asking to write books and share them with the class. We are so proud of how independent and creative our Kinders are with their writing! @alcdsb_olmc

We are so proud how our students used their umbrella skill of resilience today when our field trip was canceled. An impromptu PJ day, Cheerio bird feeders, animal hide and seek, and painting on snow helped to make what started as a disappointing morning better! @alcdsb_olmc

The Bayshore Transitional Care Unit invited our Kindergarten classes to play in the snow in their courtyard while residents watched. Not sure whose smiles were bigger... Ours or theirs! 😁@alcdsb_olmc @alcdsb @bayshore_health @Mme_Roberts @Mme_A_Noel #ALCDSBMYSP #ALCDSBFormed

Snow days are for hibernating… (or at least learning about hibernation!) @alcdsb_olmc
