Just wanted to thank Mr. Lunty and Mr. Swaren for being such good sports and letting the kids jump all over them. At one point I heard a student say "This is my BEST year ever" as they were playing with dads!

What a fun day! We had our first session with Trickster and the kids had a ball! We worked with Cari to learn our script and actions for the Friday night performance. Our story revolves around Easter and rabbits visiting our room. To find out more, you'll have to come the final show. It is at 7pm here at the school in the gym. We worked on printing numbers 7 and 8. All through the year we have been printing all the numbers but now we are fine tuning all the details. In math we are starting to explore the concept of more and less by comparing quantities. After a break enjoying the fresh air, we printing Mr. Rr. I hope everyone had a great Easter and is ready to get back into the swing of things. Just a reminder that all the kids have school on Friday with Mrs. McMahon!

Holy, I can't believe we are in April already and I didn't post anything in March! I'm sorry!
Today was a busy one. We started the morning with our usual routine and then added some Easter excitement by making rice krispie nests with our Grade 3 buddies. Eating the nests and the chocolate eggs was definitely the highlight. We met Mr. R who likes to "rip rubber elastics".

After enjoying the beautiful weather at recess we headed downtown to the Public Library for Story time. They have been so generous to invite us down for a great reading and sharing program. Once back, the new hit in our room is the workshop. With the money donated at Christmas time, we bought a number of power tools for the kids to enjoy!

I can't believe it will be a week before we see each other again but I hope everyone has a Happy Easter and a great long weekend!
P.S Ask your kindergarten student to do the Easter Bunny Hokey Pokey with you for some fun over the holidays.
