A message from Mrs. Moore...

Hello my sweet Kindergarten students and families,

I have been trying to put together a video for you all but have been having a lot of technology/compatibility problems with my devices from home. So until I figure that out, I wanted to reach out with a typed message at least.

First, we have been asked to provide the following message regarding continuation of learning:

“At this time, we are waiting to hear from the system level what the next steps will be in regards to future programming for our students. Information will be communicated as soon as we know more from the Calgary Board of Education. This is a new situation for everyone and we want to assure you that the school will be communicating this information to our families as soon as we have a plan and procedures in place. Thank you for your patience and understanding.”

“In the meantime, the CBE has put together some resources until a long range plan is in place.  To access the resources, please click on the linkhttps://www.cbe.ab.ca/programs/curriculum/learning-at-home/Pages/k-6.aspx.”

Please feel free to email, even if it's just to say 'hi' or share a picture! Hopefully I will get the technology problems sorted out and then I will be able to share some videos and pictures to keep the kinders' spirits up! tkcarstairs@cbe.ab.ca

Know that I miss all of you very much, but I know that you are smart cookies and that you will be able to show your parent/parents all the things that you have learned in kindergarten so far!

After Spring Break there will be more information regarding possible online learning. In the interim please stay safe and healthy and be kind to one another.

Big hugs,
Mrs. Moore

P.S. Frank says 'stay home and stay healthy!' x

Learning at Home

The CBE has put together some ideas for Learning at Home

Please take a look at the great ideas.

What a fantastic learning opportunity this is for students to see that 

learning happens everywhere, everyday 

Student Led Conferences - Postponed

Student Led Conferences have been postponed Dear Parents, Based on the changing provincial and local response to COVID-19, the CBE has given us direction to postpone our Student Led Conferences scheduled for March 19 and 20.  Please note that Thursday, March 19 is still an early dismissal day for students in grades 1 to 4.  Students will be dismissed at 12:00 pm on that day.  There is no school for Kindergarten students on March 19 and there is no school for all students on March 20.  All CBE schools have been given direction to postpone or cancel events that include populations from other schools and/or parents or other community members, such as Parent-Teacher Interviews, celebrations of learning, drama/musical performances, dances, athletic competitions, etc. This decision is effective from Mar. 12 until the end of March break. This decision will be revisited during March break to determine whether events should be rescheduled. Events outside of school hours that include the regular student and staff population of the school (school clubs, practices, etc) and scheduled field trips may continue at this time.   I know this may be disappointing news. Students and staff have spent a significant amount of time preparing for this event, but the health of our community is our priority.  For the most up to date information about the CBE’s approach to COVID-19 and the actions we are taking, please visit our website. Answers to frequently asked questions will continue to be posted as information becomes available. Thank you, Todd Faunt Principal

Inline Skating Video!

Our class hosted this week's announcements! Here is the link to our video about how we enjoyed inline skating!

Our Learning

The students have asked that I share one of their favourite videos with parents on the blog! The following video explains syllables in a kid-friendly way. Syllables are an element of phonemic awareness (the ability to hear and manipulate phonemes-or units of sounds). Our class has been working on a variety of phonemic awareness skills such as rhyming, distinguishing the beginning and ending sounds of words, segmenting a sentence, and syllables. These skills are all important building blocks in reading and spelling success.

You can find the video on syllables HERE.

Here are some pictures from last week of our writing about Pink Shirt Day and new center activities.

Helmets for inline skating

Just a reminder to send your child to school with a helmet (bike helmet is fine) for the next two days for inline skating! I have asked the students to keep the helmets at school until Wednesday (although I had a few who insisted mom said don't leave it at school :))! so it may or may not have come home today:)

Thanks!
Mrs. Moore
