Hello Mulvey families! 

I cannot believe that June has arrived! We have had such a wonderful kindergarten journey this year that has been full of learning, fun, friendship, and many exciting achievements.

Kindness has been a central theme in our classroom throughout the year. Students worked hard to create a meaningful video all about kindness, which they proudly shared with the entire school. Our presentation was a great success, delivering an important message for everyone.

During the month of May, we were learning about different animals that we would see at the farm. We read books, looked at pictures, had conversations, and we also experienced many discovery centres involving farm animals. Our culminating field trip to Morning Sound Farm was a fantastic experience! The highlights of the field trip included hands-on interactions with baby animals like kittens, puppies, chicks, and bunnies to exciting activities such as sheep shearing (haircut) demonstrations, pony rides, and even milking a goat!

In the classroom, we have been reinforcing letter recognition, sounds, and formation. We have also been exploring word families such as cat, mat, sat, etc. We continue to practice our writing skills by making word family books, labelling pictures, sounding out words, and engaging in fun rhyming activities during literacy time. Over the summer, please continue reading with your child and practice your letter recognition and sounds when possible.

In math, we have been working on printing our numbers to 20 by “starting at the top” just like our alphabet letters. We will continue to explore a variety of math centres that focus on counting, building numbers, patterns, 3-D shapes, as well as practicing some simple addition through hands-on games and the use of math manipulatives.   

Parents/guardians, thank you for all of your continued support and encouragement through the school year. It has been an amazing experience being part of your child’s kindergarten journey and such a rewarding experience to see their growth and learning unfold. I would like to wish everyone a safe, relaxing, FUN, and fantastic summer break and wish all of my amazing students all the best for their next school year!

Friendly reminder: Please remember to mark your calendars for Wednesday, June 18^th at 1:30 p.m. for our Kindergarten Celebration in the Mulvey School gym.
