Estimadas familias,
Today we welcomed our new kindergartens and grade 1's to the school for a very special open house from 11:30am-12:30pm. Our current kindergarten students had the chance to visit grade 1 classrooms while our new kindergartens spent time in the K classrooms. New grade 1's also joined our current kinders in the grade 1 classrooms.
Before touring the classrooms, it was my pleasure to treat our newest learners to an introductory carpet time in the Learning Commons. Together we sang songs in Spanish, practiced some vocabulary about shapes and colours, and demonstrated to our happy audience of parents and guardians, how language instruction begins in the early years. We have some excited and keen new students that are showing a lot of readiness for school in September! I am very appreciative of the collaboration between our K-1 teachers, support staff and other teachers to ensure our new students experienced a calm and happy welcome to their future school.
A reminder that next Thursday evening parents/guardians are welcome to attend a free Wellness Workshop with Amber Pavey
Learn how to develop healthy ways to address the stress, anxiety, and the overwhelm of modern life for children and families.
The session will include:
• What is mindfulness?
• How and why can it help?
• Practices to improve well-being and mental health.
• Wellness techniques to reduce stress, anxiety and overwhelm.
• How to support yourself and your children during challenging times. We provide tools to support families of all faiths and none.
I look forward to participating in this workshop alongside our families and hope to see many of you there. Adults "set the temperature" for the children in their lives so knowing what we can do to model social-emotional self-care has a lasting impact.
