Mes chers amis,
We have reached the last week of your kindergarten year! It has been our pleasure to be your teachers this year! We have had a very exciting year with Mme. Jenny joining us, to Mme. Mauro leaving to have her sweet baby girl. Then Mme. Giugliani joined us for term 2 and we began learning from home in term 3! You have been so resilient and adaptable through it all. And how lucky to have had 4 teachers plant the seed of learning for your kindergarten year!
Mme. Mauro will continue to be on maternity leave for the 2020/21 school year but she wishes you all the best in Gr.1!
We congratulate Mme. Giugliani on getting a full–time position as the French Immersion Kindergarten Teacher this upcoming 2020/2021 school year!
Thank you parents for supporting your child’s learning this year but especially for your support with the online lessons. When we work together, amazing things can happen. I end this message with a quote from my favourite poem :
“And each agreed they would have failed, if they had worked alone.
For behind the parent, stood the school
And behind the teacher, stood the home”
We have prepared a special video for you as a keepsake of your kindergarten year. Here is the link. We hope you enjoy it!

Spending and Giving Money We have learned that:
The final learning expectation is:
It is important to develop an altruistic attitude around money. Altruism is concern for the well-being of others. To act in a self-less way. There are many ways to give to others: consider the food bank drives we have done at school, healthy snack day to raise money for PAC, the Terry Fox run etc. During the pandemic, there have been many organizations donating products to people in need. Find an example relatable to your family to explain to your child. Watch this read aloud, “Benny’s Pennies,” a little boy who heads out the market with 5 shiny pennies in his pocket. He works hard to meet the needs of his family, sticks to a spending plan, and comes back with gifts for all! Read about our kindergarteners Busy Town Donation to the Burnaby Hospital last year: https://www.bhfoundation.ca/news/the-biggest-100-ever-donated-to-burnaby-hospital/ How does sharing money impact ourselves? Others? Our community? Choose one way you will make an impact on someone else this week: Will you donate to a cause/agency? Will you perform an act of kindness? Brainstorm ideas with your parent! |

Remember to take the time to carefully look at the ground. It is important in science to be able to describe what you see/observe, smell, hear and feel in words. What do you see? What do you observe in your mini garden? Feel free to come by the school’s garden on Wednesday, or Thursday as well to try to look at the different sprouts. Do they smell like anything? Think about what they look like. Do they all look the same? Try to describe it.
In this video here, there are some final thoughts and words. Thank you very much for your participation in the project! Remember to keep the native bees alive in certain areas we must be lazy gardener and let nature do what it does best!
