Thank you to everyone who has checked out my blog in the past year and a half. I hope it has been helpful to you in some small way! I will no longer be updating this blog as I will be starting a new one for my new teaching assignment ~ GRADE 4! I will miss kindergarten. I have enjoyed the children and families I have worked with over the past 8 years and I look forward to seeing some of them again in a new grade. Good luck to Mrs. M. Nel who will be taking over for me. I know she will be a wonderful Kindergarten teacher! Lucky for all of you who will have her!!!!!
Best Wishes,
Mrs. Lippai

June Newsletter
The 2010-2011 school year has passed very quickly and our Kindergarten children have grown, changed, and learned so much! They are familiar with school routines, have learned how to make and maintain friendships, achieved more independence, and are mastering a varity of Kindergarten skills. I have enjoyed teaching your child and I will miss him/her very much as he/she passes into Grade One. I would like to thank each parent for his/her help throughout the year in any big or small way. Your presence was a gift and your support of our Kindergarten program here at P.J. Gillen School is appreicated!
June is going to be a very busy month for the Kindergarten children (and their teacher!). Much of the month will be spent preparing for our Graduation Ceremony. We will be practising songs and poems to dazzle you! We will also continue our study of plants.
Important Things To Note
1). The Kindergarten children will be swimming once (weather permitting) during the month of June. This date will be: Friday, June 17th/11. We will walk to the pool on this day. Children are asked to bring $2.50 each to help defray costs. Please feel welcome to come and watch your child swim at this time if you wish!
Each child will need to bring a swimsuit and towel in a bag to school. Please be sure to have bag and towel labelled with your child's name. You may also want to send some extra dry clothes and a hair brush!
2). Kindergarten Graduation will take place in the P.J.Gillen gym on Monday, June 27th. It will begin @ 9:30a.m. and end at approximately 10:15a.m. Our school year will officially end at this time and children will go home with their parents. There is plenty of room for grandparents and special friends to attend as well.
3). Report cards will be handed out to the children on Thursday, June 23rd after their last full day of school!
4). Our last library day is Friday, June 17th. All library books should be returned for the summer by this date.
5). Class Lists will soon be finalized for next year and your child will have an opportunity to meet with their Grade One teacher later on in the month. Supply lists for Grade One will be found in the envelope containing your child's report card.
Once again, it has been a pleasure to teach your child and have the opportunhity to get to know you and your family. I hope everyone has a terrific summer and I look forward to seeing you all at Kindergarten Graduation. If you should have any questions, please feel welcome to contact me.
Best wishes for a warm and relaxing summer break!

May Newsletter
Note: Students will need some assistance connecting with the blog games with ** in front of them. The addresses did not link us directly to the games. Sorry for any inconvenience.
The month of May is here and it’s hard to believe that our school year will soon come to a close. We look forward to our trip to Binscarth to watch the play “Honk” on Wednesday, May 11th . This is not a regularly scheduled Kindergarten day, but we are asking children to come this day for our fieldtrip. We are putting in this full Kindergarten day in trade for a very short day on June 27th (Kindergarten Graduation Day). Hopefully the weather will warm up and we won’t need to dress for snow! If you have any questions or concerns regarding the trip, please feel free to contact me. Otherwise, as long as your child has a bag lunch for the day, all should be well. We will leave at 10:00am and return for our regular 3:25pm dismissal. A note specifically addressing our fieldtrip will be sent home in the first week of May, along with a permission slip.
We will shift our focus to “The Garden” for the month of May. We will learn about what plants need to sprout and flourish, and the stages of growth a plant follows. We will soon complete our study of the alphabet. Our last letters to study are Ww, Vv, Qq, Yy, and Zz. We will continue to review all other letter names and sounds each day.
To further enrich what children have been learning about letters and sounds, our Kindergarten class is ready to begin to learn to read! Shortly your child will bring home a “Reading Folder”. There is a note attached to the folder explaining how this program will work. Your child will bring home a “book bag” inside the folder. You and your child can read these books using the suggestions on the folder note. Your child will then return the “book bag” to school the next Kindergarten day and exchange it for a new one. Although it is not an expectation that your child read in Kindergarten, and I will not be evaluating him/her in reading, this is a wonderful activity that excites and motivates! Have Fun!
* Folders do not need to be sent to school on our Field Trip Day -- we will not do a book exchange on this day!
The following is a list of skills we will be working on in preparation for the June report card: counting to 100, number recognition to 10, recognizing all uppercase and lowercase letters, knowing all letter sounds, printing all letters (a-z), printing first and last name, and working independently. Please feel free to practise these skills at home with your child. You could even “test” them yourselves to see what they already know!
As well, I am still encouraging children who have not yet received a “Shoe Lace Tying Certificate” to keep practising to tie at home. When this task has been mastered and your child can show me, he/she will receive a certificate and pick from the prize box. I cannot stress how important this skill will be for your child, and it is most easiest learned one on one with a parent at home, and with a reward from me!!!
We will be having a Kindergarten Graduation once again this year. The date for the graduation will be Monday, June 27th, 2011. Children will come to school at their regular time (9:00) and the graduation ceremony will begin in the gymnasium at 9:20. The presentation will be approximately 45 minutes long. Parents and guests are welcome to attend. The school day for Kindergarten will end after this time and children will go home with their parents. Summer holidays will officially begin! More information regarding this occasion will be sent home in June!
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me. Enjoy the month of May!

April Newsletter
Thank you so much to everyone for attending Parent/Teacher interviews. Please feel free to contact me any time you have questions or are wondering about the progress of your child. Together we can give your child a great education!
We will wrap up our study of “The Sky” this month and shift our focus to Easter! April is also Dental Health month and the children will be learning about the importance of keeping their teeth clean and the best ways to brush and floss. We will study the letters I i, N n and E e and continue exploring Geometry and Measurement in math with a focus on the concepts: longer, shorter, empty, full, less, more, smaller, bigger, almost the same, heavy, heavier, light, and lighter. We have also been participating in a variety of “mental math” games and math games using manipulatives. We will continue to play these at school this month, as well! We’ve started a great discussion on the culture of First Nations people in our classroom this past month and we have been learning about the significance of the circle and the number 4. Very soon you will see an activity we’ve been working on at school, come home. Be sure to ask your child about what they’ve been learning!
Reminders:
1). There will be an Early Dismissal on Thursday, April 14th, 2011 @ 12:10.
2). Library is each Day 1. Books are due back on this day.
3). Our Kindergarten Graduation date is now set. The special day will be Monday, June 27th, 2011. Our exact time is not yet set, but it will be either at 9:15 or 9:30 and lasts approximately 45 minutes. Students will be dismissed to go home with their families after the graduation to begin their summer holidays! Be sure to put this date on your calendar!
4). Our school Easter break is Friday, April 22 to Friday, April 29 inclusive. Our first Kindergarten day back after the break is Monday, May 2nd , Day 5.
Have a wonderful Easter and a relaxing break! Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

March Newsletter
The month of March is now upon us and we are hoping for warmer days. This month will be highlighted with report cards on March 16th and parent-teacher interviews on March 22nd and 23rd . Be sure to send back your form with your top three choices for times. I will do my best to accommodate your first choice. There will be no school on Friday, March 19th in lieu of the two parent-teacher interview evenings.
We have a few things to be excited about this month! Children will have an opportunity to visit Scholastic Book Fair on Wednesday, March 23rd. A note indicating our special time to shop will be sent home a little later in the month. We also look forward to Taco in a Bag hot lunch day on Tuesday, March 29th. The cost for this will be $2 for the half order.
Early dismissal this month is on Thursday, March 10th at 12:10, Day 5. This is a Kindergarten day!
We will wrap up our topic of “Healthy Habits” this month and shift our discussions to the Four Food Groups and Healthy Eating. Children will be working toward filling a class poster with foods that are good for our bodies and foods that are “okay” to have once-in-a-while. If you have any grocery store flyers or food magazines with pictures you are no longer needing at home, we would love to have you send them our way for cutting up. Please send A.S.A.P. Thanks so much!
We will study the letters Gg, Cc, Ll, and Nn this month. We will also continue to review all other letters studied so far in preparation for report card evaluation. We have started a guided writing program in our classroom and children are excited about learning to print colour words, frequently used sight words, and words from our drawing program. They combine these to create short sentences in which they use a capital at the beginning and an end mark (.!or?) at the end. They then draw a picture to match their sentence. We look forward to adding more words to our repertoire!
We will begin “Reading Buddies” in our classroom this month. Children will be paired together and take turns “reading” a book to their friend. After each child has had a chance to read their book, the children will be given a chance to draw a picture of their favourite part of either book. The books children read are familiar books they have already heard or simple books using words we have studied in guided writing. Children are encouraged to read the words that they recognize and use the pictures in the book to tell the story. Children love this activity! Encourage your child to be a “reading buddy” to you at home too!
We will begin a new unit in math this month entitled, “Exploring Geometry and Measurement”. Our focus this month will be on the geometry portion. Children will work toward sorting 3-D objects according to a single attribute and describing 3-D objects using math vocabulary words like: round, flat, point, corner, big and small. Children will also have an opportunity to build and create 3-D objects with a variety of materials in an effort to discover which stack easily and which roll easily. A parent information sheet is attached to this newsletter along with some suggestions to reinforce these concepts at home.
In addition to this, please practise counting to 50 at home with your child. If your child can do this well, count higher! We like children to be able to count to 100 by the end of Kindergarten. If this is easy for your child, try having him/her count it backwards. This is a bit more challenging!
I look forward to seeing you later in the month! Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

February Newsletter
February is upon us and we will soon wrap up our Ocean theme. We will change our focus this month to the topics of Valentine’s Day and Friendship. We will also continue to discuss “Healthy Habits” this month.
We have completed our study of letters Jj and Hh, and we will move on to learn about the names and sounds of Kk, Gg, Ff and Bb. I encourage you to review all letters studied at home with your child. Ask them often, “What letter is this?”, “What sound does it make?”. I will soon be testing them in this area for our second report card.
We will continue working with numbers 1-5 during this short month. Children are continuing to count, create sets, show a number in two parts (2 fingers on one hand and 3 fingers on another is a way of making 5, and so is 4 fingers on one hand and 1 finger on the other … you get the idea!), and recognize at a glance and name arrangements of 1-5 objects or dots. As well, practice counting to 50 with your child. Often children have trouble making the transition to the numbers 20, 30, 40 and 50. We will continue to practise printing numbers 1 - 5.
Children are beginning to receive their birthday certificate and telephone number certificate as a reward for memorizing this information. If your child does not soon bring this item home, it will be because he/she does not yet know this information and will need extra practise at home. Knowing this is also a part of our second term report card.
We are learning to tie shoe laces in our classroom. Each child who learns to tie his/her shoes before the end of June earns a shoe tying certificate and a trip to our classroom treasure box! If you could spend a little time at home practising this skill too, that would be great!!!
Early Dismissal
Early Dismissal this month is Thursday, February 10th at 12:10. This is not a Kindergarten day.
Valentines Party
Our Valentine’s party will take place on Friday, February 11th. Students may bring Valentine cards beginning Wednesday, February 9th to exchange with their classmates, if they wish. Party munchies will be provided and served in the morning for snack!
Winter Break
* * There will be no school for Kindergarten from Monday, February 21st to Friday, February 25th , inclusive. Our first day back after the break is Monday, February 28th, Day 3.

January 2011 Newsletter
Happy New Year! I hope everyone has had an enjoyable Holiday season! The Kindergarten children and I are very excited to be back at school and to start off fresh in a new year!
Our main topics for the month of January will be The Ocean and Healthy Habits. We will be featuring books by Marcus Pfister and Leo Lionni. We will work on a number of crafts related to our Ocean theme which include making colourful jellyfish and crafty crabs. We will be learning to recognize a variety of ocean animals and recite interesting facts about them. Children will also be encouraged to try the variety of “fishy crafts” at our art center during our “invitations to learn” time! In addition to this, the children will learn about habits to keep them healthy; such as, washing hands frequently, getting enough sleep, and exercising regularly.
The following is a list of skills we will be working on during the month of January: reciting telephone number and birth date (please work with your child on these at home too), making predictions when listening to stories, recognizing and printing numerals 1-5, comparing two sets using one-to-one correspondence, counting and creating sets of numerals 1-5 to their respective quantities, printing last name, and learning the letters Hh, Jj, Ff, and Kk. We will continue drawing objects and learning to recognize their names in print. We have completed pup, pop, ox, ax, mom, top and pot. We will now add the words: stop, jar, star, and fox. Feel free to have your child print these words and draw their pictures for you (especially those words which we have already studied). You may be amazed at how well your child can “read”! I am also including a new “homework calendar” for you in this month’s newsletter to work on at home with your child if you so choose.
Notes and Reminders
* Library will continue to be each Day 1 of the school cycle.
*Early Dismissal this month is on Thursday, January 13th at 12:10, Day 1.
This is a Kindergarten day.
*Friday, January 28th is a Professional Development Day for teachers at our school. There will be no classes for students on this day. This is not a day on the school cycle and therefore Kindergarten children will not attend school again until Tuesday, February 1st, 2011. Watch your Kindergarten Calendar closely!
Be sure to check out the calendar at the bottom of the blog for upcoming dates! This may help with some of your future planning!!
