October In Review...

Dear K-PM Parents, 

Wow! Another month has come and gone and we have already started November! 

Here are their beautiful Halloween costumes...

And now for a silly pose...

Then, off we went to the VW's Parade of Costumes, where Gru and his Mignons were busily entertaining the crowd...

And wishing everyone a Happy Halloween...

This was only the beginning of the week!

On Friday, November 3rd we were back in the gym with the grades 1-5 for a concert by Michael Mitchell, singing along to many well-known Songs rich in Canadian historical content!

Thank you to Mme Janine Patenaude for preparing our students by practicing the songs in music class!

Now, I would like to thank all of you, the parents and grandparents, for bringing your children/grandchildren to school!  You are truly helping your child by playing this important role in your child's education and eventually future employment! 

So, you're probably asking why I'd be talking to you about future job opportunities? I'm actually taking a course in "Career Development" in order to complete a Certification in Inclusive Education. So, I was curious to see how the students felt about their future "Jobs" or "Work"? Here are the responses I received in their own words:

 

              * Helping friends

              * Café Owner

              * Substitute Teacher

              * Superstore Security Guard

              * Ambulance Driver

              * Princess/ Queen

              * Pharmacist

              * Batman 

              * Doctor

              * Lego Nynja

              * Toy Tester

              * Science Tester

              * Police Woman

              * Shopper

              * Policeman

              * Batman - Yes! We could always use more than one!

              * Doctor 

Play time is crucial to a child's development in so many areas of growth and learning. By playing Batman, a child is creatively communicating to understand the needs of others. S/he is collaborating to share ideas and problem-solving, all while critically thinking about various solutions. Now the students do not need to know all of this information, but when they are ready all of these skills will be important in the future!

Here are a few more of our weekly play centres...

 

Welcome to our VW Café! What would you like order? 

    Maybe future archeologists?

Geoboards are so much fun! Creating shapes with elastics!

Creating...

Problem-solving...critical thinking...

Communicating!

Merci to all of you who help shape the futures of our students!

Have a good weekend!
