November 2016
Bonjour dear families! We are now deep into the kindergarten curriculum. It is so nice to see some students
beginning to speak en Francais! Here are some of the things to keep in mind for the month of November.
Les mathmatiques
Les regularities (patterns) We are finished our patterning unit but will continue to work with patterns
throughout the school year. You can help at home by asking your child to identify patterns while with you
(example: a fence, the dotted line on the road, the streetlamps, etc.)
Le nombre We have begun to explore numbers up to 5 this month. It is very important to have an in-depth
look at the basics to ensure your child has good number sense no matter what their math abilities are. You can
help at home by encouraging your child to practice counting out loud in French and making groups of objects
and learning to identify how many objects are in the group made.

Please check your childs folder each night and carefully take the time read and complete
pertinent paperwork. It takes quite a bit of time for teachers to check paperwork and it can be time
consuming to have to send paperwork home a second time to be completed correctly. If you are
sending money, please put it into an envelope or small ziplock bag with the pertinent paperwork
and your childs name on it. The envelope or baggy should be placed in their folder for them to
hand in. Students often drop items out of their communication folder bags and it falls on the ground in
the hallway. Simply putting paperwork and cash in your child`s communication folder may result in
your money being lost. If there are papers you do not want in the communication folder please throw
them out at home. This way I can spend more time with your child and less time sorting through various
papers.
Cold and wet weather in upon us. Please ensure that your child is dressed to go outside as we play
outdoors rain or shine each day. If your child brings home wet or dirty clothes, please ensure to send
replacements to school the following day to ensure your child always has a complete change of clothing
at school.
