Weekly Update

Over the past week we finalized our fall art and created a great display of our fall learning in the hallway. It showcases the many aspects of our learning: the songs and poems reading activity about fall, our science exploration of leaf shapes and color mixing as well as our amazing fall art. We have also created artist signatures on separate pieces of paper.
On Friday some Kindergarten students have received their first Circle of Courage nominations. (Ask your child about this event), Please remember to dress your child in the red school T-shirt to school on Fridays.
In math we continue to work on making groups of objects,  understanding sorting rules, numbers and attributes. Students are beginning to make sets of numbers of objects and to estimate which group has more and which group has less.. We will continue this work over the next weeks.

Remembrance Day Wreath

Here is a picture of our completed wreath. We are very proud of our work!

Hello Families,
Kindergarten has been working hard on finishing up our fall pictures and learned lots about Remembrance Day. On Friday we had an assembly where the whole school came together to remember and honor those who fought for our peace and freedom. The students made poppies and then placed them together in order to make a beautiful wreath. 

Weekly Update

Hello Families,
We had a busy week learning about fall, seasonal changes and other fun things. We made some beautiful fall art and hope to display it in our section of the hallway soon. On October 31 we had fun reading stories, singing and learning about Halloween. We hope everyone had a safe and fun night on Thursday. Please remember to return your songs and poems folders and to dress your child for the weather.

On November 5th we are hoping to go on another field trip to the library. We need a few volunteers to walk with us. Please let us know if you are available to join us from 9:30 to 11:15.
We will have to cancel the field trip if we do not have enough volunteers! Please let the teacher at the door know if you can make it.

Thank you all,
The kindergarten team.

Conferences/Learning Conversations

Dear Keeler parents and/or guardians,

Please see our September principal message below.  A reminder that after FALL BREAK:

• Grade blogs will focus on classroom learning and updates (Will be updated weekly)
• School messenger will contain information and reminders that impact (non-commercial messages ONLY)
• School Twitter will be used to share learning, activities, events, etc at Keeler.
• School website (updated daily) & principals message (monthly)

These forms of communication do not replace phone calls or face to face meetings. These are still important means of addressing concerns or questions you may have regarding your child. We encourage you to reach out to your classroom teacher should you require more personalized and specific communication.

With our modified calendar, by September’s end, we have already put in nearly seven weeks of learning with our students. The students and staff have been very engaged and we are off to a great start in our 2019-2020 school year. Our focus at Keeler School remains around student learning. Our students’ purpose for coming here is to learn. We learn not only in the classroom, but also in the hallway, the playground, the lunchroom, offsite and everywhere in between! We are about all learning! 

There has been so much going at Keeler already but a few highlights include our music therapy program with our EDC students, grade 3 & 5 fish creek field studies, Relay Education coming to work with our grade 4’s on wind turbines, Terry Fox run, Orange shirt day and the start of our Circle of Courage assembly’s.  Please go to your classroom blog and school twitter for more updates and stories:
