 Splashing into Summer: A Fun-Filled Week of Learning!

This week was bursting with excitement and discovery! We watched our ducklings swimming and learned all about their WEBBED feet. To make it even more fun, we tried on flippers to experience what it’s like for the ducklings! We also learned that ducks PREEN their feathers to spread a special oil that makes them REPEL water.






Did you know? Ducks are omnivores—meaning they eat both plants and bugs! We celebrated this by creating a special science page in our journals to show everything we learned.



 







On Wednesday, we enjoyed a funny story called We Are Growing by Laurie Keller. Then, we drew our very last kindergarten self-portraits—our “This is ME in JUNE” drawings!



In honor of the summer solstice, we read a beautiful story by Métis author David Bouchard called We Learn from the Sun. The students loved painting their own bright, shining suns to celebrate!







Please note that the 
DEADLINE FOR BUS REGISTRATION 
is THIS Sunday June 22, 2025

 If your child needs to ride the yellow school bus next year, you must register them before Sunday or face delays of up to 6 weeks in getting transportation!



🎒🥾The Great Return of SCHOOL STUFF...📚

Please remember to continue sending a school-sized backpack, water bottle, snack, and appropriate clothing—including sun hats and hoodies each day next week. We’ll keep our daily routine going smoothly, with extra outdoor time if the weather stays nice!

Next week, we will be sending home your child's indoor shoes, along with a Ziploc bag filled with their artwork, important papers, and their visual journal. Your child has worked so hard this year, completing daily activities and showcasing their learning. These journals are full of their growth and progress—take some time once things settle down to look through them with your child. They’ll be so proud to show you all they’ve accomplished!
