🎵 Swimming, Swimming in the swimming pool...

We had such a fun week swimming every day at the Thornhill Aquatic Pool! The swim teachers were amazing, and our Kindergarten students had a great time learning how to be safe in the water and practicing their swimming skills.

😀🎉 A big thank you to Mr. Collins for planning everything, organizing the pool and buses, and being there with us each day! We also want to thank our wonderful parent volunteers—your help made this week extra special!

A HUGE thank you to all our volunteers! We couldn’t have done it without you!

If you would like to volunteer, there are more chances coming up this year. Please remember to get your clearance done—it lasts for 5 years!

🐞 Upcoming Volunteer Opportunity: “Lady Buggy Day”

• Monday, April 13 – Busy Beavers (Wiskar) – Morning & Afternoon
• Tuesday, April 14 – Mighty Moose (Sutherland) – Morning & Afternoon

During this fun day, a special guest will teach us all about bugs—how they move and where they live! We are looking for at least 4 volunteers from each class to help.
If you are interested and have a valid police clearance, please contact your child’s teacher.

We are learning to print lowercase letters. This week we worked on the letters "s, u, r." We also continue to practice our Lively Letters and spell words using Tap and Sweep to combine the letter sounds. We learned that we can even sound out words that don't make sense - called "alien" words like "pag" and "dat."
