Hello
& welcome back to kindergarten in 2019!
I
hope you had a wonderful break filled with family, friends and relaxation. We
have had another great week filled with excitement and joy! Students were
excited to see their friends and participate in the daily routines.
Literacy
This week we learned about the letters T, U & V. Each day students shared items brought from home that match the letter of the day. Students learned the sounds of the letters and practiced printing the letter (upper and lowercase).

Following our alphabet exploration we will continue our literacy
journey and spark new wonder through a Superhero inquiry. Here students will
learn about a new superhero each letter day (eg: A is for Aquaman). Students
will revisit WH questions etc. At the end of our superhero inquiry we will have
a superhero day where students can dress up as their favorite superhero or
create their own costume.
Students continue to work on printing their name neatly and are
reminded to use the appropriate case letters. Please review this with your
child at home. Students should also continue to work on lowercase letter
recognition and sound recognition.
Report
Cards
Thank
you to everyone for returning their signed report card envelope. If you have
not already done so, please return the white envelope that the report card came
home in, as it will be reused in June.
Sibbald
U
Students
are so excited to begin their Sibbald U courses. Each week, typically on
Fridays, we will have Sibbald U from 9:30 - 10:30am. They will meet new
friends, new teachers and explore new places around the school. Be sure to
ask your child about this exciting adventure.
Robotics
Unit
Exciting
inquiries are always happening at Andrew Sibbald! During January and February we will start to learn about robotics!
We will have approximately eight sessions and will be working with the Ozobots
that our Parent Council so generously purchased for our school. If you would
like to learn more about these robots, please check out their website: https://ozobot.com/.
