15th 19th February

Dear KG1 Parents,

We would like to thank all of the parents who participated in Parent Engagement Week. It was nice to
have parents in the classroom to learn about center trays, teach the class about their home country
and/or attend the events for International Day. Please take special note of the Upcoming Events this
week. We will celebrate the 100th Day of School on Sunday with in-class activities. There will be NO
SCHOOL for students on Wednesday 18th & Thursday 19th February due to Teacher Professional
Development. We will also be sending home a permission form for our upcoming field trip to Little
Explorers so watch for it in your childs bag and return it promptly. Thank you.

Our Unit of Inquiry How We Express Ourselves

Students have been discussing and learning about our central idea: Through play we express our
feelings and ideas to help us come to new understandings.
This week we will review everything we have learned in our Unit of Inquiry and work on Formative
