September 12th

Hello Kindergarten Families!

Thank you to everyone who made it out to the Welcome Back Dance last night! 

This is just a quick update before our regular Friday post. We've had a great week in Kindergarten exploring our names and how each of us is a unique individual. Last week, we also worked on practicing self portraits. Check out some of our work:

Reminders

1.) SEPTEMBER 19 & 20 CONFERENCES – Please book your September conference times online beginning this evening. The link for the Conference Manager is: https://sis.cbe.ab.ca/public/home.html At our September conference, each family will meet with one of your child’s grade team teachers. At Cambrian Heights, teachers work in collaborative grade teams, so each teacher is well prepared to discuss your child’s learning. The first conference is an excellent opportunity for families to update classroom teachers regarding any new information about the student. Teachers will share initial assessment information, with a focus on overall strengths, areas for growth, and supports in place in the classroom.

2.) Student Voice Update – Student Voice club had their first meeting at lunch on Thursday. Student Voice has selected the Virtue of the Month for September as Respect. They also decided that our September Spirit Day will be held in conjunction with the Terry Fox Run on September 27. Each student will receive a Cambrian Heights T-shirt that is stored at the school for Community Activity Days, so we will show our school spirit by wearing them during the Terry Fox Run. Student voice brainstormed suggestions for CAD activities and lunchtime clubs.

3.) TERRY FOX RUN – Cambrian Heights School will recognize Terry Fox Day on September 27, 2019. Students will gather for a short presentation in the gym, and proceed outside to the school yard for an approximately 20 minute run or walk. Students are welcome to bring a donation on September 27 if they wish. We recommend a “Twoonie for Terry” if you wish.

4.) CAD Days – Community Activity Days (CAD days) will resume in October in a similar format to last year. CAD days are special Friday activity days when we don our Cambrian Heights T-Shirts and take option courses such as photography, robotics, coding, art appreciation, and fairy tale writing with a STEM twist. More information on this will be upcoming!

5.) Please note - tomorrow is PM Kindergarten! We will see AM Kindergarten again on Monday :)

6.) Please bring back library books if you haven't already! PM Kindergarten will be going tomorrow. AM Kindergarten visited the library today.
