This is a photo of this student's great, great, great, great grandfather, Chief Joseph.  Her family sent some information about Chief Joseph that I thought would be interesting to share here too....

Chief Joseph was the leader of the Wallowa band of Nez Perce, a Native American tribe indigenous to the Wallowa Valley in Northeastern Oregon.

He was a peace keeper, freedom fighter, respected leader and protector of the Earth.

You can learn a lot about him in American History books.

He once said, "The Earth is the Mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it."

We worked in our math journals today.  We had to count and colour a certain number of dots on the apples.  The kids did a fantastic job!












And here we are at the end of November!  I can't believe that it's December 1st tomorrow.  December is a very busy time at school, lots of different events happening.  I will be posting lots of reminders and bits of information here on the blog in the next couple of weeks.  Please check regularly.

H2 Whoa! and Firefighters

Here's a little look at our morning Kindergarten awesomeness! 



We watched another performance today.  This time it was called H2Whoa and it was all about conserving water.


We learned a song that had some actions.




Your child has a booklet from this group in his/her home envelope.  Take a look and ask your child to see what he/she "took" from the assembly.


Here are some very cute pictures of some very cute firefighters.  They are the drivers of our fire trucks that we've been working on.  Please come in and check out the bulletin board above our home boxes to see the finished products.  

















Tomorrow is "Jj" sharing day.  Please help your child find an item beginning with J to show to the class tomorrow.

The kindergarten students also had their hearing and vision screening today.  Please check your child's home envelope for an envelope with information regarding your child's screening.
