We were “in the pink” on Wednesday as we came to school dressed in our pink (and white) shirts in support of “Day of Pink: Celebrate Diversity.”

We spent some time talking about ways we can show Kindness and Caring to others.  Here’s what we’re thinking:

• Clean up our own messes after we’ve eaten our lunch
• Listen to the lunch monitors
• Play with someone who’s all by themselves
• Be nice to others
• Be cooperative with my big buddy
• Use “please” and “thank you”
• If my friend gets hurt, I’ll help
• Make good choices
• Share with the other kids
• Use words, not actions
• Be helpful to our teachers
• Give compliments to others
• Listen to our teacher

We’re noticing how Ridgeview kids show caring and kindness and adding them to our special tree!

This Week in Our Room:  February 22-26, 2016

We’re really flying through the alphabet now as we finished working on letter S this week. Our children are beginning to develop fine motor strength and this is evident in their increased stamina for printing letters and words.

We also met with our Grade 7 Big Buddies to work on the next page of our Penguin Inquiry project, Penguin Features, on the app “Book Creator.”

Upcoming Events and Reminders

Wednesday, March 2 will be a busy day in the Kindergarten.  We will be having “Stories from the Firehall,” a visit from the West Vancouver Firefighters.

It’s also our school lockdown practice.  We will be speaking to the Kindergarten ahead of time about our expectations for the day.
