The Kinder team is continuing to work on recycling and composting in the classroom. The students are now pretty comfortable with using the blue and black bins in the classroom. We are now collecting compostable waste and disposing of it in our green bins. We are currently looking for items to line our classroom compost bins. PLEASE help the Kinder team out by sending to school newspapers, paper shopping bags, cardboard cracker, cookie or cereal boxes. THANK-YOU!
Cold Weather Week
Looks like the temperature is dropping this week. We will continue to spend a minimum of 60 minutes outside per day. Please be sure your child is equipped with a hat, neckwarmer, mittens, winter jacket, snowpants and boots. Thank-you for making sure your child is comfortable during outdoor play.
