Roywood's Parenting and Family Literacy Centre

The Kindergarten students had the pleasure of visiting the Parenting and Family Literacy Centre this week!  We explored their learning centres and enjoyed snack and circle with some new friends.  The PFLC is open daily from 8:15-12:15 for all children under 6 and their caregivers!  That means Mom, Dad, Grandparents or Babysitters can drop in at any time for fun, learning, socialization and preparing your youngster for Kindergarten.  The program is 100% FREE and everyone is welcome!  We hope to see many more younger siblings there next time we visit!

**Please note:
-the PFLC will be open Dec 20th when there is no school for Kindergarten students
-the PFLC will be closed Dec. 21 - Jan. 5 for the school's winter holiday.

Structures

We're beginning a new unit on structures.  Today we introduced cups as a new material for building with!

The Button Box and Attributes

We enjoyed reading "The Button Box" and creating our own button collection in a special box.  Using our buttons we learned about attributes and different ways of sorting our buttons using our knowledge of attributes.

Firefighter Denise

We had a special guest into Roywood this morning!  Fire fighter Denise came to visit us and brought along her friend Sparky the Fire Dog to talk about safety.

Food Basics Visit

We will be walking to Food Basics on Thursday morning.  We will be shopping for ingredients to make a special snack for Friday.  Your child needs to be dressed for the weather that day, nothing else is required for the trip!

Meet Sally

This is Sally.

She's become the class pet in Room 104.  Everyone loves to play with Sally and she often joins the children at different activities.  Some students take special care to give her a bath and feed her on a regular basis.

If you hear stories about Sally at home, now you know who we're talking about!
