Important Information

1.     Next week we will be starting our colour unit.  We will start with the primary colours.  We are asking that you have your child wear the “colour of the day” if they have an item in that colour.  Please DO NOT go and purchase any new clothing for these activities.  Children that do not have the colour of the day will be given something to wear when they arrive.  Monday, January 14^th – BLUE day.  Wednesday, January 16^th – RED day.  Friday, January 18^th – YELLOW day.  Thank you for your help in making this unit a little more exciting.

2.     Our Kinderoodles blog is still a “work in progress”.  We have found it difficult to keep up with the website as when we post pictures, we are trying to make sure every child is represented in every activity.  From now on, to make the process easier for us, and so you can have more up-to-date information, we will be posting the pictures as they are taken.  Please be assured, that if your child does not appear in a series of pictures on one day, that they will be represented on another day!  Thanks for your patience!!!

Have a great weekend! J
