We hope you all had a happy Valentine's Day yesterday.  We enjoyed ourselves at school, and we are still enjoying reading our Valentine cards!

We're sorry, but we were not able to send home the Borrow-a-Book Book Bags this week.  We will send them home next Wednesday. 

Please check the blog again later this weekend.  We will be posting the lyrics to the songs we will be singing at the 'Kindergarten Breakfast with the Arts' concert on Friday, Feb. 22nd.  We would appreciate it if you have your child practise the songs at home, too.  (If you have any questions/concerns, please contact us directly or make a comment on the blog.)

Have a great long weekend, and we hope you enjoy Family Day together!

Toronto Orchestra of Chinese String Instruments

Happy Lunar New Year!

 



This morning, we celebrated the Lunar New Year by watching a performance from the Toronto Orchestra of Chinese String Instruments.  The four musicians played woodwind, string and percussion instruments for us, and some of us even got to go up and touch and play some of the instruments.

 

We hope you enjoy the video clips from this morning's performance for the Kindergarten classes.  [Please excuse the poor quality of the videotaping.  The cameraperson needs more training. :)]
