For Parents of Junior Kindergarten Students

Eye See...Eye Learn 

York Region District School Board has partnered with Eye See...Eye Learn to encourage every Junior Kindergarten student to have a comprehensive eye exam with a participating Doctor of Optometry and if needed, will be provided with a free pair of eyeglasses when you present your child's health card.

We will send home the parent flyer in your child's communication bag today.  You can also access more information at www.EyeSeeEyeLearn.ca .

 

News & Information for the Coming Week...

Students may return their Borrow-a-Book Book Bags on Wednesday this week since we were late sending them home last week.


Wednesday, April 10, 2013 is Day of Pink at Nellie McClung P.S. and Beyond!

On April 10th, Nellie McClung P.S. will be participating in the Day of Pink which is the International Day against bullying and discrimination among schools and communities around the world.  Supporters wear pink to show respect for diversity and to demonstrate support for learning and working environments which are safe and inclusive of people from all different backgrounds.  

In our Kindergarten class, we will be focusing on the diversity found in families so that students understand:
1. A variety of family models exist (e.g., single-parent, blended families, opposite gender parents, same gender parents, adoptive parents, couples without children, etc.);  
2. All families are equally important; and
3. Encourage all children to be proud of their families.

Please have your child wear something pink to show his/her support.

Beauty and the Beast

As you are aware, on March 19th, the Kindergarten classes at our school watched a performance of Beauty and the Beast at our school.  Here is an article written by some students about the play:
On  March  19th,  all  the   Kindergarten  classes  in  Nellie  McClung  Public  School  watched  the  show  of   Beauty  and  the  Beast.   Emma  got  picked  from  the  audience  to  be  in  the  show.   Emma  played  Belle.   There   were   4   other   actors   from   the   Dufflebag   Theatre   Group,  too.  The   play  was   very   funny   and   most   of   us   liked   it!

Here are some photos from the performance:

Special Visitor Coming Soon!

On Thursday, April 4th, Captain Andy Gould will be visiting our school to speak to our class about being a pilot for Air Canada.  Captain Gould is Nathan's uncle, and we are excited to have a chance to meet him and learn about being a pilot.

Mrs. Scott &  Mrs. Ferriera's class will also join us.  Both our classes have set up airport drama centres, and the children have been enjoying playing different roles:  check-in, security, flight attendant, pilot, co-pilot and passengers.  

We would love to have other special guests visit us as well.  If you work in the air travel/transportation sector, we would love to have you visit us, too.  Please contact us to set up a date and time.
