Week of November 17-21

We played in all sorts of weather this week. It is important, now that the weather is colder, that we come to school dressed to go outside. Please keep practicing with your child on getting winter ready independently. Please practice getting on jackets, zippers, snowpants, hats and mittens can be while at home. Thanks so much!

This week in Kindergarten...

I want to welcome Miss V to our classroom. She is a student teacher from St. Mary's University. Miss V will be with our class from now until December 4th. Miss V will return to our classroom once again in the spring. We are so excited to have her be a part of our classroom community. 

This was a busy full week in kindergarten. This we jumped right into learning about new letters and numbers. We have been working hard on practicing the letters "T" and "F." We can identify words that begin with those letters. We practiced writing them in the air, on whiteboards and our fine motor journals. In our visual journals we drew mystery animals hidden behind a flap. We had to make good guesses about its peeking out tail for the letter T!

 

We also learned about the number 3. We practiced printing the number 3 on whiteboards using our rhyme: "Around the tree, around the tree, that is how you make a 3!" In our math journals we showed the number 3 in many different ways - pictures, a number line and a ten frame.

We also enjoyed some new toys during centre time - building with Minecraft blocks, kinetic sand, robots, Lego and paint.

 This week in Kindergarten...

It was a very short week for us! Mrs. Bitz's classes joined together with Mrs. Rupert's classes to engage in an apple taste test. We used our senses to 4 different types of apples and then graph our favourite one. Ask me which kind of apple I liked the best.

We also learned about the number 2 - different ways to make two, what is a matching pair and learned a sock memory matching game. Students brought their game home to play with family.

Week of November 3-7

 Brrrrrrrr.... It's cold outside! Please remember to dress for the weather as we will go outside every day that we can. Mittens work best for little hands. Please help your child learn how to independently do up their zipper. Wearing hats, mittens and winter boots will soon be a part of our daily routine.

This week in Kindergarten...

We started learning about the number 1. What does 1 look like? We read a silly story called How to Count to 1 and learned how to show the number 1 in different ways using a picture, ten frame and numeral. 

We also continued our learning from last week with the letter "P" with P is for peace and poppies that supported our learning for Remembrance Day.

We also introduced the letter "A." Ask your child what sound an A makes. We worked on printing the letter A on our whiteboards.
