This week in Kindergarten...
We began our week learning about the letter Y and the sound it makes. We read a story about a yak, practiced making upper and lower case Ys in our fine motor journals and learned how to draw a yak using a capital Y.
We continued our learning about the letter Y by engaging in a Letter Y Write the Room. Y words and pictures were posted around the classroom. Students had to find those words, copy them down and draw a picture to go with it.
Happy Earth Day! On Wednesday we learned about the importance of Earth Day and ways we can protect our planet. Students completed an activity in their visual journal about things they can do to protect the earth. Ask me about some ways we can protect our planet. Every student also made their own earth from plasticine which worked on fine motor skills.
We finished our week by learning about the sense of smell. We watched a short video about how our nose works and how it helps us smell. We also read a story called Yummy Yucky and did a scratch and sniff sticker activity in our visual journal where we decided which smells were yummy and which ones were yucky.
We also got to watch Grade 2s and 3s do their dress rehearsal for their concert. We had a great time watching and listening to all the amazing songs they have been learning.
