Thursday October 26

 This week we focused on letter I.  We learned the I song, learned about words that start with I, the sound it makes, and practiced printing the letter I. 

We engaged in a mini author study with Aaron Reynolds Stories. We read, Creepy Pair Of Underwear, Creepy Carrots and Creepy Crayons. We looked at retelling the story with First, Next, Last. We did a cutting activity for each book. 

We continued to look at patterns. We looked at identifying, creating and extending a pattern. We talked about the core of the pattern and labelling a pattern. We made 2 and 3 part patterns such as AB, AAB and ABC patterns.

We visited Jen with E- Motions. We have been practicing different songs and movement activities all dealing with our emotions.

Some additional ideas that you can choose to do at home:

-Letter I practice. Can you find items at home that begin with I? Have your child look through flyers and cut out letter a or pictures that begin with a I. Your child can practice printing the letter a using chalk, pencil, marker, playdough etc. 

- Patterns - please have your child look at home, inside and outside for patterns that appear in their environments. 

Please work with your child to set them up for success on learning to put on and zip up their jackets independently. Especially with the cooler weather, it makes dismissal time run much smoother when children can do their winter gear independently. Thank you :)

Monday April 22 is Earth Day.  We read "The Earth Book" by Todd Parr and completed a guided drawing of his cover page.  We used watercolor paper and paint to finish our project.  We learned about ways we can help to take care of the Earth.  Please ask your child for some of the ways they can help to take care of of our planet. We continue to be excited about our 8 duck eggs. The eggs are in the incubator set up in our class and will be learning about and watching our eggs over the next couple of weeks to see how the eggs change. We will be candelling the eggs every couple of days (shining a light under the egg) to watch the development and growth of the ducks.  This is a big week in Kindergarten - we have finally learned ALL the letters of the alphabet!!  We focused on the letter X.  We learned the songs, practiced printing , and drew pictures that start with the letters .We have learned the following letters and letter sounds at school this year and ...

We had an exciting week with our ducklings ! AM Kindergarten named our first duckling Oreo and PM Kindergarten named our second duckling Sunflower. We took all names and then drew 4 names which the children then voted on. We spent a lot of time this week, watching the ducklings wander about in the classroom and learn to swim. Thursday we had a third duckling hatch. Mrs. Coulson and Mrs. Mask had to help the little one to get out, and I am happy to say the duckling is thriving :)  This week was all things ducklings. We continued to work in our Duck journals, we did more duck art, finished our plasticine and continued to read about and watch videos about ducks. We worked on our Quack and Count retelling to share with our families at the celebration of learning. We played a variety of subtraction games . We know how to play subtraction bump, Race to Zero and Splat.  Field trip forms are to go home on Tuesday for our Butterfield Acres trip and we will also send a sign up Genius fo...
