Library Book Exchange 

Please note there is no library book Wednesday November 22.  The library will be closed next week as it will become "Frosty's Book Shop" for the Scholastic Book Fair.  Regular weekly library will return Wednesday November 29.  

Scholastic Book Fair 

Kindergarten will preview the book fair on Tuesday November 21.  Learners will have the opportunity to window shop at the book fair.  The book fair will be open during parent teacher conferences, if you wish to stop in and shop with your child.  Alternately, you are welcome to send money in a clearly labelled baggie or envelope on Wed or Thurs and they can make their purchases during school time.

AM Kindergarten participated in a lockdown practice.

Wednesday was "Writing Wednesday" in kindergarten.  Learners were able to draw and write about what they did on their Fall break.  It was great to hear all the exciting things our kindergarten students were up to on their break.

This week we focussed on the letter O.  We read the letter O book, learned the letter O song and practiced printing O.

We began working on a pattern activity that will be on display at conferences to demonstrate our understanding of patterns.  We completed an AB pattern, an ABB pattern and an ABC pattern.

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 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 .
