Thursday November 23

We continued to explore the zones of regulation at school this week.  We learned about the red and yellow zones.  Please ask your child what feelings are in each zone.

We continue to explore writing in our personal journals on Writing Wednesday.  Learners are encouraged to copy print and label their pictures with the beginning sounds they hear in words.

In math, we began to explore number lines.  We played race to 10 as we rolled the dice and counted on the number line.

Thank you to all the families who supported the Scholastic Book Fair.

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...
