Thursday November 30

We focused on letter B.  We learned the B song, learned about words that start with B, the sound it makes, and practiced printing the letter B.  By now your child should be able to share the name and sound of the following letters S, A, T, I, M,P,O, N and B.

We continued to work with using number lines. We practiced moving forwards and backwards on the line, learning that a number line is a tool to help us count. We played race to 10 and used the number line to solve number problems.

We had library and music this week.  

We started an author study on Jory John. This week we read, The Bad See, The Good Egg  and The Cool Bean. We did guided drawing of the main character from each book.







Please return your forms for Food Impact in you haven't done so already. In order for your child to participated, you need to sign the form that was sent home at conferences. 

FAMILIES HELPING FAMILIES

We are calling on your kindness and generosity to help support families in need during the holiday season.

Please read through the list of needs and wants for your family. Some families have many kids so please make sure to scroll along the spreadsheet. If you are in a position where you can support a family and see an item you would like to contribute, that is very appreciated. We are not looking to buy every item on the list but we do want our families to get some of their needs and wants. Please ensure that the items contributed are new.

Steps:

1. Read through list for your child’s class using the links below

2. If you have bought or already have a specific item put a “Y” next to the item on the spreadsheet

3. Wrap and label your gift. Please write the first name of the person receiving the gift on the label.

We talked about the characters, setting and the problem in each of the stories. Our learners drew pictures to share about each story in their visual journals. We worked on addition and subtraction to 10 by playing a variety of games.  We did literacy centers and focused on skills such as alphabet recognition, letter and sound matching games, reading 3 letter words (cvc-consonant vowel consonant ), and reading high frequency words (such as you, it, in, is, to, the, that etc.) Upcoming Dates Friday June 21:  PM Kindergarten Field Trip to Butterfield Acres Wednesday June 26: Last Day of Kindergarten- Sports Day and Spirit Day - Wear red and white

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 . 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...
