Happy Holidays to all our Kindergarten families.  We hope your holidays are restful and fun!  We look forward to seeing everyone back at school in January.


We have had a great week at school.  We continue to explore the numbers 1-10 by reviewing number lines and filling blanks number spaces in on a number line.  We reviewed patterns by making strings of Christmas lights with patterns and labelling our patterns with the letters such as AB, ABB, or ABC.

We focussed on the letter D this week.  We learned the D song, practiced printing D, and drew pictures that start with D.  We have learned the following letters and letter sounds at school this fall and your child should be familiar with them all: S, M, T, I, P, N, D, C, P, O, A, B & G.

We had a "snowball fight" at school using paper snowballs and the letters of the alphabet.  We practiced saying the letter and letter sound before we could throw our "snowball"

We read "Sneezy the Snowman" and completed a journal entry about hot items we need to keep our snowmen away from.  Please ask your child what they need to keep Sneezey away from.

We had music, gym and library this week.  PM Kindergarten went to the gym to sing Christmas carols.

Thank you to everyone who participating in the Spirit Wear days this week.  It was fun to see everyone in all their festive gear!

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...
