Hello Kindergarten families,

It has been such a busy week that I have very few photos to share! 

Our letter of the week was Cc. The letter C is a tricky one! It makes different sounds in different words, like cookie, circus, and chair.  We used our hands to make the letter C with our bodies. We could also make it by curving our whole body!  When it came time to draw things that begin with C, we had a wide array of options from candy cane to climbing wall!


Our kitchen centre has been transformed into a winter wonderland this week.  Students have been using their imaginations to mix up hot chocolate and bake yummy cookies!  It is so fun to watch the students completely immersed in play.


Our students have been enjoying presenting their Winter Celebrations sheets to the class! I love hearing about the traditions and favourite family memories.  We will continue sharing next week as forms come back. 

We are getting outside for fresh air to end the day today. Thank goodness the weather warmed up this week!  Thank you for labeling snowpants, gloves, hats, etc. so we can return them to the proper owner.  Please help your child practice putting on snow gear independently to make it easier for us to get outside!

Upcoming Events:

*Reminder: There will be no book exchange at the Library until after the break. Please return all borrowed books so our librarian can get ready for the new year!

Hello Kindergarten families, We have been working hard and learning a lot in K!   Our letter of the week was S, so we spent much of our week hissing like ssssssnakes! See if your child can find some things around your house that start with S! We went on our first community walk this week. We went up to the community gardens and talked about signs of fall. Thank you to our volunteers for braving the cold!  Community walks are a monthly event that takes place rain or shine. If you would like to join us on a walk at some point this year, please contact the office to begin the volunteer clearance process.  We would love to have you! Next week we will have a very special guest in Kindergarten! Sergeant Chris Wig (Luna's dad) will be coming to see us on Thursday morning to talk about Halloween safety. We will also have the opportunity to go outside and see his police car!   Halloween is coming up quickly!  Please do not send candy for your child to hand out ...

Hello Kindergarten Families!    This week in Kindergarten we focused on the letter D! We came up with lots of words that begin with the letter D, like dog, dumptruck, dinosaur, donkey, and donuts.    This week we read the story “The Mitten”. The Mitten is a great story to practice our sequencing skills. Students worked on retelling which animals went into Nikkis snow white mitten. Our favourite part is when the mouse went on the bears nose. Ask your child what happened when the mouse went on bears nose!   Students were given their own “snow white mitten”. Our challenge was to create patterns on our mittens and make them not snow white. That way the mittens won’t get lost in the snow like Nikkis did!  We have been reviewing patterns as well. Students have been practising making their own AB and ABC patterns. We have been working on extending and identifying patterns as well.

Hello Kindergarten Families, It has been a busy week in Kindergarten! We have been so busy learning, growing, and playing.  In fact, we were so busy that we don't have any photos of our K friends hard at work!  Photos of some of their completed jobs will be added on Monday, so please check back. Our letter of the week was Ee!  Students noticed that the big E is pretty easy to draw with straight lines, but little e posed more of a challenge.  Echo, ear, elephant, and eagle all begin with Ee! We started a literacy unit on Sneezy the Snowman this week.  In this book full of rhythm and rhyme, the snowman gets so cold and needs to warm up!  Students loved talking about the different reasons the snowman melts.  We'll also explore writing and art activities centred around the melted snowman theme.  It would be the perfect weekend to get outside and make a Sneezy of your very own! Our Patterning unit is wrapping up in Math.  Students stretched their ...
