December 8-11

Looking Back...

- The letter of the week this week was Cc for candy cane and cookie, using just a piece of paper we learned how to make our own pattern candy canes 

- For read aloud we listened to a few different versions of the Gingerbread Man story; ask your student which one was their favourite

- After listening to the gingerbread man story, we sequenced how to make a gingerbread cookie from start to finish and labelled it 1-6 

- We continued to practice writing letters 3 and 5 as they are a little tricky! 

- We made snowmen books and counted up from 1 to 5 on each page, using snowman stickers to represent each number 


Looking Forward...

- Next week Friday we will be trying small Gingerbread cookies for our intro to the 5 senses, please let me know of any dietary restrictions that would require your student to not participate in the tasting

- Friday December 19th is the last day of school before winter break! Classes will resume on Monday January 5th 

- Friday December 19th is PJ day, come dressed cozy for the last day - please no blankets or stuffed animals! 

- There is no more library borrowing! Please return all borrowed books before December 19th

- We will have an "Elf Station" in the classroom next week, please donate any leftover tape or wrapping paper and bows you may have laying around for our little elves to practice their wrapping skills!

Welcome to Kindergarten my lovely crew!! We had a great first week ☺ Looking Back… - this week we got to know our new space, toured the school, found the Gym and Music room as well as the office and library.  - we met lots of new friends and practiced introducing ourselves and asking our friends what their names are too!  - we read lots of stories about going to school and the feelings that can come up  - on our first day with the whole class we drew pictures of ourselves and attempted to write our names - we also practiced colouring and making sure we go slow and take our time!! And colouring all the white spaces. Kindergarten is no place for scribbles  Looking Forward… - next week THURSDAY September 11th the AM kindergarteners will be running the Terry Fox Run together!

 It was so great to meet so many families last week at our first ever September Open House! Thanks for coming out and visiting our classroom  Looking Back... - Last week we had our Terry Fox run! The kiddos ran so many laps and no one gave up, even when they got tired they kept on walking - During the first few weeks we have reviewed classroom rules and expectations, we made a 👍👎 page and sorted different behaviours like using inside voices, walking feet, sharing and yelling, running etc into the right category - We have been practicing important skills using learning tools like scissors and glue. We talked about appropriate ways to use tools - For glue we read "Too Much Glue!" and practiced making mosaic art with small pieces of ripped paper glued onto a shape - For cutting we practiced how to hold scissors and chomp chomp chomp the paper! We made scissor salads and got to cut up all sorts of paper - Monday was Dot Day and we use our imagination to turn dots into a variety...
