Happy New Year! 

Looking Back...

- We have jumped right back into learning since the break!! 

- The number of the week last week was 6, we represented six using pictures, number form, stickers and tens frames

- For art we did a project using 6 sticks - ask your kiddo what they turned 6 sticks into, they had some really creative ideas! 

- Last week's letter of the week was Ww for winter, we talked about what changes outside in winter and fun winter activities

- We journaled "In winter I see...." using pictures and starting to sound out beginning letter sounds we labeled our drawings

- The letter of the week this week was Mm

- We read The Mitten and practiced sequencing a story by acting out the animals with headbands and cutting and gluing animal pictures in order

- We finished patterning, creating our very own patterns on Mittens!

- The number of the week this week was 7


Looking Forward...

- Next week provincial assessments start, I will be in the building working with students, but we will have a few new faces in our room to support during this time

- Library day is Tuesday! Please return library books every week to be exchanged for new ones ☺

- If you could collect and send in clean toilet paper rolls for a project at the beginning of February, that would be greatly appreciated! We need one for each student in Kindergarten. 

- BOOK ORDERS went home this week, if you are interested in making a purchase I will be submitting our class order on Thursday January 29th, to ensure they arrive before valentines day/family day long weekend. https://bookclubs.scholastic.ca/ our class code is RC110977

- There will be NO SCHOOL Thursday January 29th and Friday January 30th

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!

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!
