Looking Back...

A quick little week we had again!

- The letter of this week was Ll

- We labelled the classroom, using our phonetic awareness to stretch and sound out different words! We have been practicing this a lot recently as we start to build our reading and writing skills

- We journaled about the Olympics, and drew pictures as what winter sport we would choose if we were athletes, ask your kiddo which sport they picked



Looking Forward...

- Friday February 20th is PM Kindergarten, please do not send your morning kindergarten friends ☺ our next AM Kindergarten in Friday March 6th! 

- Tuesday is library day, please return all books! 

- Wednesday February 25th is Pink Shirt day - to spread kindness and a sense of belonging. 

- There is NO SCHOOL Friday February 27th for a system wide PD Day

- A reminder; please DO NOT let your child bring ANY toys to school. We are having major issues with toys in the classroom, not sharing, getting lost and bringing them to gym/music where they are not appropriate to have. Toys are NOT allowed at school, this is a school rule. I understand daycare has special toy days, on these days your child needs to understand these toys stay IN our backpacks. I am starting to take toys away for the remainder of the day. If this issue is on going, toys will need to be picked up from the office going forward.

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! Please send your kiddo in outdoor running shoes for this.  - we are also collecting toonies for Terry, our school goal is for each student to bring in at least 1 toonie in order to reach $1150 ...

 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...
