Hello Families,
Over the past week we have been busy reviewing letters, sounds and syllables. We have also been learning about Independence. The students learned that we show independence by being able to do things all by ourselves. Some examples were getting ready to go outside for recess, finishing tasks, putting containers away and cleaning up at lunch time, taking the bus to school for the first time, etc. After brainstorming ideas we drew pictures and wrote them down.
Dear families,
Kinders have been exploring some more letters sounds and have added new pages to their alphabet books.
The new letters and sounds are: Gg, Hh, Dd, Ee, Ff and Vv. Here are some samples of our work.
We have been practicing copying, reading and writing simple sentences.
In math students have been engaged in playing math games and counting.
Parachute games have been a hit this month and since the weather has improved we have been able to go outside for gym. Please remember to dress your child appropriately for the weather and to place an extra change of clothes in their backpack in case they get wet.
Over the past week we continued to explore letters and sounds. We have added letters B and C to our alphabet books.
In math we were working with patterns and are starting to make numbers using our own fingers or small objects.
In science we have been learning about how animals adapt to winter. We are learning that some animals migrate, some hibernate, some gather food and some change their coats.
Please remember report cards will be available online by the end of this week. Please contact the school office if you are having issues viewing them, or you are unable to access PowerSchool.
This past week the students continued to review all the letters and math concepts studied so far. They had guided drawing lessons for the letters N, P and T (for the letter Nn we drew ourselves as Ninjas which was a big hit).
In math we reviewed AB patterns and started experimenting with ABC patterns.
In social studies we continued to learn about the circle of courage. We are now focusing on Generosity as a school.
Gym continues to be outside in order to keep everyone as safe as possible. Please remember to give your children mittens, snow pants, boots and warm jackets. An extra pair of socks comes in handy when children's socks get wet.
Thank you all for a great week online! This week would not have been possible without parents, children and teachers working together.
The kindergarten team (Ms. Florea, Mrs. Reguly and Ms. Cadman) would like to tank you for all your hard work. Many parents had to work from home, care for multiple children, take time off, or make special arrangements in order to help their children be part of online school. Adults and children alike, had to learn to work with new technology and adapt to these challenging ever changing times.
We are grateful for all that you have done this week and look forward to seeing you in person, at school, on Monday.
During our virtual assembly on Friday we focused on Generosity. This is the second area of the Circle of Courage we will be learning about. We have been talking about different winter customs as well as how Generosity makes big difference.
In language arts we have explored the letters Ss, Aa, Tt, Ii, Mm, Nn, Oo, Pp, and their corresponding sounds. Students have been challenged to find words starting with these sounds. Take some time to go on a letter hunt around the house and see if you can spot any items that start with these letters.
In math, we have been working on making groups of different numbers and have used our knowledge to create ornaments that have certain numbers of decorative items on them.
Over the past week we have continued tp focus on letters and sounds, especially the letters Tt, Mm, Aa, Ii, and Ss. Please take a moment to talk to your child about these letters and their sounds.
In math we have been practicing counting forward and backward to and from 10. We also continue to practice understanding how numbers work and how to identify them.
Last week we have been busy exploring standard and non-standard measurement. We even went outside and measured the length and height of br...
