Hello kindergarten families,
We are almost done our Alphabet unit! All we have left are the letters Xx, Yy and Zz.
Last week kids brought home a new decodable book titled "Bad Cat". They have been practicing it at school along with the other books in their "Songs and Poems" folder. Please help them practice their book and then pack it safely in their backpacks so it can return to school on Monday.
Hello families,
Over the past week we have added the letters Ll and Kk to our alphabet books: we drew pictures of things that start with these letters , we wrote words and we even tried to write some sentences to show our learning.
In science and social studies we have been looking for signs of spring and exploring ways to show independence at school.
In math we continue to work on counting. We started to make groups of objects that we can count together. Children have been encouraged to practice these skills everyday through lessons and play-based activities.
We were very excited to count one hundred days of school, It has taken us since September to get this far. Well done Kinders!
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.
Last week we have been busy exploring standard and non-standard measurement. We even went outside and measured the length and height of br...
