Tomorrow is Orange Shirt Day - please wear your orange shirt to show your support that every child matters. We will be painting with orange paint ... please do not wear your best clothes tomorrow. Painting in Kindergarten is messy!
If anyone has any sunflowers in their yards that they would be willing to donate to Kindergarten, please send them to school on Monday. We would love to create a science exploration center using the sunflowers. If you have any questions, about this, please contact your child's teacher. Thank you for considering our request!
We started our day with arrival centers.
We talked about the month of September and all of the "firsts" that came with September. We drew pictures in our visual journals about all of the first things we have done at school.
The morning class met with Saa' Ko' Ko'Too to listen to Indigenous songs and stories. We liked that Saa' Ko' Ko'Too spoke to us in his language of Blackfoot.
We learned about the number 3. We turned the number 3 into a monster. Please enjoy the Number 3 song.
The PM kindergarten class listened to a virtual assembly about Terry Fox. More information below about Terry Fox.

Terry's Story
At the age of. 18, Terry Fox was diagnosed with osteogenic sarcoma and was forced to have his right leg amputated. Determined to help others suffering from cancer, he decided to run across Canada, running a marathon a day for 143 days, to raise funds for cancer research. Unfortunately, Terry's cancer returned, and he was forced to end his Marathon of Hope, but his legacy had only just begun.
Today, the future of cancer research is very bright. The Terry Fox Foundation funds a variety of different cancer research projects such as lung, breast, ovarian, colorectal, pediatric, prostrate, brain and blood. With your support, we will continue to make a difference in the fight against cancer.

AM kindergarten looked fantastic all dressed up for Halloween! We had a fun day at school. Today we were Scientists and took a closer look at pumpkins. We watched a video from Sci Kids about pumpkin dissection and learned about all the parts of a pumpkin. We learned about estimation and had to estimate about the height of a pumpkin using cubes, the circumference of a pumpkin using string and estimated the number of ribs on the pumpkin. We then measured to see how accurate we were with our guesses. We worked in groups. Our last job was to predict what would happen when we placed a pumpkin in water. Would it sink or float? We used tally marks to share our thinking. Ask your child what happened when we placed the pumpkin in water. We read the story, "The Happy Pumpkin" and talked about jack o lanterns and the different faces. We made our own pumpkins using paper. We had music with Mrs. Coulson. Friday is PM kindergarten. PM kindergarten are invited to wear the...
Today we exchanged home reading. Your child took home 2 books to read this week. Please return them on Thursday. We are looking at poetry in our class. We read the story, "Hello Ocean" and had to think of one word to describe the ocean. We made a list and talked about using descriptive words to speak about the ocean. We used our 5 senses to help us describe the ocean and created a class poem. We will be focusing on creating ocean creature poems over the next few weeks in class. We played bump in math. It is a game that focuses on counting on from the biggest number using dice. AM Kindergarten and Mrs. Mask's PM class had music. Mr. Campbell's class had gym. We practiced rhyming words and wrote our own on whiteboards. We had centers. Friday is PM kindergarten.
