Friday October 29

 We had fun seeing everyone dressed up in their costumes.  We had arrival centers and then did some Halloween art centers. We made paint chip halloween witches, shape bats, lacing pumpkins and spiders. It was fun to see everyone's creativity!

We read the story, "The Crankenstein" and  did our very own guided drawings of Frankenstein. 

You can watch the story: Crankenstein

We played at centers.

We hope everyone has a safe and fun Halloween. :)


Happy Hallowe'en !

If you would like to add some learning fun into Hallowe'en, here are some ideas below to do with your child. 

1. Ask your child to sort their candy by size, shape, colour. type etc.

2. Have them count the number of each kind.

3. Have them count the number of pieces of candy in each small box.

4. Identify the letters on the package they know. Can they find the whole alphabet? Do they know the sound that the letters make?

Kindergarten Music - Sept

 Hello Kindergarten!!! I am Jennele Coulson and I teach you (your student) music twice a week.  We have so much fun together.  At the end of every month you can expect a post from me keeping you up to date with that we have been working on in music class.  I have so much to update you on.   At Eric Harvie there is a huge focus on peace songs.  We began the year by learning one of our favourites. It is called Peace in My Fingers.  You can listen to the song here, Peace In My Fingers . Can you teach your parents the actions?  On Sept. 21, the international day of Peace we sang this song for the whole school over the intercom and we did an amazing job!  We also have been listening to a song called the Peacemaker Song.  You can check this song out by clicking here, Peacemaker .  Peace education will be woven through all that we do.   We have played around with the different things we can do with our voice and understanding our speaking vs. our singing voice.  Our sweet flying squirrel, Scr

If you have booked an online conference, your child is bringing home their blue journal and white visual journal.  Please look through these journals prior to your interview time.  Please return the journals to us on Monday.  If you booked an in person conference, your child's work will be at the school for you to look at with them.  All journals will be sent home at the end of June for you to keep.  Many thanks! Today was a great day at school.  Thank you to everyone who helped their child bring Show and Tell this week.  Please check the show and tell calendar that was emailed to you last week and mark your child's date on the calendar. As a reminder ... Cultural Artifact   In Social Studies, we are learning about what makes each of us unique.

 What a great day at school!  We had new arrival centers where we are working cooperatively to play board games and build puzzles.  We were excited to try the new alphabet centers where we are using chalk and sponges to draw letters and using wooden boards to make the letters. We continued our work on the next pages of the winter booklet.  Today we had the choice of "I see hot chocolate." or "I see skates."  Please ask your child what page they added to their Winter book. Friday is PM Kindergarten.  There is no school on Monday January 31st for a Professional Development Day.
