Wednesday October 20

Tomorrow is Picture Re-take day.  If you are interested in having re-takes please make sure your child's teacher knows.  If you sent back your photo package indicating you would like re-takes we have you on the list.  If your child was absent on photo day they will be getting their picture taken tomorrow.

The AM classes will be walking to Teepee forest on Thursday October 21 to learn from our Elder Saa'kokoto.  Please make sure your child is dressed for the weather and wearing comfortable walking shoes.

The PM classes will be meeting with Saa'kokoto at the end of the day outside at the school amphitheatre.

Today at school we learned about the letter F.  We practiced printing F on the white boards and in our new printing books.  We drew pictures of things that started with the letter F.  Please ask your child what sound the letter F makes.  Please look at home to find things that start with the letter F.

We also wrote about what we like to dress-up as in our writing journals. 

The AM classes went to the gym.  We played Junk in My Yard.  This game was a huge hit!  Please ask your child how to play!

Friday is AM Friday and it will be black and orange day for the AM Kindies.  PM Kindies will have black and orange day next week.

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.

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.
