Monday November 15


We started our week with new arrival activities. We are practicing some counting skills, patterning, alphabet matching and cooperative games. 

Ms. Mach continued to teach us about patterns. We made patterns with our bodies and had to guess the core of the pattern and how to extend the pattern. We made pattern sweaters in our books.

Ms. Gysbers taught us about the sense of touch. We had played a mystery bag game where we had to place our hands in the bag and describe the texture.  We also got in groups and tried a slime experiment. We created slime out of 2 ingredients. Ask your child about making the slime and what did they notice.

We had gym today and practiced our rolls, balances and jumps. Mrs. Mask's PM class had music with Mrs. Coulson.

PEACE AMBASSADORS – JACKET RACKET Charity Drive

The Eric Harvie Peace Ambassadors will soon be starting our drive for Jacket Racket.  This is a wonderful opportunity for students to help other children here in our city, by donating warm outerwear that they no longer need.   It is a valuable experience for our students and reinforces our school’s commitment to peace and citizenship education. We accept new or gently used items.  Bagged items can be brought to the school on Wednesday, November 10 to Thursday, November 18 and dropped off into bins in front of the school between 8:15 am and 3:30 pm, keeping our Covid rules in place.  Jacket Racket will pick up our donations on Friday, November 19.

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 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.
