 Today we celebrated Remembrance Day at school.  We enjoyed watching the EHS Remembrance Day virtual assembly.  Please enjoy your child's Remembrance Day art that they are bringing home today.  

EHS Remembrance Day Virtual Assembly

Ms. Mach taught us about patterns today.  We used our bodies to make patterns.  Please ask your child what patterns they were able to make with their bodies.  Can your child use letters (AB) to tell you what kind of pattern it is?  Are they able to describe the core of the pattern?

Ms. G taught us about our 5 senses.  Today we focused on the sense of hearing.  We played the sound game where we listening to sounds on the smart board and then had to guess what the sound was.  We explored with loose parts to see which ones make sounds and which do not.  Finally, we drew pictures in our journals of sounds we can hear.

As a reminder, please make sure to pack your child a pair of extra pants, socks and underwear in their backpack as the office does not have any extra at this time. Thank you for your cooperation.

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.

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 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.
