Monday December 6

Today we had new arrival centers. We are working on skills such as alphabet recognition, making words, patterning, subitizing and small world play. 

We learned about a the letter Nn and the sound it makes. We practiced printing the letter n and drew pictures of items that start with n.

We continued to learn about frogs and how they prepare for hibernation. Ask your child what frogs do. We learned about how frogs have glucose in their bodies. We were scientists today and did an experiment with syrup and water to show what happens when we freeze the liquids. We are looking to see what happens to the frogs bodies when it is time to hibernate. Ask your child what they think will happen. 

We learned a new math game. We played race to 10 (or to 30). We roll a dice and have to move our bear the number of spaces on the dice. In order to win the game you must roll the exact number to land on 10 (or 30) or you have to return to the beginning. 

We had centers and Mrs. Mask's PM class had music and Mrs. McLean's class had gym. 

This is Ms. Mach's and Ms. Gysbers last week with us until the new year. They will be back for their final practicum from February to April. We have loved having them in our class. 


This Friday BOTH AM/PM kindergarten will attend school. 

Every Wednesday in December will be Spirit Days:

  • Dec. 8 - Festive shirt/sweater day or green and red day

  • Dec. 15 - Pyjama Day

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.
