Wednesday April 20

We started our day with Writing Wednesday. Our learners are doing a wonderful job with labelling their pictures and attempting to write sentences independently.

We continued on our exploration of the ocean. Today we learned about the layers of the ocean. We watched a video and then created the layers of the ocean in our class. We placed ocean creatures in each layer. Ask your child about the layers and what aquatic life we find in the layers. 

We learned about syllables and practiced clapping out our names and other objects in the class. We played a smartboard game to practice how many syllables in each word. Can you practice tapping or clapping out syllables at home.

We had centers and gym.

This week Kindergarten students are working in-school with Lexi Hilderman from Radiant Art on our final two outdoor murals. 

EHS students helped design these final two panels with artist Rebecca Ellison in the fall, clarifying and improving on the initial designs through the fall. The designs are now finished and the blank mural panels have been prepared. Our EHS learners will be bringing them to life over the next six weeks!

Friday is PM Kindergarten.

Police Screening:  Kindergarten will be going on a field trip to Glenbow Ranch on Thursday May 19.  We will require many volunteers to help us out!  In order to volunteer all adults must have a current police screening with CBE.  If you are interested in volunteering please contact the main office to complete the necessary paperwork.  If you complete the paperwork in the next week your screening will be back in time for you to be able to join us.

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. We practiced rhyming words and wrote our own on whiteboards.  We had centers.  Friday is PM kindergarten.
