Thursday June 9

Today we read, "What's Your Favorite Bug?" By Eric Carle. We looked at picture books to figure out what our favourite bug is. We then played guess the bug and students had to describe their insect without telling us what it is.

Kindergarten got to meet with  Samantha Whelan Kotkas and Walter MacDonald White Bear. They learned about:

  • How the coulee “Speaks To Me”
  • Poetry
  • Indigenous music and instruments
  • Ties through the book The Happiness Tree  by Andrea Alban Gosline
  • Looking at the art and story of Alex Janvier  (World Reknown Indigenous Artist)

Ask your child about their favourite part during their time with our guest speakers. 

Friday is AM kindergarten.  We will be going for a community walk so please dress for the weather and pack easy snacks to eat outside and a full water bottle. Thank you.

There will be no more book exchange this year . Please return your books for next week so that Mrs. Carde can catalogue all of the books . Thank you.

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 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.
