Wednesday June 1

Happy June ! Hard to believe it is the last month of school. Our learners have come so far this year. We are very proud of them. We are looking forward to spending this last month with them before they move on to Grade 1!

AM Kindergarten had a visit from Miss Wauthier's  Grade 1/2 class to present their reader's theatre on the Wild Robot. We were so impressed at the Grade 1/2's reading and writing to create their performances. Well done!  

We continued to create our plasticine ocean creatures. While some of our friends did clay creations, the other groups of children played math games and did free choice writing in our journals. We will be rotating over the next few days for everyone to have a chance to get their plasticine ocean creatures made. We are creating an ocean scene for the animals we have learned. 

We practiced adding to 5 and to 10. We used blocks and white boards to practice what numbers make 5 and 10. 

We enjoyed listening to a few read alouds. We listened for rhyming words in the stories. 

Mrs. Mask' s PM class had music. We went outside to play to enjoy the beautiful sunshine. 

A reminder that there is NO school for Kindergarten on Friday.  Our new Kindergarten children for next year will be visiting our class :)

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.
