Hello Families,
Another busy week in Kindergarten rounded off the month of February. Next week we welcome March and time is flying.
This week was quite eventful as the AM class attended the Jump Rope for Heart assembly and were able to watch an amazing teachers vs. students skipping competition as we learned all about how to keep our heart healthy and body strong.
Both classes had a visit from our school Knowledge Keeper and Indigenous Elder - Hal Eagletail. He came to share more stories, answer more questions and sang us some songs that have been passed down from generation to generation. We liked listening to his drum.
Our letter of the week was K for Kindness as we celebrated Pink Shirt Day on Wednesday. We talked all about how we show kindness to one another at home and at school. We understand that we feel good when we make others feel good too. In our classroom we read stories about kangaroos and kazoos. We had lots of fun making our own kites and had a chance to take them outside and test them on a breezy day.
This week we finally made it to the number 10 in our number journals and made creative pictures using 10 back dots after reading a story called "Ten Black Dots." We will be using our black dot pictures to put together our first collaborative class book. It was so neat to see every person's own unique ideas for their picture.
Other highlights of the week included seeing our giant dragon hanging in the hallway when we got to school on Monday. He's so big and bright and shiny! We also loved going to see Ms. McLean in the Library. She showed us how to use "Book Markers" to choose books off of the shelves in the big section of the Library. That was very exciting!
During the week we built cities, played cards, made giant puzzles, and crafted like crazy! We also did directed drawings, played with the sunlight, played with animals and crafted some more.
Here are some upcoming dates:
