October 25th Edition of
The Kindergarten Class News
Greetings!
Although it ended in rain, it was a beautiful week.
On Monday we continued to learn about printing and practiced the lowercase letter ‘f’. We visited the library and chose a new book. In PE we set up activity stations and then spent time observing our special trees in the forest.
Tuesday was picture day! The kids did a great job waiting for their turn to have their school photo taken. Proofs will be sent home when they arrive and orders are done online. If your child was away, they may get their photos taken when they schedule retakes. Later that day we talked about warm and cool colours and made leaf art. The forest was closed due to a cougar sighting in the area so we played field games instead.
On Wednesday the kids practiced their numbers in math, played a rhyming game and learned about the traditional uses of the wild rose-hip. We all gathered and brewed rosehip tea to try in the afternoon.
Thursday we welcomed Aurelia, a new student, into our class! Everyone was very excited to meet her and help her settle in. Thursday was also pizza day. The class all enjoyed the hot lunch. We went to our Whole School Meeting where Drew and Poppy showed their art to the school, and later we worked on storytelling in our Oral Language groups.
Once again, we have now started our regular show and tell rotations. Each week your child has a day to bring in one item from home to show to the class. Please keep in mind that each day has a number of kids assigned to it so if your child misses his or her day we may not have time to fit them in on a different day. Here are the days again:
Mondays/Fridays: Caleb, Chet, Drew, Emma and Elijah
Tuesdays: Galini, Grace, Harvey, Jace and Aurelia
Wednesdays: Jamie, Jasmine, Marrella and Poppy
Thursdays: Rowan, Silka, Stqye’ye, West and Violet
Next week we are looking for items that begin with the letter ‘Bb’.
We will be having a Hallowe’en Party on Wednesday the 31st starting at 1:30pm.The children are encouraged to come to school in their costume (please leave weapon parts at home). If you would like to send along a healthy snack to share with the class we will have a shared snack and celebration in the afternoon. Feel free to pop in!
November 1st will be PJ day! Come to school in your jammies.
