November 28th Edition of
The Kindergarten Class News
Hello Everyone!
On Monday the class practiced printing the lowercase letter ‘u’ and played with scarves in the gym. Later we worked in our journals and finished up our unit on hibernation. There was no library this week due to the book fair.
Tuesday we had a chance to browse the books at the Book Fair and then worked on rhyming. Later we continued our work with story telling in our Oral Language Groups.
Windy Wednesday was another full day. We made beautiful winter art, enjoyed centres and went to Math. After we had Amy visit again to do yoga with the class. The kids were able to follow along a little better this time and it was a lot of fun.
Thursday was a half-day to accommodate the student led conferences. The children all had a chance to practice each station during the day and were excited to show their families what they have been learning. It was so nice to see how proud each child was coming in to do the Student Led Conferences. It was a celebration of learning.
We have been working hard practicing our song for the Christmas Concert. The class will be preforming the song, “Little Toy Trains”. The concert takes place on the evening of the 17th and we will gather in the classroom at 6:00pm to prepare.
Next, Tuesday at 12:45pm, I will be doing a winter wreath making craft with the class. I could use a couple extra helpers on this day. If you are able to come help, or if you have any nice greenery/winter items that you are able to donate to the wreath decorations, please let me know.
Next Wednesday our class will team up with an older class to go choose a tree from the Christmas tree farm for the school! It is an exciting tradition that the youngest class and oldest class get to do.
Re-Gift Fest is coming up on December 10th! This is a wonderful Fulford tradition where families are encouraged to donate lightly used toys and household items and then the kids all have a chance to “shop” for a gift for each member of their immediate family (or those family members living in the same household). We encourage families to donate the same number of items as the number of people in their immediate family. It’s a nice lesson on giving that we all enjoy every year. If any of you would like to help wrap presents on Dec. 10th, please contact Rebecca.
