September 23rd Edition of
The Kindergarten Class News
Hello Everyone!
The children continue to do an excellent job adjusting to life at school. They are adapting and are aware of expected behaviour and routines. Thank you to Jocelyn Lukow for volunteering to be our class rep!
With the rainy weather approaching, we will be welcoming the kids to come right in the Kindy door in the morning by 8:10am so they don't need to wait outside.
On Monday the class started working on letter printing practice. We will work through all the lowercase letters first and follow the order suggested by Printing Like a Pro. As the children begin to learn to write, I encourage proper pencil grip as it makes writing and drawing so much easier. Here is a video that shows the proper pencil grip so you can reinforce it at home: https://youtu.be/Eq6ggYR-aeY
On Monday we also made fun apple tree art, went to Music and had a nature scavenger hunt in the forest!
Tuesday we started learning more about patterns. The kids practiced making patterns in class and in the forest. I read the book, “A Family is a Family is a Family”, by Sara O’Leary and talked about how all families are special and unique. We then drew pictures of our families. New library books were taken home. Please return them when you are finished reading them.
On Wednesday we learned the alphabet rap, always fun. We also read “My Heart Fills With Happiness” a book by Monique Grey-Smith and wrote about what makes us happy in our journals. Later we made letters out of nature while in the forest.
Thursday was a half day and we continued learning about patterns and apples! The kids also had a lot of fun playing in the gym and learned a new math game.
We are enjoying the All About Me projects. Thanks for all your hard work! Please send in your poster when it is ready for the class to enjoy. If you missed your date, please send in the photo board whenever it is ready. Here is the schedule for next week:
Tuesday-Robin and Sammy

Monday is school photo day! The kindergarten kids usually go first to have their pictures taken. There will be a retake day on November 1st if your child can't be there.
